Elixir Advanced Emulsion T II 130ml is the moisture-sealing emulsion in the Elixir Advanced two-step routine for dry and mature skin — delivering the same W Stem Complex AD as the Advanced Lotion in a lightweight emollient base that seals the toner's hydration into the stratum corneum and provides a cushioned, dewy finish throughout the day. Used after the Advanced Lotion T II as the second and final step in the system. W Stem Complex AD — the same proprietary moisture-capacity-restoring complex as the Advanced Lotion, in emulsion delivery Self-Defense CB (Ginkgo Leaf Extract) — supports barrier resilience through the day High-Concentration Water-Soluble Collagen — seals moisture with a plumping effect Lightweight emollient base — provides comfortable moisture seal without heaviness; absorbs fully without greasiness 130ml — pairs with the 170ml Advanced Lotion T II; slightly smaller as less product is needed per emulsion application How it works: The emulsion step forms an oil-water seal over the hydration deposited by the lotion — physically slowing transepidermal water loss (TEWL) through the day. The W Stem Complex AD in the emulsion continues working in the outer skin layers as the emulsion is absorbed, compounding the moisture-capacity restoration effect started by the lotion.Is the emulsion necessary if already using the Advanced Lotion? Yes — the lotion step hydrates the stratum corneum from within; the emulsion seals that hydration from external evaporation. Without the emulsion, the lotion's moisture is not retained through the day, particularly in air-conditioned or dry environments. The two-step system works as a unit and should not be used separately for best results.Known in Japan as エリクシール アドバンスド エマルジョン Ｔ II 130mL.
