A lightweight, multi-ferment essence designed to soften dead skin buildup, smooth texture, and hydrate deeply.

Its blend of soybean, barley, pomegranate, and pear ferments supports gentle daily exfoliation while helping to improve pore visibility and overall radiance.

The fluid texture absorbs quickly, leaving the skin refreshed, comfortable, and smooth.

Helps refine the look of pores and soften congestion with consistent use.
Provides controlled, gentle exfoliation without harsh acids.
Leaves the skin feeling plump, hydrated, and freshly resurfaced.
Minimalist, fragrance-free, and suitable for daily use.
Supports a clearer, more even complexion over time.
Curated pick: Ideal for those who want smoother texture and refined pores but struggle with irritation from AHAs/BHAs — this essence delivers visible results while staying exceptionally gentle.

Soybean Ferment – Helps soften dead skin cells and smooth surface roughness for improved clarity.
Barley Ferment – Supports gentle exfoliation and helps refine pore appearance.
Pomegranate & Pear Ferments – Provide antioxidant care and help improve brightness and balance.
Glycerin & Propanediol – Deliver long-lasting hydration and comfort without heaviness.

Apply after toner and before serums.
Dispense 1–2 pumps into the palms and smooth over the face.
For areas with congestion or uneven texture, apply a slightly thicker layer and massage gently.

Skin Types: Normal, Dry, Combination, Oily, Sensitive

Concerns: Hydrating/Dryness, Uneven Texture, Pores & Blackheads (refines appearance), Dullness, Fine Lines/Mature Skin, Congestion-prone areas needing gentle resurfacing

Pairs well with: Centella essences, Hyaluronic Acid layers, Niacinamide serums, Panthenol gels, and Peptide moisturisers. Works especially well with barrier-repair routines when layered after calming toners.

Compatible with: All active ingredients — including Vitamin C (all forms), retinoids, exfoliating acids, azelaic acid, and tranexamic acid. The ferment-based formula is gentle and hydrating, making it suitable beneath stronger actives.

Avoid using: None. Ferments are generally well-tolerated and do not conflict with other skincare ingredients. Highly reactive skin may prefer to patch test due to multiple botanical ferments.

Layering tip: Apply after cleansing and toning. Massage lightly to enhance ferment absorption and textural smoothing.

Pro Tip: Excellent for achieving a “glass-skin” finish — reviews highlight smoother texture and refined pores. Ideal for dull, dehydrated, or mature skin needing gentle revitalisation without acids.
