What it is

A milky essence designed to feed a tired moisture barrier back to comfort.

Fermented black rice and probiotic ferments hydrate and gently brighten, while five ceramides, cholesterol and fatty acids rebuild the barrier in the skin's own 3:1:1 ratio.

The texture is rich yet light, sinking in like a thin milk rather than a lotion.

Unscented, vegan and certified non-comedogenic.

Why we love it
  • Known as the Makgeolli Essence, after the milky Korean rice wine it resembles.
  • In the brand's 14-day test, skin moisture rose 33.7% and barrier strength 21%.
  • Five ceramides with cholesterol and fatty acids mirror the barrier's own structure.
  • Flexible by design: one layer for oily skin, two or three for dry.
  • Curated pick: The barrier drink we suggest under any of our creams when skin has been overworked by actives or weather.
Key Ingredients & Benefits
  • Fermented Black Rice (2,000ppm) – Hydrates and supports a soft, glowing look.
  • Probiotic Ferments (Galactomyces & Bifida) – Gently clarify and brighten while keeping the formula skin-friendly.
  • 5-Ceramide Complex with Cholesterol & Fatty Acids – Rebuilds the moisture barrier in the skin's own 3:1:1 ratio.
  • Panthenol & Squalane – Soothe and seal hydration in without heaviness.
  • Bamboo Shoot Extract (2,000ppm) – An antioxidant boost from the brand's signature ingredient.
How To Use
  1. Shake well before use.
  2. After toner, apply to face and neck and pat gently until absorbed.
  3. Layer to your skin's needs: once for oily skin, two or three times for dry.
  4. Use morning and evening.

Skin Type & Concerns

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

Concerns: Dryness, weakened barrier, dullness, dehydration, skin stressed by actives

Layering & Compatibility

Pairs well with: The Black Rice family it was made for, and any hydrating toner underneath. A simple cream on top seals the milky layers in.

Compatible with: All actives, including retinoids, vitamin C, niacinamide, exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA/PHA) and peptides. As a gentle barrier step it cushions stronger treatments used after it.

Avoid using with: No conflicts. Just shake first; the milky layers separate naturally between uses.

Layering tip: After toner, before serum. Pat rather than rub, and let each layer absorb before adding the next.

Pro Tip: Oily skin can wear one layer as its only moisture step in summer. Dry skin: two or three thin layers beat one thick one. A drop mixed into foundation gives a glass-skin finish.
