Fermentation Essence

Korea ranking #37 essenceUS stock

A watery ferment essence from Benton, meant to be an early hydrating layer that leaves skin smooth and comfortable. It pairs yeast-based ferments with a mix of peptides for a lightweight, sinks-right-in feel. A good everyday option for normal, dry, combination, or sensitive skin after gentle glow and softness.

More detail

The formula centers on galactomyces ferment filtrate and bifida ferment lysate, fermented ingredients associated with a smoother, more hydrated, better-conditioned surface, backed by several peptides (including copper tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl tripeptide-1) plus ceramide NP, hyaluronic acid, panthenol, and soothing allantoin and aloe. The texture is a thin, quick-absorbing essence with no tacky finish, and it's fragrance-free and alcohol-free. Pat a little onto clean skin after toner, morning and night, before your serums and moisturizer. It's gentle enough for sensitive and dry skin, and layers easily under the rest of a routine. As with any new ferment product, patch test first if you react easily.
