Time Revolution The First Essence 5X

The formula is 97% fermented cica-yeast extract, which carries the flavonoids, amino acids, and antioxidants produced during fermentation, and this 5X version backs it with niacinamide for brightening plus ceramide NP and glycerin for barrier support. The texture is barely thicker than water, absorbs quickly, and leaves no film — think of it as a hydration-and-tone step, not a moisturizer. Use it as the very first leave-on step morning and night: pour a few drops into your palms and pat in, or sweep it across the skin with a dampened cotton pad. It sits at a skin-friendly pH 5.5 and is made without added fragrance, alcohol, essential oils, parabens, or silicones. The main caution is the ferment itself: skin prone to fungal-type breakouts sometimes reacts to yeast ferments, so patch test before using it all over. The 150 ml bottle goes a long way at a few drops per use.
