Starting Treatment Essence Rose Edition

Korea ranking #54 essenceUS stock

A water-thin "first treatment" essence built on galactomyces, a yeast ferment used as an early, glow-supporting step. This rose edition adds rose flower water for a light floral scent, and it is an affordable way into the fermented-essence category. Suited to normal, dry, or combination skin that wants a brightening, hydrating first layer.

More detail

Galactomyces ferment filtrate leads the formula, a yeast-derived ingredient valued for hydration and evening out tone, supported by niacinamide for brightness, adenosine for firmness, glycerin for moisture, and rose (Rosa centifolia) flower water. It has a runny, water-like texture that absorbs immediately and leaves a light, non-sticky finish. Use it right after cleansing (and toner, if you use one) as your first treatment step, patting a few drops into damp skin before serums and moisturizer, morning or night. Note that it contains rose flower water, so it is not fragrance-free. Ferment ingredients like galactomyces can trigger breakouts in people prone to fungal acne (malassezia), so patch test first if that applies to you.
