Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.

Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (GFF) is a yeast traditionally used to make the Japanese alcoholic beverage, sake.

GFF has moisturizing and antioxidant properties.

Studies show GFF improves our skin's natural moisturizing factors (NMF). Our NMF consists of many components that naturally moisturize our skin. Having healthy NMF keeps our skin plump, protected, and hydrated.

This ingredient tells our skin to create more filaggrin, an important component for NMF.

Filaggrin gathers all the structural proteins in our outer layer of skin and creates a tight barrier, helping to protect our skin against allergens and bacteria. This also helps prevent moisture loss.

Thanks to its antioxidant properties, GFF also protects our skin against oxidative stress and UV induced inflammation.

One study found GFF helped regulate sebum (oil) production and keratin in participants.

GFF may not be fungal-acne safe. We recommend speaking with a professional if you have concerns.

Many components of sake, such as GFF, are studied for their anti-aging benefits today. This is because sake brewers are known to have youthful hands.

I was pretty sceptical about this product however from the first use it has hydrated, smoothed and made my complexion gorgeous. I have dry rosacea sensitive prone skin and I use this every morning and night and it just leaves my skin glowing. I purchase this when it’s on sale as it can be pretty costly at full RRP. I prefer hydration in layers and this is perfect after a toner or on humid days I Show more

It's very surprising how well this essence did for me, it helped so much with my post acne marks and never broke me out. As for oil balancing & barrier I'm not too sure about it but my main goal is to clear my marks and it serve thag pretty well. It's very watery and potent. I have oily skin acne prone skin that lives in a very humid whether and this being able to absorb into my skin is wild
