I bought Sioris My First Essener as a toner. Then I accidentally used it as a makeup primer. Then I put it in my hair. Then I dabbed it on a zit. Now I’m convinced this bottle has a secret identity.
It’s a spray-on essence that somehow does 5 jobs without half-assing any of them. That’s rare — most multi-use products are mediocre at everything.
It’s a fermented, spray-on, slightly viscous essence. $28 for 150ml. The claim that made me roll my eyes: “replaces your toner, serum, AND moisturizer.” Sure, Jan.
Spray nozzle that doesn’t suck
Fine mist. Not a jet stream. You won’t look like you got caught in the rain.
Absorbs in 12 seconds
No joke. Pat it twice and it’s gone. No sticky residue.
No fragrance
Zero. Zilch. Your nose gets a day off.

Fermented ingredients — because K-beauty loves fermentation for a reason. It’s 96% natural, which usually means nothing, but here it means your skin drinks it faster.
- Yuja (citron) extract: brightens + smells like fresh citrus without being fake
- Houttuynia cordata: calms redness better than aloe ever did
- Niacinamide: fades dark spots slowly but surely
- Lactobacillus ferment: strengthens barrier without irritation

It’s watery but not thin — like slightly thicked water. The mist is so fine it feels like nothing hit your face. Then you pat and suddenly your skin is plump. Weird in a good way.
Week 2: I got lazy and skipped moisturizer. My face didn’t revolt. Week 3: I sprayed it on a dry patch near my nose. Gone by morning. Not a miracle — just consistent.

My pores look smaller in the morning. My redness is less angry. My foundation doesn’t slide off by 2pm. My dry ends? Softer. My one pimple? Smaller after 2 days of dabbing it on. It didn’t fix everything — my dark circles are still there.
It’s not magic. It’s a well-made, fermented essence that does too many things to be this good at all of them. I’d buy it again just for the mist nozzle alone.
