I bought this because I hate my skin’s texture and a DermTok girl with perfect lighting said it “reprograms” your microbiome. Dumb? Maybe. But here we are.
The real test: my chin, which usually throws a tantrum the second I try a new active. It stayed quiet. That never happens.
It’s a bioceramic essence — basically fermented vegan silk proteins and minerals. $202 for 100ml. The brand claims it feeds your good bacteria so bad bacteria starve. I rolled my eyes but my skin didn’t.
Fermented Soy Amino Acids
Smells like miso soup. Not kidding. Your face will smell like lunch for 30 seconds.
Bioceramic Mineral Complex
Magnesium, zinc, copper — but suspended in a way that actually absorbs, not just sits there.
Lactobacillus Ferment
The probiotic that supposedly tells your skin “calm down, we’re friends.”

It’s basically a fermented probiotic soup with minerals. The hero is the bioceramic delivery — it’s supposed to mimic your skin’s natural electrical charge so bacteria behave. Sounds like pseudoscience until you see the glow.
- Lactobacillus Ferment: Calms inflammation without stripping
- Zinc PCA: Regulates oil without drying you out
- Soy Amino Acids: Plumps the skin matrix over time
- Ceramide NP: Actually seals moisture in, not just hype

Feels like slightly thick water — almost slippery. Absorbs in maybe 8 seconds. No stickiness. I hate tacky toners so this got points immediately.
Week 2: I got a zit. A real one. But it healed in 2 days instead of 5. That’s when I stopped being annoyed at the price tag. Weirdest part — my nose pores look smaller. Didn’t expect that.

Yes — my texture is smoother. No more tiny bumps on my forehead. But my rosacea redness? Same as before. It’s not magic, it’s just really good fermented water.

It’s overpriced but effective — a luxury for reactive skin that can’t handle actives. If your barrier is already fried, this is the gentle fix. If you’re fine, save your cash.
