Wearing this thick cream under sunscreen is how you end up looking like a glazed donut by 10 AM. I did it. I regretted it.
This is a night cream that’s been gaslighting you into thinking it’s a day moisturizer. The texture is too rich for AM—it sits there, waiting to pill the second your SPF touches it.
Dr. Ceuracle calls this a “vegan cream” but it’s really a fermented hydration bomb. $32 for 80ml. The claim? Kombucha extract to “balance” your skin.
Bouncy Gel-Cream Base
Feels like pudding, but not the lightweight kind—the kind that leaves a film.
Vegan Ceramide Complex
It’s there for barrier repair, but it’s too heavy for daytime wear.
Fermented Yeast Extract
The star, but it works best when your skin is in repair mode—AKA nighttime.

It’s the kombucha ferment that does the heavy lifting. That stuff is 90% hydration, 10% exfoliation—perfect for overnight recovery, terrible for morning makeup prep.
- Kombucha Ferment: Softens texture while you sleep
- Niacinamide: Brightens, but can feel tacky under makeup
- Squalane: Locks it all in—too well for AM
- Panthenol: Calms redness, better at night

It has a “slip” that feels luxurious for 30 seconds, then turns into a sticky hold. You know that feeling? Like your face is a magnet for every bit of dust in your apartment.
Week 2: I switched to only using it at night. Woke up with that “glass skin” look minus the grease. Surprised me—I thought the stickiness was a flaw, but it’s just a sign this isn’t a daytime product.

My skin is calmer—less red around my nose—and my morning texture is smoother. But my SPF still slid off my face when I tried AM use. No miracles, just hydration.
Use it PM, always. Your SPF will thank you, and your morning skin won’t look like a snack wrapper. Just don’t let it near your morning routine.
