I slapped this on at 11 PM after a crying jag over a breakup text. Woke up at 7 AM looking like I’d had 10 hours of sleep and a $200 facial.
That’s the thing about Missha — they figured out how to bottle the fancy stuff without the markup. My skin looked airbrushed. No joke.
It’s a night ampoule — think concentrated serum, not a moisturizer. $28 for 1.7 oz. The claim: overnight repair via probiotics and fermented yeast. I bought it because I’m cheap and desperate.
Probio™ Complex
Fermented bifida — the same strain in Estée Lauder’s Advanced Night Repair, just less expensive
Niacinamide (4%)
Brightens dark spots without the sting of a vitamin C serum
Squalane
Locks everything in without clogging my oily T-zone

One pump has more active ingredients than my entire previous routine. The fermented yeast works like a gentle acid — exfoliates while it hydrates. Weird but effective.
- Bifida Ferment Lysate: Strengthens moisture barrier overnight
- Niacinamide: Fades leftover acne marks in 2 weeks
- Squalane: Lightweight hydration that won’t break you out
- Adenosine: Anti-aging without the irritation of retinol

Feels like watery honey — thin enough to drip off your finger, but sinks in within 15 seconds. No sticky film. No fragrance. My boyfriend asked if I was “glowing or just sweaty” — that’s the texture.
Week 3: My skin stopped producing enough oil to fry an egg. That never happens. The downside? If you’re dry, you’ll still need a moisturizer on top.

My fine lines softened. My acne scars faded maybe 30%. But my pores didn’t shrink — that’s a lie brands sell. It’s a glow serum, not a miracle worker.

Buy it if you want to look well-rested without actually sleeping. It’s not a luxury experience — it’s a drugstore steal that actually works.
