My face was literally drinking this stuff by day three. The kind of thirsty where your moisturizer sits on top like a stranger.
It didn’t just hydrate — it stopped the midday tightness I get from my Tretinoin. That’s the real test.
It’s a milky, fermented essence — $48 for 150ml. I bought it because they claimed “7-day plumping for dehydrated skin.” I rolled my eyes. Then ordered.
Fermented Yeast Extract
It’s the star — deeply hydrating without being sticky. Think sake, but for your face.
Tremella Mushroom
Better than hyaluronic acid at holding water, but lighter. No pilling under sunscreen.
Panthenol 2%
Calms redness fast. I had a retinol flake situation — this fixed it in two days.

No fragrance. No alcohol. Just smart fermentation and mushroom extracts. It’s like Korean skincare science met a minimalist budget.
- Fermented Yeast: Deep hydration + barrier repair
- Tremella Mushroom: Holds 500x its weight in water, zero stick
- Panthenol: Soothes irritation instantly
- Glycerin: Classic humectant, works with everything

Thin like water but feels slightly slippery — absorbs in 15 seconds flat. No film, no tackiness. I patted three layers on one night just to see. My skin looked… drunk. In a good way.
Week two: I stopped needing my heavy night cream. That never happens. The surprise? It actually calmed my jawline acne, not just dryness.

Fine lines looked smoother by day 4. Pores? Same. But my skin stopped feeling like parchment. That’s a win.

It’s a hydration workhorse that actually delivers on the 7-day promise. Just don’t expect a facelift in a bottle — it’s smarter than that.
