I poured this on my palm and genuinely considered drinking it. Smells like a fancy kombucha bar — tart, fermented, alive.
Everyone’s chasing “glow” like it’s a lost city. Dr. Ceuracle bets fermented tea can find it faster than your standard L-ascorbic acid. Bold move.
It’s a watery essence, not a serum. 150ml for $32. The claim: “brightening and skin barrier repair” — which is beauty-speak for “less dull, less angry.”
Vegan kombucha ferment
Not just green tea. Fermented. That’s the whole gimmick.
Niacinamide (2%)
Brightening workhorse. Not a hero dose, but enough to play nice.
No fragrance
No perfume. It smells like tea because it IS tea. Refreshing honesty.

Four things actually doing the work. The rest is just water and preservatives — which is fine. Not everything needs 47 extracts.
- Kombucha ferment: Probiotic-like glow, mild exfoliation
- Niacinamide: Evens tone, reduces redness
- Hyaluronic acid: Sits on top, not deep — fine for hydration
- Panthenol: Calms irritation from the fermentation

Water. Like, barely thicker than tap water. Absorbs in maybe 8 seconds. No sticky film — just gone. You’ll question if it did anything.
Week 2: My skin looked… rested? Not dramatically brighter, but that “I slept badly” gray was gone. Unexpected win: no breakouts. Fermented stuff usually clogs me. This didn’t.
After 4 weeks: Slight brightness — like I’d been sleeping 7 hours instead of 5. No dark spot fading. No “glass skin.” Just… healthier looking. That’s the truth.
A solid B+. It won’t replace your vitamin C, but it’s a damn good backup for days your skin says “no acids, please.”
