How it works
Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate leads the ingredient panel on this essence. Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate is a yeast ferment filtered clear, the ingredient that made the Korean and Japanese essence category. It carries amino acids, vitamins and organic acids and is used for the look of dullness and rough texture. On this panel it sits alongside Niacinamide and Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Water. Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.

Key actives
Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate
Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate is a yeast ferment filtered clear, the ingredient that made the Korean and Japanese essence category. It carries amino acids, vitamins and organic acids and is used for the look of dullness and rough texture.
Niacinamide
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.
Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Water
Witch hazel distillate, used in place of part of the plain water in a formula. It is much more dilute than the extract, and commercial witch hazel water often carries alcohol.
Where does this formula come from?
It comes from the Korean-market catalog rather than a US-shelf reformulation, and the packaging carries the same Korean-market batch coding a shopper would find on the box in Korea. That sourcing is checked on this row before the page is written, not assumed from the product name. It is the detail worth checking against the box on arrival.
Can I use this alongside other actives in my routine?
Yes. Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate is the lead active here, and it is formulated to sit alongside the rest of a routine rather than replace it. Introduce any new step on its own for the first week or two before adding it next to another strong active, so it is easy to tell which product is responsible for any change. Once it is settled into the routine, it layers the way any other essence in a Korean routine does.
How do I know this is authentic and not a US-reformulated version?
Check the box against the listing: an authentic Korean-market SKU carries Korean-primary packaging and an intact Korean-market batch code, not a US-only relabel. Manyo Factory's Korean-market formulas are sourced specifically to preserve that, rather than substituted for the US-shelf version some retailers carry under the same name.
What does Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate do in this formula?
Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate is a fermentation filtrate long associated with the glass-skin, ferment-forward wave of Korean essences. It is one of the ingredients that popularized fermented essences as a category in Korean skincare. It sits at its own position on this product's own ingredient list rather than being assumed from the product name.
What does Niacinamide do in this formula?
Niacinamide supports an even-looking skin tone and works alongside the formula's humectants to keep the surface comfortable. It is one of the most studied actives in Korean formulation for tone evenness and is gentle enough for daily AM and PM use. It sits at its own position on this product's own ingredient list rather than being assumed from the product name.

How to use
- Use it twice a day after the watery step, on a clean face and before any cream.
- Warm a small amount between the fingertips first, then press it over the cheeks, forehead and chin.
- Give it thirty seconds to settle before the next layer goes on, which is what keeps anything from balling up.
- Avoid applying it to skin that is completely dry after a long gap, since a thin layer spreads much further on damp skin.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on the inner arm first if trying a new brand's formula for the first time.
- Stop use and check the ingredient list against any known sensitivities before continuing.
