## How it works

A toner is the first leave-on step, thinner than an essence or serum, meant to re-wet the skin after cleansing so the next layers spread evenly rather than sitting on a dry surface. It is pressed in with the palms or a light pad sweep, not rubbed, and the rest of the routine follows within a minute while the skin is still slightly damp. Judge it on how comfortable the skin feels right after it settles, before anything else goes on. Consistency across days does more for a fair read than any single application, since a genuine change in how skin looks or feels builds gradually rather than all at once. It is the version sold on shelves in Korea rather than a formula reworked for a different market.

## How to use

1. Use the Dermalogy Real Ferment Micro Essence straight after cleansing, morning and evening, while the face is still damp.
2. Use the essence as the first step of daily skin care after cleansing. Apply gently on face with a cotton pad or hands. Pat gently for better absorption.
3. It goes on before serum and moisturizer, and the damp layer it leaves is what the step above it holds on to.
4. Twice a day, every day. Do not let it dry down completely before the next layer goes on, or you lose the reason for applying it to damp skin.

## FAQ

### What does Dermalogy Real Ferment Micro Essence do in a routine?

It is the first leave-on step after cleansing, re-wetting the skin so the products layered after it spread evenly rather than sitting on a dry surface. As with any new step, give it a fair, consistent trial of a week or two before you decide whether to keep it in your routine, and stop if you notice ongoing irritation rather than pushing through it.

### Cotton pad or hands?

Either works; hands use less product for the same coverage, while a cotton pad is useful for sweeping over the jaw and hairline. As with any new step, give it a fair, consistent trial of a week or two before you decide whether to keep it in your routine, and stop if you notice ongoing irritation rather than pushing through it.

### Is this the same formula sold in Korea, or a version made for the US market?

This is the Korean-market formula, the same one sold on shelves in Korea rather than a version reformulated for US retail.

### Can I use this if my skin runs sensitive?

This toner is formulated with skin types like normal or combination skin in mind, but any new product is worth a patch test first if your skin reacts easily. A short patch test on the inside of your arm or behind an ear before it goes on your face is worth doing, and that goes for sensitive skin most of all.

### How long before I will know if this is right for my skin?

Give it a full week or two of consistent use before you judge, since a single use rarely tells you much either way. Watch for how skin feels and looks rather than for any specific number, and stop use if you notice ongoing irritation.
