How it works
Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate is the first ingredient, ahead of water, so the fluid phase of this cream is a ferment filtrate instead of plain water with extracts added to it. Niacinamide sits tenth, with Panthenol above it and Adenosine further down. The lipid side is Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride with two hydrogenated hydrocarbons over a fatty-alcohol and Olivate emulsifier system, which is what makes the texture a cream instead of a gel while keeping it light enough for skin that already makes oil. Ceramide NP, Camellia Japonica Seed Oil and Linoleic Acid sit near the end, and five Lactobacillus ferments plus a black tea ferment close the list.
Key benefits
- Finishing cream for the last step of a routine
- Cushioning texture that sits over serum without pilling

How to use
- Use it as the final leave on step, once anything thinner has settled.
- Press a thin layer over the whole face rather than dotting it only on marked areas.
- Add a second thin layer where the skin feels tight instead of one heavy coat.
- Do not skip the oilier areas, since a calming step is about comfort rather than oil control.

Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.
