How it works

An essence is the hydrating step between toner and serum, and at 200ml this is the large-format kind meant for daily layering rather than occasional use. Its distinguishing ingredient is Botrytis Cinerea/Grape Fruit Ferment Extract, fourth on its own list, the noble-rot ferment the product is named for. Chondrus Crispus Extract, a red-algae polysaccharide, and Sodium Hyaluronate carry the water-binding, with Panthenol and Adenosine for comfort and smoothing. The finish is watery rather than tacky, so it layers under a serum and cream without pilling.

Key benefits

  • Treatment-step essence layered between toner and moisturizer
  • Botrytis Cinerea/Grape Fruit Ferment Extract as the named ingredient
  • Chondrus Crispus Extract and Sodium Hyaluronate for water-binding

Key actives

PanthenolIngredient #7 of 17 on the manufacturer's own ingredient list

Panthenol is a humectant and barrier-support ingredient found across nearly every Korean moisturizer and toner. Its position on the list reflects its share of the formula relative to the other named ingredients, not a stated percentage.

AdenosineIngredient #12 of 17 on the manufacturer's own ingredient list

Adenosine is a Korean-formula wrinkle-care ingredient, one of the few actives South Korea's own cosmetic regulations recognize as a functional ingredient. Its position on the list reflects its share of the formula relative to the other named ingredients, not a stated percentage.

How to use

  1. Pour a coin sized pool into your palm rather than onto a cotton pad, which soaks up most of it.
  2. Pat one thin layer over the whole face, then add a second while the first is still damp.
  3. Follow within a minute with your serum, since the benefit is in the damp surface.
  4. Do not wait for it to dry fully, because a dry surface undoes the point of the step.
