Kombucha Fermented Essence, First Step After Toner
This is a first essence designed to be used right after cleansing and toning. It has a bi-phase formula with a cream layer and a water layer, so give the bottle a gentle shake before use to mix them together. It combines the absorption of a toner, the nourishment of an essence, and the moisture of a cream in one bottle, streamlining your routine.
A Daily Essence for Morning and Evening
There are no ingredients that require time-of-day restrictions, so you can use it in both your morning and evening routines. In the morning, it works as a hydrating base before makeup. In the evening, it replenishes skin that's been stressed throughout the day.
Adjust Layering Based on Your Skin Type
Dispense an appropriate amount into your palm, gently spread it across your face, and let it absorb. Adjusting the number of layers based on your skin type can enhance results.
- Oily skin: One layer for a lightweight finish
- Normal skin: Two layers to maintain deep hydration
- Dry skin: Three or more layers for a plush, moisture-rich feel
Routine Combinations by Skin Concern
If your oil-moisture balance is off and you're experiencing both shine and tightness, use this essence to restore the 15:85 oil-to-water ratio. If dullness is your concern, pair it with a tone-evening product. If dryness is severe, follow with a moisturizing cream to lock in hydration.
Storage and Usage Notes
We recommend using within one year after opening, and store in a cool place away from direct sunlight. There are no artificial fragrances, so you may notice a subtle natural scent from the tea ingredients. While the product received a non-irritating rating in a skin patch test, pregnant women and infants are in a sensitive period, so we recommend consulting a healthcare professional before use.
