Vegan Kombucha Tea Essence.

"Dr. Cerakle Vegan Kombucha Tea Essence. This is a 10 out of 10. This is a longtime holy grail. [...] I've been using this pretty consistently since about 2021 or 2022. [...] This is a biphasic essence where there's a tea portion that's really watery and hydrating and then a cream portion based with sunflower seed oil that's very creamy and very rich. You mix it together and you get this watery but moisturizing essence. [...] It's really balancing, particularly for combo skin, right dry U zone and kind of oily T-zone. I find the fermented tea in here to be great for reducing redness and can be great if I'm getting any irritated breakouts, just kind of taking down the inflammation and the redness. But even when my complexion just looks a little bit dull, all of the great compounds in the tea that get super boosted from the fermented process really help bring a lot more vitality back into my complexion when my skin looks dull or uneven. So not only is this balancing for combo skin, but there's some really great complexion benefits for it as well. That's the reason why I keep consistently coming back to this product time and time again. Definitely holy grail status, 10 out of 10."

"When I use this essence, it actually brings out and teases out this gorgeous healthy glow to my skin. [...] It's about quality and that just influences everything when it comes to your complexion and when it comes to your skin. The tea portion is really watery and hydrating. The creamy essence [...] is thicker, and [...] the base is sunflower seed oil, which is very hydrating but also moisturizing, skin softening, and very nourishing for the skin. It's so fun to actually mix these two together before you apply it. What is so unique about this is that it does have that runny kind of texture once it's mixed together. It's not thick, it's not heavy, but there is this richness running through it with the cream. [...] It's silky, it's luxurious, it's rich. There is oil content here, and it's not watery. There is [...] a little bit more body to this richness in this essence. It's not quite as light."

"It's still a longtime favorite and I [...] absolutely adore this. The essence here is so good for my combo skin. We've got that watery tea portion with the fermented kombucha which really helps to give your skin all those little micronutrients that help it glow, that healthy lit from within glow and that glowing healthy vitality to the skin. [...] It's also a great anti-inflammatory ingredient. It definitely helps to reduce redness on the skin whenever I'm using this, especially the natural redness that I can get on my skin, especially with sensitive skin and especially with [...] dryness in the colder months, especially around the nose. This really helps to decrease that. If I have some active acne, it definitely helps to calm that down as well. The creamy portion here is made out of sunflower seed oil and it is so incredibly nourishing for the skin. Because it is [...] the two-phase essence that you mix together and it emulsifies, you get all that richness without the heaviness of a traditional cream textured product. [...] It's lighter, it's more elegant, it's better absorbed into the skin, but you get the silkiness, the richness, the nourishment, the comfort."

"This is the Dr. Cerakle vegan kombucha tea essence, which really has not fallen out of my restock routines and my repurchasing [...] since 2021 because it's a two-phase essence. You actually get to mix these two portions together. It's like putting cream into your coffee or into your tea. So it's really fun to mix them together. But because you're mixing these two qualities together, what you get is an essence that is watery, hydrating, quickly absorbed in nature, but it still has that creamy kiss to it, a silky quality to it, that moisturization that really softens and conditions your skin. So while it's watery and quickly absorbed, you get that burst of hydration deep within the skin. This is surprisingly very hydrating for the skin. For that creamy portion that looks very thick, it actually does dive in deep and replenishes the skin in a really beautiful manner. But then that creamy silkiness just absorbs into the top layer of the skin, softens it, conditions it, makes it so incredibly smooth, but that little kiss of moisture also hugs in that hydration. I also find when I'm using this, my skin just looks healthier."

"I've been raving about this product now for four years, I think I started using this in 2021. [...] We have this tea layer with fermented kombucha and black tea in here, and that is a beautiful source of antioxidants which can be very helpful. [...] Tea can also be very brightening for the skin. It always brings out a very healthy glow to my skin. It has a lot of amino acids that help with skin hydration. Just overall it's one of those ingredients that just makes your skin look so good and feel so good as well. It also reduces redness and inflammation and can be helpful when you're breaking out [...] and having some sensitivity on top of that. Then we have this creamy layer that's made up mostly of sunflower seed oil, which is particularly good for your skin barrier but it's also great for nourishing the skin, softening and conditioning the skin, addressing any dryness. [...] Because it's in equal amounts and [...] you get to mix the two layers together, [...] it creates this creamy texture that's still fluidy, that's still hydrating."
