What the gurus are saying

Gurus consistently praise this essence for strong hydration and anti-inflammatory benefits, particularly its ability to calm redness and deliver a dewy glow. The fermented ingredients and tea are highlighted as effective for barrier repair and skin nourishment. The main caveat: some found it greasy initially but liked it better as an evening treatment, so texture preference may shift with application timing or skin routine placement.

"I'm pretty well known for adoring this product since 2021. I love this so so much. It is still something that shows up at least in one routine every single year. I really, really love this essence. It is everything I want an essence to be. I'm looking for hydration, and this definitely has it. The hydrating portion is packed with fermented tea, lots of antioxidant content, lots of polyphenols, great for well-aging concerns. It is really anti-inflammatory and calming for the skin, reducing redness on the skin as well and just everything in there that just promotes that lit from within kind of a glow. I also like essences to have a little bit of a thicker texture than my hydrating toner really to lock in hydration to kind of balance out my skin. I have combination skin prone to dehydration and so that cream portion to this essence really does the trick."

"This is a bifacial product with two layers separated in the bottle. The star ingredient here is a saccharomyces ferment, which is a really beautiful fermented ingredient that really helps with the health of the skin. This has been combined with tea, and that's where we get the fermented tea, the kombucha element to this. Fermenting an ingredient really unlocks a lot of the vitamins and minerals and what I like to call skin nutrition. It really helps to support a healthy microbiome and it really supports healthy skin. It can help with the hydrating content of the ingredient, it can increase the amino acids, it can just do so much. It also helps it sink into the skin a little bit deeper, so if you have deep dehydration, sometimes those fermented ingredients can deliver hydration kind of to the source of that tightness and itchiness within your skin. I also find tea to be a really great ingredient if you have some redness on your skin. It just seems to have a natural anti-inflammatory benefit that seems to bring out that healthy lit from within."

"I love this because it is so nourishing and silky and moisturizing for my skin but in this lighter format. The tea also helps to reduce redness and it really is going to help with that little pimple that I have right under my eye just to take down some of the redness."

"The Dr. Ceuracle Vegan Kombucha Tea Essence at 26 bucks is really hydrating. It's very similar in my opinion to the Mary and May Idon Blackberry Complex Essence in terms of texture and hydration benefits. In the Dr. Ceuracle we've got green tea, we've got saccharomyces ferment, we've got centella, we've got fig. It's really hydrating and it's really good at repairing the barrier and hydrating skin. There are a lot of people who found it too greasy at first and then ended up using it in their evening routine and found they really like it. So if you didn't like it at first, I'd recommend giving it a second chance."

"This is like holy grail status for me. It's the Dr. Ceuracle Vegan Kombucha Tea Essence. It's a bi-phase formula, meaning it has two different phases in the formula. It has soothing ingredients like chamomile and anise in it. The texture is really nice and soothing. It is a toner for your skin or like an essence, but it also slightly just very slightly moisturizes your skin. I like to put this on right before I do an LED mask because I can't just go from cleansing my skin and letting it dry out to using an LED mask, but I do like to use my toners first."
