Time Revolution First Treatment Essence.

"This was one of the second products I ever got into when I got into K-beauty: the Missha Time Revolution First Treatment Essence. It's about 23 bucks, so it's pretty affordable, and the bottle is 150 milliliters. It also contains saccharomyces ferment, niacinamide, adenosine, and a ceramide in there. You can pat it on or put it on with the toner, whatever you prefer. My second big brand I got into was Missha, and I really got into their essences and their Time Revolution ampule, which I think is now on its third incarnation and they've changed things over time. No scent, really affordable, lots of good ingredients in there, and it really fits into any routine easily."

"It had their version of that star ingredient, fermented yeast extract, specifically saccharomyces ferment filtrate, which is also rich in amino acids, vitamins, and minerals that help brighten, hydrate, and support skin turnover. It would just make your skin look so refreshed when you use this consistently, and today it still works. It's still a great product, helping with texture, hydration, prep. It feels like it preps your skin for other actives. But it's no longer the only option. Essences have kind of taken over, and that key ingredient is kind of just a given now. Saccharomyces ferment filtrate or alternatives and usually as effective options are just commonplace in our essences and even toners nowadays. Serums, people are looking for probiotics, peptides, barrier repair in a similar format. And I also feel like people just don't feel like it's an essential anymore."
