"The Neoen Real Ferment Micro Essence is really nice because it's super light, watery, but really has wonderful ingredients that helps to hydrate, balance, and also fermented ingredients that helps to kind of improve texture and tone long term as well. It's a fermented essence with high concentrations like 28% of fermented various blends of fermented yeast extract that helps to nourish and hydrate the skin, and then 17% birch juice and 9% rice extract that we know is great for brightening the skin. What I love is that this is very multifunctional in the sense you can use it regardless of your skin type, but it's really ideal for oily combination skin because with the fermentation there's naturally derived moisturizing factors, what our skin makes naturally to hold on water. In this fermented extract, you're going to get that, and you're going to get your lactic acid from that yeast fermentation. You got brightening ingredients that helps you remove maybe any sort of dullness."

"The winner is the Neoen Real Ferment Micro Essence. Not the toner, the essence. The essence is fragrance-free. I think this is a two-time, maybe even three time award winner."

"This one I repurchased I believe this is my third bottle might be my fourth. In my opinion it's great for all skin types. It's got Buida ferment which is that soothing and hydrating ferment, Saccharomyces ferment and then also rice ferment so it's got three of the ones I love the most. It also contains a whole list of amino acids which are great for skin repairing as well. Love love love this stuff. I also love the serum version of this and I've repurchased that multiple times as well."

"It retook inspiration from the SK-II Petaira essence but brought it to a much wider audience at a much more accessible price point and in my opinion more effective and with a much better ingredient list. We have over 90% bioferments in here like bifida ferment lysate, rice ferment, and saccharomyces. All designed to hydrate and help strengthen your skin barrier. This absorbs so quickly into the skin. Your skin is bouncy, dewy, looks plump and feels plump as well. This is an essence that I happily layer. I would do like a very small little amount, then another one. This was my seven skin method essence. I would layer this up and especially with thinner or kind of drier skin, this just adds that hydration instantly back into your skin. You feel smoother, you feel brighter, you look smoother and brighter. The first time I mentioned this was like five or six years ago and there have been viral products that have come and gone. I think it's been reformulated a couple times, but it still has the same effect and the same amazing results. This is a fundamental step that fits into any routine and just continues to deliver results, which is why it's still around today."
