Dermalogy Real Ferment Micro Essence.

"The winner is the Neogen Dermalogy Real Ferment Micro Essence. Not the toner, the essence. The essence is fragrance-free, the toner has essential oils. And I think this is a two-time, maybe even three-time award winner."

"It's a watery toner. Super light watery texture. No issues at all with that. I love it. Fourth or fifth bottle. That says a lot because so far I've repurchased everyone I've talked about, but some of these I haven't tried enough, and a lot of the other ones I've tried, it's like, well, I use them once and I like it, but it wasn't like, oh, I need to repurchase it. But this was one I'm like, yes, I need to repurchase that."

"The Neogen Dermalogy Real Ferment Micro Essence. I love this stuff. This is probably my third empty bottle. I cannot wait to repurchase it at half off. It's normally 38 bucks on the sale. It's going to be 19 bucks. I'm very excited for this one."

"Here's a nice toner that I really like, the Neogen Dermalogy Real Ferment Micro Essence. I'd do a little pH test on that one here and this one I would say it's probably five exactly. So that is right where we want it."

"Right when I'm done I'm going to use a toner, a nice anti-aging toner. This one is the Neogen Dermalogy Real Ferment Micro Essence."

"It's got saki ferment, which is great for anti-aging. It's got green tea, another great antioxidant. Aspergillus ferment, allantoin, and then it's got 15 plus amino acids. Amino acids are great for barrier repairing. They're great for dry and dehydrated skin. I love this stuff. The essence is a win-win."

"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 bifida 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, I listed five that I love and this one's got three out of five. It also contains a whole list of amino acids, which are great for 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."

"The essence version is great. This product's got a lot of goodies in it. It has no scent to it. It has 93% microbio ferment complex with peptides and all that good stuff in there. I've repurchased this multiple times."

"The Neogen Real Ferment Micro Essence is really wonderful. It's full of amino acids, sake rice ferment, Bifida ferment, Saccharomyces ferment, allantoin, calcium carbonate, sodium hyaluronic acid, and adenosine. It's amazing. This is my repurchase of it, I think I've repurchased it three times now. Be cautious though, because they have a serum version of it which is wonderful, but the essence, I believe the mist version of it has fragrance in it."

"This one's got Bifida ferment, saki ferment obviously we all know saki ferment from SK-II which is ridiculously expensive. The other nice thing in here we've got several amino acids, we've got green tea and adenosine, a cell communicating ingredient. So this stuff is wonderful. I've repurchased it multiple times and I'm never disappointed. The serum is also absolutely amazing, so if you haven't tried the serum version, this one it's also worth checking out in my humble opinion."

"The Neogen Real Ferment Micro Essence, this stuff is great. It's full of peptides and amino acids, it's really nice for your skin. This is probably my fourth or fifth bottle of it, and the fact that I repurchase this says a lot. Most skincare products I purchase once, I test them, I review them. If I like them I'll finish them, if I didn't like them I'll hand it down to somebody to finish. But for me to actually repurchase it multiple times says a lot because I've got so many other things to try, but I keep finding myself coming back to this one. I love it. No scent in it, but if you get the toner version from this brand it has fragrant oil in it. This does not have a scent."

"The Neogen Dermalogy Real Ferment Micro Essence is great. I've repurchased it multiple times. I want to mention this because occasionally people get confused there are several products in this lineup. The essence is great, the serum is great, both those don't have a scent to them. However, if you get the toner or I believe there's also a Mist, those two have fragrance in it and the toner has peppermint oil in it. So sometimes people are confused when I talk about this product and mention that it has no scent and that's fragrance. Feel like no, it has peppermint oil in it. I swear there's two things: the essence and the toner. That's why I've never recommended the toner nor have I ever purchased the toner, but got the essence and I love it."

"Their Real Ferment line is wonderful. Their Real Ferment Micro Essence is great. The essence is great. Some of their products have fragrance in them. It's hit or miss, but the ones that don't have a scent to them are wonderful."

"I also absolutely love the serum version of this. Neogen has done a great job. When I first got into beauty and skincare, Neogen was almost a no-go zone because almost everything they made was too scented for me to use, and now in the last couple of years they've made some really nice fragrance-free options and this is one of them. This essence is really nice. I mean it's got lots of ferment, bioferment complex, amino acids, things like that. It's wonderful."

"I love this stuff. I'm going to keep this bottle though because I think I should be able to get a little funnel and refill it for travel because this was the perfect travel size for me and I love this product and I have a big bottle of it."

"Make sure you get the Neogen Dermalogy Real Ferment Micro Essence, not the toner. They have a toner in this line, but you don't want that one. The toner has peppermint oil in it; the essence does not. It has no scent at all. In here you've got buffita ferment, saccharomyces ferment, sake ferment, green tea, and then a whole ton of amino acids. It's really nice for your skin, great for hydrating and great for barrier repairing. Lots of good ferments in here, which make it absolutely wonderful. It's also worth noting it's more of a serum than a true essence in terms of texture."

"I love the Neogen Dermalogy Real Ferment Micro Essence. The essence version is wonderful. It's a little bit pricey as far as toners go but it's amazing, it's got really good ingredients in it. I'm definitely going to repurchase it. Just make sure you get the essence, not the toner version, the toner has peppermint oil in it, but the essence does not."

"Neogen Real Ferment Micro Essence won favorite fermented skincare product. The reviewer notes the serum version is also wonderful."

"It's still worth it. I actually got this at Ulta during their sale for half off, but I love it. I've repurchased this one. It's probably my fourth or fifth bottle I want to say. So I really do love it. In here we've got the bifida ferment, we've got sake ferment, which are two great anti-aging ingredients and skin protecting ingredients. We have green tea extract. And then we also have several amino acids. This has no fragrance in it. However, if you pick up the Neogen Real Ferment Micro Toner, that has peppermint oil in it. So you want to get the essence, not the toner."

"Next up is the Neogen Dermalogy Real Ferment Micro Essence, not the toner. The toner has peppermint oil in it. The essence has no fragrance in it. The star of the show in this one is Bifida Ferment. This is probably my fifth or sixth bottle of it. I love this stuff. I use it kind of like a toner and kind of like an essence depending on what my needs are. If I feel like using it like a toner with a cotton pad, I will do that. If my skin feels dry and dehydrated, I will just pat it onto skin. Watery texture, absorbs quickly and sets to a natural finish. Feels plumping and seems to help with tone and texture as well. It also contains Saky Ferment, which we all know from the SK-II brand, which became very popular and very expensive. This one has the popularity without the expense. It also has green tea, Saccharomyces ferment, Aspergillus ferment, and then 10 plus amino acids for barrier repairing. Wonderful product. Love it. Neogen has a lot of great stuff. I just absolutely love this."

"The Neogen Dermalogy Real Ferment Micro Essence is really nice because it's super light, watery, but really has wonderful ingredients that help to hydrate, balance, and also fermented ingredients that help to kind of improve texture and tone long term as well. Some people call it like the dupe to SK-II, but essentially it's a fermented essence that's really nice. It has high concentrations, like 28% of various blends of fermented yeast extract that helps to nourish and hydrate the skin, and when I say nourish, it's more adding that hydration back. And then 17% birch juice and 9% rice extract, which we know is great for brightening the skin. What I love is that this is very multifunctional in the sense that you can use it regardless of your skin type, but it's really ideal for oily and combination skin because with the fermentation you get naturally derived moisturizing factors, what we call NMF, what our skin makes naturally to hold on to water. You're also going to get lactic acid from that yeast fermentation, so that's one of the bonuses. And then you've got brightening ingredients that help remove any sort of dullness as well."

"I really like this one because it's got wonderful ingredients and some people even call it like the more affordable alternative to the SK-II fermented essence. But what the name implies, it's got wonderful fermented ingredients and when you ferment ingredients you're getting the brightening benefits often and then the hydrating benefits and often the ingredients are much smaller so they absorb into your skin more readily providing those benefits that we just mentioned. Ingredient wise it's got high concentrations of fermented yeast ingredients including bifidus ferment lysate as well as saccharomyces ferment filtrate that both helps to strengthen your skin barrier, helps to support your skin barrier, improve skin suppleness, plumpness, skin hydration and supporting your skin barrier with the nutrients to help it repair itself overnight. Also has rice ferment that helps to brighten along with birch juice that's calming and hydrating. I really just aside from all the benefits I love the fact that it is just a very much like water and I can just pat my skin, pat it into my skin, absorbs really nicely without having to worry about that it may cause pilling or interaction with the rest of the products I use in the evening."

"This retook inspiration from the SK-II Pitera Essence but brought it to a much wider audience at a much more accessible price point, and in my opinion it's more effective and has a much better ingredient list. We have over 90% bioferments in here, 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 I happily layer. I'll do a very small amount, then another one, and remember the seven skin method? This was my seven skin method essence. I would layer this up, and especially with drier skin, it just adds that hydration instantly back into your skin. You feel smoother, you feel brighter, you look smoother and brighter. And it still exists. I think the first time I mentioned this was like five or six years ago, and there have been viral products that have come and gone. It's been reformulated a couple of times, but it still has the same effect and the same amazing results. It's not a trending product, it's like a fundamental step that fits into any routine and just continues to deliver results, which is why it's still around today."

"I discovered the Neogen Real Ferment Micro Essence with 93% Micro Bioferment Complex. And I was like, this is my favorite one. This is the best one. And that's really because it has that 93% of fermented ingredients, which is what makes essences work. Essences really focused on fermented ingredients and brightening your skin tone and evening the skin tone. And that's what it did. The fermented ingredients, the Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate, focuses on brightening of the skin, it's got anti-aging qualities. It's also soothing, it's moisturizing, it's rich in Amino Acids. This is also the product that really got me into Niacinamide. When my skin was very oily, I would use this alongside Niacinamide and Zinc. And it just controlled my sebum production from going out of control like it used to all the time. I used this daily, twice a day, for years and years. And I really do think it's what kind of balanced my oils and why I still use Niacinamide to this day. And then we have Glycerin, Hyaluronic Acid, all those good things. I've started using this again. I've been using it for two weeks, actually, and a small bottle goes a long way."
