What Are Fermented Ingredients in Skincare?
Fermented ingredients are natural components, like plants and yeast, that go through a fermentation process. During this process, the ingredients break down into smaller molecules, which makes them easier for your skin to absorb. This also enhances their potency, making them more effective at delivering hydration, nutrients, and antioxidants to your skin.
The result? A boost in skin health and a more radiant, youthful complexion.
Real-life example - One of our customers switched to MISSHA Time Revolution The First Treatment Essence 5X, which is packed with fermented yeast extract. Within a week, she noticed her skin felt smoother and looked more radiant, with that coveted K-beauty glow.
The Benefits of Fermented Ingredients
Fermented ingredients offer multiple skincare benefits, making them perfect for anyone looking to hydrate, brighten, or fight aging.
Enhanced Hydration - Fermented ingredients improve moisture retention, helping your skin stay hydrated for longer. A product like the HARUHARU WONDER Black Rice Hyaluronic Toner works wonders by locking in moisture and giving your skin that dewy, plump look.
Anti-Aging - Fermentation helps boost collagen production, which improves skin elasticity and reduces the appearance of fine lines. Try the PYUNKANG YUL Black Tea Boosting Serum for an anti-aging boost—it helps firm the skin while delivering nutrients that support collagen production.
Brightening & Evening Skin Tone - Fermented ingredients like rice water or ginseng become even more effective at evening out skin tone and brightening dull complexions through the fermentation process.
Real-life example - A customer who started using the DR. CEURACLE Vegan Kombucha Tea Essence shared how her skin felt more hydrated and brighter after just a couple of weeks, describing the results as a “lit-from-within” glow that was hard to achieve before.
Ready to add fermented ingredients to your routine? Whether you’re looking for deeper hydration, anti-aging benefits, or brighter skin, fermented products can easily be worked into your existing regimen.
Essences - Start with an essence like MISSHA Time Revolution The First Treatment Essence 5X after cleansing. It preps your skin for the rest of your routine, making it easier for other products to absorb and work their magic.
Serums - A fermented serum, such as the PYUNKANG YUL Black Tea Boosting Serum, is perfect for anyone looking to add anti-aging benefits. It helps improve skin texture and firmness while giving you a healthy glow.
Moisturizers - For deep hydration, the DR. CEURACLE Vegan Kombucha Tea Gel Cream is an excellent choice. It nourishes and hydrates the skin with antioxidant-rich fermented tea, leaving your skin feeling refreshed and plump.
Real-life example - One of our customer shared that her dry skin transformed when she began layering the PYUNKANG YUL Nutrition Cream over a fermented essence. Her skin stayed hydrated all day and looked smoother after just a few weeks.
