Essence vs Toner

Real Ferment Micro Toner
Think of our already beloved essence but make it gently exfoliating, cleansing, and balancing. This mildly acidic soothing toner formulated with 90% Bio Ferment Complex - to improve and strengthen your skin barrier - and AHA/BHA/PHA/LHA complex to gently yet effectively cleanse away dead skin cells and pick up pore residue left over after cleansing, will leave your skin moist and illuminated one swipe at a time.
On top of that, this toner is not only hydrating but can also help with dullness, uneven skin texture, uneven skin tone, sebum control, sagging skin, and premature aging! A true multitasker

Real Bakuchiol Firming Serum 10%
The newest addition to our skincare family! This firming serum is formulated with Bakuchiol, and in case you're not familiar with it, this plant-based ingredient is known for its powerful anti-aging and firming benefits, and its capability to boost collagen production, the reason why it's known as nature's retinol. But that’s not it! Its formula features an antioxidant multivitamin complex and 5 types of plant extracts - such as azulene, lavender oil, aloe vera leaf extract, tea tree leaf oil, & eggplant extract - to promote skin cell turnover.
