Skin-conditioningReviews
Pros
- Often described as a K-beauty staple 'first step' fermented essence, sometimes compared to SK-II Treatment Essence
- Some users report improved skin tone, texture, and moisture within about two weeks of regular use
- May suit users seeking a fragrance-free, lightweight essence built around a high concentration of yeast ferment extract and niacinamide
Cons
- Some longtime users report the product line has been reformulated across several generations (First Treatment Essence -> Intensive -> 5X -> Enriched), causing confusion about which generation a review or claim refers to
- Some users report mild initial tingling with ferment-heavy formulas before skin adjusts
