NEOGEN Dermalogy Real Ferment Micro Essence - 93% Fermented First Essence Toner with Bifida & Sake Rice for a Dewy, Glass-Skin Glow, Hydrating Korean Skincare, Korean Skin Care 5.07 oz (150ml)

I’ve been using it for about a month now, and while the results haven’t been instant, I’ve started to notice some positive changes in my skin. My skin feels more hydrated, softer, and overall healthier. It’s not a miracle product that transforms your skin overnight, but it’s definitely a great addition to a consistent skincare routine. I’ve been pairing this essence with a good serum and moisturizer, which I think helps maximize its effects. It absorbs well and feels lightweight, making it easy to layer with other products. My plan is to continue using it for at least a year to see if the long-term benefits truly live up to the hype. A friend of mine has been using a similar product from another brand for years, and her skin has improved dramatically over time. That’s enough inspiration for me to stick with it!

Staple in my skincare routine. I use it first after cleansing. No skin irritation, absorbs quickly it’s not really hydrating but I use it mainly for the amazing quality of ingredients. Everything I do after provides hydration. Doesn’t leave a glow. I had really reactive sensitive skin. These ingredients have toughened up skin which, is the goal of this type of product. I’m on my fourth bottle and have been using it around 8 months. This combined with the serum version have really made a difference in the appearance of my skin.

I got this because people said it was somewhat similar to SKII. For me- this is what I rebuy (In this economy- SKII... not happening). The price is good and with all the other steps of my skincare routine this works great. The essence brightens my face, helps even complexion, and gives a decent amount of lightweight moisture. If I skip days of using this, I notice.

Good ingredients, and good product from what I can see after using twice, and seems to have made skin softer, and menopausal acne less red on chin area, when using with red light therapy. Would have preferred a spray. I had NeoGen Plasma Skin Regeneration (PSR) 4 months ago and have struggled with acne since, so turned to this brand, and am optimistic as so far so good. Will update after a week. When I say soft, I mean soft!! After a week, can not tell it has made a lot of difference with clearing up of redness from menopausal acne, but does make skin moisturized if what you are only looking for. Imo not worth the price point.

I’ve been a skincare junkie for about for years now, and I’ve tried a lot of different essences including the now trending sk-ii essence. This one works just as well, and is a fraction of the cost. Of all the essences I’ve tried- this is the only one I keep coming back to. The hydration provided penetrates into the deepest layers of the skin, and it’s gentle enough to use repeatedly. It’s thin and lightweight which I like in an essence. You don’t want to apply a thick layer of product on at the beginning of your skincare routine as thicker products can often inhibit the absorption of other, more potent actives such as serums or moisturisers. Other essences I’ve used work well at first but continuous use becomes irritating for my skin. It’s also fragrance free which is always a plus in my book! Edit: October 2025 and it’s still a staple y’all.

I am 40 years old with cystic hormonal acne, eczema, and combination skin. I use both the serum and liquid 2x per day. Both of these add moisture deep into the skin without irritating acne or other skin conditions. They also fade marks from past acne fast. I am rarely getting acne at this point, because I see a dermatologist in conjunction with good skincare. I use cetephil gentle cleanser, NEOGEN essence, NEOGEN serum, Stella & Grace hyaluronic acid serum, Dermosome Collagen, perscription Retin-A, and either Cerave Night Cream or Colorscience Sunscreen - depending on night or day. This is an amazing product. I made the switch from SK-II to this line about 9 months ago. No regrets, even for skin is starting get fine lines when I smile and make other facial expressions. I don't have fine lines when my face is relaxed. Part of that is good skin care. Do yourself a favor and buy this stuff. It is an amazing value. I highly recommend, and will continue to buy.

Neogen and its products have revolutionized skin care and brought even more attention to K-Beauty. I've been seriously caring for my skin since I was about 21, I'm now about to be 44. I've suffered with terrible acne, sun damage and scars. Needless to say I knew I had to get my s@#$ together when It came to my skin early on in life. I research..... like a hound. For clean products that do not fool the client with b.s or fancy packaging specifically extra ingredients that either harm your skin or do absolutely nothing for it. And, NO, skin care does not have to cost a fortune! This essence has become a staple in my skin care routine, its wonderfully hydrating, unscented, no b.s! You can layer with heavier moisturizers during the winter or if you have dry skin. In the hot summer you can apply this and sunblock and you are good to go! I even use it on my teenager as part of eczema facial treatment. If you are familiar with SKII, this Neogen essence blows it out of the water.

I made a mistake by ordering the 90% essence which came in a plastic bottle now I realize there’s a 93% Essence- which this one is and comes in the GLASS bottle (which is what I had previously ran out of). This essence is amazing it rivals any tonic/essence out there even the big branded one that cost well over $100 this stuff is gold. my skin loves it in the winter in the summer all season round it’s so ligh and fragrance free. Obviously I splash it on my face no cotton ball needed just a splash in your palm and on to the skin. I do my arms, chest and neck. This essence is essential for me in my day and night routine. - fragrance free - brightens - glass bottle - hydrates - glowing skin
