Product details

First-step ferment essence

A featherlight, watery first essence made with a 94% fermented complex to hydrate, smooth and brighten dull, dry skin.

Purito Seoul’s Fermented Complex 94 is the first step after cleansing: a watery essence that melts straight in and helps the rest of your routine absorb. Lactobacillus rice ferment leads the formula, joined by bifida ferment, green tea, mulberry and lotus, to restore skin’s water and oil balance, refine texture and calm dry, sensitive skin.
