Updated August 18, 2026
Galactomyces essence hydrates skin deeply and subtly exfoliates; some get irritation.
What the community says
A watery essence with galactomyces ferment for hydration and gentle exfoliation. It's a longtime favorite in Asian skincare circles but can cause bumpy texture or irritation, especially for sensitive skin. Requires consistent use for visible results, YMMV on skin barrier repair.
