COSRX Galactomyces 95 Tone Balancing Essence
🌟 COSRX Galactomyces 95 Tone Balancing Essence
Â
This essence is designed to achieve a bright, clear, and uniform complexion by harnessing the power of fermented ingredients. It's a favorite for tackling dullness and textural issues.
Â
Product Overview & Key Features
Â
-
High Galactomyces Content: The star ingredient is 95% Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate. This is a nutrient-dense yeast-derived ingredient (similar to the one in SK-II's famous Pitera) that is excellent for brightening dull skin, reducing hyperpigmentation, and visibly refining the skin's texture and tone.
-
Tone Balancing and Radiance: Galactomyces works by improving cell turnover and delivering powerful antioxidants, which results in a reduction of dark spots and a noticeable increase in overall skin luminosity and clarity.
-
Intense Hydration: The essence is packed with hydrating components, ensuring that the skin remains plump, dewy, and moisturized, which contributes directly to a healthier-looking 'glow'.
-
Lightweight and Absorbent: The texture is light and watery, allowing it to penetrate quickly into the skin as a "first step" essence or a treatment step right after toning.
