Key Ingredients

Bifida Ferment Lysate

A postbiotic ingredient made by fermenting bifida bacteria — the nutrient-rich byproduct supports skin barrier resilience and moisture retention. One of two ferment bases in this serum. Bifida lysate is rich in amino acids, vitamins, and minerals that help skin maintain resilience.

Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate

A yeast ferment filtrate — famous from SK-II's Pitera — associated with brighter, more even-toned skin over time. Contains a complex of organic acids, vitamins, and amino acids produced during yeast fermentation. The filtrate is the liquid left after removing the yeast cells.

Bakuchiol

A plant-derived ingredient (from Psoralea corylifolia seeds) studied as a gentler alternative to retinol — similar visible results without the irritation risk. Clinical studies have compared bakuchiol to 0.5% retinol, finding comparable improvements in the appearance of fine lines and pigmentation with significantly less irritation.

Niacinamide

Vitamin B3 — widely studied for tone evening, barrier support, and sebum balance. One of skincare's most versatile actives. In this serum, it pairs with kojic acid for enhanced brightening and pore-refining effects.

Kojic Acid

A natural byproduct of fermentation — one of the most studied brightening ingredients, known for visible tone-evening effects. Works through a different pathway than niacinamide, making the combination more effective than either ingredient alone for tone evenness.

Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5)

Pro-vitamin B5 — a humectant that supports skin hydration and the feeling of skin comfort. Draws water into the skin and supports the barrier. One of the most well-tolerated hydrating ingredients across all skin types.

Squalane

A lightweight, stable emollient that mimics skin's natural lipids — locks in moisture without heaviness or pore-clogging. Hydrogenated squalene — the stable, non-oxidizing form. Integrates into the skin's lipid layer and reinforces the moisture barrier.
