## Description

Then I Met You The Giving Essence, Vegan, Cruelty-Free Korean Skincare with 5% Niacinamide, Fermented Galactomyces, Red Algae & Berries for Brightening & Hydration, Suitable for All Skin Types, 5.07oz

## Features

- NATURALLY FERMENTED INGREDIENTS TO NOURISH AND CALM SKIN: Infused with 78% galactomyces ferment filtrate, a derivative of fermented sake with proven skincare benefits, this essence helps calm inflammation, lock in moisture, and support healthy, hydrated skin; it works to restore balance and improve texture for a visibly plump and revitalized complexion.
- BRIGHTENS AND EVENS SKIN TONE WITH 5% NIACINAMIDE: This carefully balanced concentration of niacinamide helps reduce dullness, fade uneven tone, and promote a luminous, radiant glow; it strengthens the skin barrier while enhancing overall clarity and luminosity for a brighter, more youthful appearance. Studies show that a 5% concentration of this potent ingredient is the optimal amount to see real, skin-brightening results.
- ANTIOXIDANT-RICH BLEND TO PROTECT AND REVITALIZE: Red algae, antioxidant-rich berries like black chokeberry, ellagic acid, and polyglutamic acid work together to shield skin from environmental stress, boost elasticity, and restore vitality; these potent botanicals reveal a refreshed, glowing complexion while supporting long-term skin health. Black chokeberry has one of the highest recorded antioxidant contents of any fruit or berry, and contributes to skin youth and radiance. Polyphenols in black chokeberry provide anti-aging and skin calming properties, treating UV-exposed skin.
- ENHANCES YOUR DAILY SKINCARE RITUAL: Apply after directly after cleansing with the Living Cleansing Balm and Soothing Tea Cleansing Gel or after exfoliating and prepping skin with Birch Milk Refining Toner to deeply hydrate & brighten skin, while maximizing absorption and the benefits of serums, masks, creams, or moisturizers as follow up steps; each application delivers hydration, brightening, and antioxidant protection in a silky, luxurious experience.
- AWARD-WINNING KOREAN SKINCARE ESSENCE FOR RADIANT, HYDRATED SKIN: Winner of the 2021 Soko Glam Best of K-Beauty Award and Editor’s Pick by Bustle; this vegan, cruelty-free essence is crafted without mineral oil, alcohol, silicones, parabens, synthetic fragrances, or artificial coloring; it reflects a clean beauty standard suitable for all skin types.

Alone or with other skin flooding products, this essence is a winner. Soothing, light natural scent, hydrating, and makes skin glow naturally. I put this product in a spray bottle and love it more! I have dry, sensitive, rocesea skin and have had no problems for weeks of use! One of the more expensive essences/ toners I use but worth it!
