 I only gave this 4 stars for 2 reaons. Firstlt, I have very reactive skin and so the fermented ingredients caused me to get some bumps on my forehead. But that’s a me issue! Secondly, I also have the serum version of this, and for some reason I found myself reaching for the serum more. Maybe it’s because of the serum’s fun texture?

The essence and serum feature Neogen’s Micro Bio Ferment Complex, which is a combination of ferments (Bfida ferment lysate, Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate, Betula Alba Juice, Rice Ferment Filtrate and Aspergillis ferment) that claim to brighten, moisturize and plump the skin.

The essence is a first essence, meaning it is to be applied after cleansing and before toner in order to prep the skin for the next steps in your routine. This is a beauty to apply. The texture is very runny and watery, and it absorbs immediately. My skin instantly feels hydrated and plump. With a 93% concentration of the Micro Bio Ferment Complex, you’re getting a very potent blend of amazing ingredients.

My mom told me that my skin was “so white” within a few days of using these products. I was amazed by how fast I saw results. My skin was brighter, more even, smoother and plumper!! Overall, I HIGHLY recommend!!

My only complaint is the fragrance! It has lavendar oil and I find the scent to be a little too much sometimes. But it doesn’t stop me from enjoying the product!

I received this product for free from Picky and Dr. Ceuracle in exchange for my honest review. I LOVE this moisturizer. I have sensitive combination skin, so I tend to be really picky about my moisturizers. This is a little heavier than your typical gel cream, but it delivers just the perfect amount of hydration and moisturization for my skin. It also feels very soothing on the skin.

The Tamanu Oil gives this a distinct smell, but it’s not a bad one! It’s very earthy. I don’t think this is a con but it’s something to keep in mind! 

I’ve been suffering from eczema on my hands since I was about 10 years old. It’s been a struggle finding the right treatments, as I hated the greasy feeling most eczema creams left on my hands. I also didn’t see much results. So it’s been 7 years and I’m still learning how to treat the disease.

I’m happy I came across Krave’s Great Barrier Relief serum. This serum was not sticky on my hands as it absorbed quickly, and I did see results. Although my hands are still dry, they barely bleed or crack like they used to after using this serum daily.
-
I also use it daily as a moisturizer. I had quite a damaged skin barrier on my face, and thanks to this product (as well as their matcha hemp hydrating cleanser), my skin is back to normal. But, I need to find another moisturizer now that my skin is healthy because this is a little too oily for my repaired skin.
-
In conclusion, I totally recommend this product! But it’s not for everyone. It is for those with a damaged skin barrier and/or dryer skin. It has helped my eczema and it fixed my skin barrier. I seriously cannot live without this serum. 

I found the essence to be a little sticky, but once I applied moisturizer there was no problem. Other than that, I have no complaints!  

I recieved this product for free from Picky & Dr. Ceuracle in exchange for my honest review. I really loved this essence! It’s water so it absorbs easily, but it still has a slip to it so it moisturizies as well. I found this essence to be very soothing and hydrating and worked really well for my sensitive combo skin.  

The fragrance is STRONG on this one. Would not recommend if you are sensitive to essential oils and/or fragrance. 

I’m a sucker for anything with green tea, so I had very high hopes for this product, especially since it’s such a cult favorite. Because of this, and since I used it the day right after I used a severely dehydrating product, I had a bad first impression. My skin was still feeling a little tight and the scent was SO OVERWHELMING...the essential oils and fragrance in this product did not come to play. However, she did grow on me. I found that once my skin recovered from the dehydration, this cleanser left my skin feeling well cleansed but not overly stripped. It was quite gentle and fun to use, especially since it’s in stick form. You can either use it directly on your face for a soft physical exfoliation with the green tea leaves, or you can lather it up in your hands and then apply to the face. This is where the product’s charm is! She’s also super convenient for travelling.
