Who Knew? Fermented Ingredients Also Do Amazing Things for Your Skin Care

Like fermented foods, these products have a slew of added benefits, including more potent active ingredients
Fermented Ingredient(s): A Fermented Oil Blend (Argan, Licorice, Olive and Shiunko)

Why we love it: Full of polyphenols, omega fatty acids and antioxidants, this lightweight oil softens lines and improves the elasticity of skin. It also contains vitamin C and turmeric to brighten. Use it to soothe and soften after any exfoliating treatment or as a glow-inducing step prior to applying makeup.

Fermented Ingredient(s): Black Tea Kombucha

Why we love it: While this one is a bit of a splurge, hear us out. This serum packs a punch moisturizing, smoothing lines and plumping the skin. The silky, lightweight formula contains cone snail venom to relax wrinkles as well as hyaluronic acid to plump and vitamin E to heal damage caused by free radicals. Use it day and night for softer, smoother skin.

Available September 2018

Fermented Ingredient(s): Yeast

Why we love it: EGF or epidermal growth factors are (in this case vegan) proteins that aid in cell turnover, stimulate collagen production and promote skin healing. This lightweight serum is great for anyone struggling with acne, dark spots or wrinkles. It speeds up cell turnover, helping to fight hyperpigmentation from sun exposure and skin trauma (like that bad breakout you couldn't just leave alone). Over time, your skin will be smoother and more even-toned. It has a pleasant yeasty scent reminiscent of bread and beer.

Fermented Ingredient(s): Lactobacillus Ferment

Why we love it: This refreshing spray toner smells like a trip to the spa, thanks to geranium and mandarin oils. It's loaded with skin-soothers like aloe, chamomile and witch hazel as well as lactobacillus ferment (traditionally used as the fermenting agent in many of your fave foods) to balance the good bacteria in your skin. It's great pre- and post-makeup to calm and refresh skin and keep acne at bay.

Fermented Ingredient: Red Ginseng

Why we love it: This lightly scented, soothing face mask is a steal at just $2. Not only does it fit your face, it stays put without being over-drippy. It's packed with antioxidant red ginseng, which is revered for its brightening, toning and anti-aging properties. It also contains allantoin, a plant-based compound that soothes skin and aids in the healing of wounds and other skin irritations. This is one sheet mask you can afford to use several times per week.
