Betula Alba Juice – The essence contains 17% Betula Alba Juice or birch juice, which makes this essence intensely hydrating and moisturizing. This ingredient substitutes water in a lot of Korean products and is another one of my favorites. When I apply it to my skin it literally runs on my skin like water would. The texture is great for oily and combo skins as it’s fast-absorbing and doesn’t leave behind any traces. Fermentation naturally produces amino acids, vitamins, and various antioxidants, which are great for the skin,” says Choo. “The process of fermentation results in a smaller molecular structure, which makes it easier to absorb into the skin.” To better understand how Neogen Dermalogy products work, it’s important to consider the ingredients in individual formulations.

When researching Korean skin care products, some consumers may come across Neogen Dermalogy. This brand was developed by Neogen, a skin care company founded in 2009 around the idea of using botanical extracts and exotic ingredients for skin applications. However, when considering this line of products the consumer must keep in mind that Neogen Dermalogy has a relatively limited distribution in the United States. Though the company distributes products through physical locations in Korea and Philippines, U.S. consumers must look for third party distributors who have imported these products. As such, building a regular skin care kit from Neogen Dermalogy products may be somewhat problematic due to potential inventory interruptions with U.S. distributors.

NeogenReal Ferment Micro Essence is a gel-like serum that delivers a concentrated boost of nutrients and antioxidants to skin, promising to help you achieve brighter, smoother, and stronger "honey skin". The formula includes 61% fermented ingredients, such as Saccharomyces ferment filtrate, Bifida ferment lysate, and rice ferment filtrate. The benefits of fermented ingredients in skin care are similar to the benefits provided by fermented foods, which aid in the absorption and digestion of the nutrients you consume. In skin care products, microorganisms like bacteria or yeast release enzymes that break down other ingredients into smaller molecules. Active ingredients in skin care products are often too large to penetrate deeply into the skin, so by breaking them down into smaller molecules, fermented ingredients facilitate the absorption of these ingredients. Better absorption leads to better results.

There are a lot of skin-soothing and moisturizing ingredients in the formula, like Sodium Hyaluronate.
