Editorial verdict

The Su:m37 Secret Essence is a sophisticated first essence designed to kickstart the skincare routine with a potent blend of fermented ingredients. Its formulation centers around the "Cytosis" complex, featuring multiple ferments like Saccharomyces, Bifida, and Lactobacillus, known for their skin-conditioning and antioxidant properties. Niacinamide further supports skin barrier function and brightens, while humectants like glycerin and panthenol provide hydration. This essence is best suited for individuals seeking to improve overall skin radiance, texture, and hydration, particularly those interested in fermented skincare benefits. It aims to prepare the skin to better absorb subsequent products and is generally suitable for most skin types looking for a boost in vitality, though those with extreme sensitivities should note the presence of added fragrance.
