THE ORDINARY Saccharomyces Ferment 30% Milky Toner

This is a Beyond Beauty product which means it has been sourced, tried and tested and finally declared one of the most new and innovative heroes out there.

The Ordinary’s Saccharomyces Ferment 30% Milky Toner gently exfoliates for smoother, more hydrated and radiant skin. Through this gentle exfoliation, it helps to reduce textural irregularities and smooth skin texture, and helps to reduce the look of dark spots, resulting in brighter, more radiant skin. Saccharomyces Ferment 30% Milky Toner has a lightweight texture, and is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.

This formulation’s key ingredient is a 30% concentration of saccharomyces ferment - a yeast ferment technology with 3% fermented N-acetylglucosamine (NAG):

Fermented N-acetylglucosamine (NAG): A gentler alternative to traditional exfoliants. This non-acidic molecule is derived from yeast fermentation.

30% Saccharomyces Ferment: Featured in a high concentration, this ingredient provides 3% N-acetylglucosamine (NAG)—a very gentle active which encourages surface exfoliation to help smooth uneven skin texture. NAG is a naturally occurring amino sugar that can be obtained through biotechnology. The NAG in our formulation is combined with a yeast broth mixture, and undergoes saccharomyces (yeast) fermentation. NAG also targets dullness to help promote a radiant appearance. 

Squalane: Squalane – found naturally within the skin’s sebum – helps reinforce the skin barrier. This well-known and well-tolerated hydrating emollient helps give the toner its characteristic light and milky consistency. Squalane is a saturated hydrocarbon that is produced using biotechnology. 

Saccharomyces Ferment 30% Milky Toner also gives all-day lasting hydration and promotes a stronger skin barrier after one application. Supported by squalane, this formulation is especially good for dry skin types.
