| Verdict | iUNIK signature product and one of the best-kept secrets in sensitive-skin K-beauty. 70% beta-glucan — a powerhouse humectant and soothing agent — combined with a minimalist supporting cast. The result is a serum that hydrates like hyaluronic acid but also calms reactive skin the way centella does. Cult favorite for a reason. | Neogen's ferment serum leads with bifida ferment lysate — the same probiotic base that made Estée Lauder's Advanced Night Repair iconic, at a fraction of the price. Triple fermentation: bifida, saccharomyces, and rice ferment filtrate deliver postbiotic metabolites that strengthen the microbiome barrier. Niacinamide and adenosine add brightening and anti-wrinkle. The K-beauty brand that proved fermented skincare doesn't need a luxury tax. |
