Lactobacillus/Grape Juice Ferment Filtrate
Science & Benefits
This ferment filtrate is rich in Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), specifically tartaric acid, produced during the fermentation of grape juice. It provides a dual-action benefit for acne-prone skin: it acts as a gentle, non-irritating chemical exfoliant to keep the follicular opening clear of debris, while its probiotic components support a healthy skin barrier. As a humectant, it is exceptionally effective at binding moisture to the stratum corneum. It is zero-comedogenic and serves as a 'bulletproof' choice for users who need consistent, low-level exfoliation and deep hydration without the risk of triggering the 'purging' often associated with more aggressive acids.
