Fresh Black Tea Kombucha Essence Review

The Fresh Black Tea Kombucha Essence has, well, Kombucha, as its active ingredient. Kombucha is rich in probiotics and we know drinking it is good for gut health, and in turn makes our skin glow naturally. But today’s review of this Fresh Black Tea Kombucha Essence is to delve into how this fermented goodness, when applied on the skin, can bring about the beneficial bacteria, vitamins and antioxidant protection against urban pollution and more.

Fresh Black Tea Kombucha Facial Treatment Essence Review Singapore

The Fresh Black Tea Kombucha Facial Treatment Essence is one of those facial treatment essences that can replace your makeup primer altogether. This can literally be a skincare and makeup product review in one, for real.

Packaging

The Fresh Black Tea Kombucha Facial Treatment Essence comes in quite a weighty glass bottle, thank god for the strong screw-on cap or I could not have possibly still have it in one piece without lifting it by the neck before dropping and smashing the bottle into pieces. But that said, make sure you screw it all the way down tight. Holding it by a jiggly cap doesn’t guarantee you it would not give way. Please don’t handle it with wet hands to avoid slipping. Mine’s down to half and it still takes some effort to grip the bottle with one hand. Don’t say I didn’t warn ya. The amount of product it dispenses is great. Drips at a nice pace and with good-sized droplets. You know how some take too long and you end up not having the patience to wait out for the amount you supposed to work with? And then you have some gushing out like water taps and you had to make do with massaging the excess product on your arms, legs, no?

Texture

When I say this facial treatment essence makes a good makeup adhesive base, I don’t necessarily mean that it is tacky; I mean it literally forms a veil over which not only makeup stays on, but because it also creates this layer of protection, environmental pollutants have a harder time to come into contact with your skin.

Fresh Kombucha Essence Health benefits for skin review

You don’t feel its physical sense there once it seeps into the skin; if that’s what bothers you. The essence feels silky to touch, but once applied, feels next to nothing. You may watch this short video below I’ve put together my 3 go-to facial treatment essences for different times of the day, including how this Fresh Black Tea Kombucha Facial Treatment Essence could literally turn my skin around within an hour.

Scent

The Fresh Kombucha facial essence straight up smells like sweet, black tea. The sugary scent slightly more than the tea, but together, they deliver a mild, pleasant scent to this product. Sweet because sugar is used in the making of this fermented skincare from reacting with the yeast extract used in the same process.

Fresh Kombucha Essence Review:

Let’s put fresh Kombucha, quite literally, in essence, to our focus of understanding and review of the product as a whole here.

Kombucha Health Benefits for skin

Kombucha health benefits we’ve heard of plenty. But how does it work with the skin as with our body? The yeast extract in the Kombucha has collagen-building and anti-aging properties, therefore the result of the yeast fermentation process to produce the Kombucha fermented tea would then produce the key ingredient to this Fresh Kombucha essence – the Saccharomyces ferment filtrate, containing the essential minerals, amino acids, beta-glucan and vitamins necessary for not just slowing down ageing but also to step up the skin’s defence mechanism against external factors like uv radiation and bacteria, as well as innate stressors that can threaten the immunity system and trigger inflammation. At first I do not get why this black tea kombucha treatment essence is marketed as an “anti-pollution” skincare product, but I think I can understand why now because it impedes aggravation as much as it does ageing.

I’ve been using the Fresh Black Tea Kombucha Essence for over a year now. I can say for sure that fermented skincare like this one, works best for mature skin like mine (I’m soon to be 42 years old). This fermented kombucha tea essence is known as a “facial treatment essence” not just because it says it is one, but it really does treat the facial skin, especially with mature skin because fermented ingredients tackle more than maintain our biological processes, and so bring about greater improvement to the skin condition. They induce good bacteria to fight off the bad ones and increases cellular metabolism; these reduce inflammation and increases the nutrient absorption at the same time. So apart from the fact that my makeup can stay longer with this essence as a base which to me translates to how well it can stay on the skin without disintegrating, this product also serves as a good skin barrier because of how it helps with defending my occasional breakouts against contamination to heal faster.

This essence also bring about some rather quick visible transformation. You may want to pay attention to the 1:38 mark of the video above to capture the difference before and after I’ve applied the Fresh Kombucha Facial Treatment Essence, ie, pores appear refined, skin tone becomes more radiant, and the skin texture becomes overall smoother all in an hour’s time. If this doesn’t say some thing is working, I don’t know what does.
