main ingredients:

- 10% galactomyces ferment filtrate: fermented product that's rich of nutrition and antioxidant. helps moisten, shrinks pores, brighten and evens out skin tone.

- prebiotic: ingredients that nourish microbiota or probiotic on skin to balance the amount of normal flora in the skin layers, reduce redness and increase skin health.

- moisturizer (betaine, xylitol-glucose sugar complex): increase elasticity, moisten and increase skin hydration by correcting natural moisturizing factor and strengthen skin carrier.

- allantoin: skin protectant, protect skin surface from irritant exposure and soothe skin that is mildly irritated.

the packaging: it comes in a red/white box with description on it in indonesian and english. there's description at the back of the bottle as well both in english and indonesian as well as the ingredients list. the bottle itself is a transparent plastic bottle with screw cap. it has white/red label on it which is similar to the box. it comes in 100 ml but it seems small since the bottle is not that tall. what's surprised me is an extra cap on the opening. they put an extra cap on the stopper to make it extra secure. 

the scent: i didn't read anything about it before buying it. but just right after i pay for it, i read somewhere about the fragrance. and it's quite fragrant. at first, it was too fragrant for my nose, but after a few uses, my nose became accustomed with the scent. it's just as fragrant as the momopuri toner, but this one has floral scent.

the product: the essence is just like other FTE. it's a watery type essence that is easily absorbed by your skin. it's transparent, it looks like water and feels like water. it feels like other FTE as well. even though this one only has 10% of galactomyces ferment filtrate, but they have added prebiotic and moisturizers (betaine, glycerin, BG) as well as allantoin to soothe the skin (usually FTE has 90% or more of fermented stuff).

the result: right from the start, i can feel the hydration boost that it gives. somehow it reminds me of the days when i used FTE regularly. it feels nice to give back the hydration that my skin needs after washing it off. it also a bit moisturizing. compared to other FTE that i've used before, i think the feeling is similar to missha. a bit less moisturizing than purito. as for brightening, i don't think this is brightening on its own. but i do agree that this helps nourish my skin. i've been getting several breakouts due to using mask regularly now (covid is getting worse here, so even though we're at home, i still put on my mask), but it heals quickly and the scars fade rather quickly as well. 

if you like essences, then you should try it, especially if you don't mind the fragrant scent. it's hydrating and a bit moisturizing and i think it will be a good boost for all skin types. if they could tone down the scent a bit, it would be perfect. if i can't find anything else, i will definitely repurchase this one. you can get erha easily through their official website or marketplace, and from sociolla as well. price wise, it's still affordable especially when it's on sale.
