THE ORDINARY Saccharomyces Ferment 30% Milky Toner 100ml – Fixes Dull Rough Dehydrated Skin Without Sting Gentle Surface Exfoliation + Squalane Barrier in 1 Step

✨ Key Benefits✔️ 30% Saccharomyces Ferment + 3% Fermented NAG: Yeast ferment feeds amino acids/beta-glucans for conditioning; NAG (a glucosamine derivative) gently dissolves dead-cell adhesion on the surface — smoother texture and brighter look without acid burn or purging.✔️ Squalane Barrier Lock: Plant squalane sits in the lipid layer, offsets any trans-epidermal water loss from exfoliation, and gives the "milky" cushion — why Deciem calls barrier "stronger at 8h post single use."✔️ Glucose-Surfactant Emulsion, pH 5.0–6.0: Lauryl/Myristyl Glucoside + Polyglyceryl-6 Laurate are ultra-mild non-ionic emulsifiers — no SLS, no soap, matches skin acid mantle, tolerant on reactive skins.✔️ Daily Prep, Not Treatment: Positioned as Step 1 "Prep" — it preps absorption for the Treat step (serums/retinoids) instead of competing with them; safe every day, even alongside retinoid nights as a buffer.✔️ Alcohol/Oil/Silicone-Free & Vegan: No denatured alcohol, no dimethicone, no squalene-derived animal lipid (squalane is plant), vegan + cruelty-free, fragrance under 1% (effectively fragrance-free per Sephora callout).📦 Key FeaturesSize:​ 100ml / 3.4 fl oz (white bottle, minimalist TO label; 100ml is the only standard size).Texture:​ Thin milky lotion, opaque white, shakes to uniform, absorbs to soft non-greasy finish, faint natural ferment note (no added perfume).Key Ingredients (Deciem official INCI):​ Aqua, Yeast Extract (Saccharomyces Ferment 30%), Squalane, Lauryl Glucoside, Myristyl Glucoside, Polyglyceryl-6 Laurate, Isoceteth-20, Trisodium EDTA (Trisodium Ethylenediamine Disuccinate), Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Sodium Hydroxide, Phenoxyethanol, Chlorphenesin.Suitable For:​ All skin types; dull/rough/dehydrated; sensitive/reactive; retinoid/acid users as buffer prep; post-procedure (MD-cleared, intact skin).
