Anti-agingGalactomyces ferment filtrateMay help
“Packed with galactomyces ferment filtrate to enhance skin elasticity, reduce the appearance of wrinkles and brighten skin.”
This product contains galactomyces ferment filtrate. There is some human evidence that this ingredient helps reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin elasticity and firmness, though it is smaller or less consistent than the evidence for the best anti-aging ingredients.

“Contains Provence rose water for long-lasting hydration and skin-rejuvenating benefits.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": betaine, galactomyces ferment filtrate.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from within deeper layers of the skin. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
Anti-oxidationSide benefit · Galactomyces ferment filtrateWorks well

A yeast ferment filtrate (also known as Pitera - a trademarked name for the filtrate reserved by the SK-II brand). It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin, can help neutralize antioxidants and can be helpful in evening out the skin tone. It might be somewhat helpful in preventing premature skin aging but solid evidence is lacking. A small manufacturer study also shows that, when used in high concentrations, it can help reduce sebum production and help against blocked pores
