"This is from Papa Recipe. This is the Noble Rot Lifting Essence and if you have mature skin, if you want something that gives you an antioxidant boost that absorbs beautifully and that is safe for damaged skin barriers, this was literally made by a papa for his daughter who had eczema. So it's not going to cure eczema, but this is great for a damaged skin barrier. And noble rot is specifically the rot that grows on specific grapes."

"This is more of an essence from Papa Recipe, another K Beauty line. This was actually made by a father for his daughter who had eczema. This is not meant to cure eczema so I want to make it clear it's not an eczema treatment or anything like that, but this is Noble Rot and they actually found that there's basically this fungus that grows on grapes that is amazing. It is lifting, it is nice and plumping to the skin."

"I literally feel like this is the first product I can truly say is a level up from my pyunkang yul essence toner. It absorbs well, it has beneficial ingredients, and yes it is fragrance and dye-free. It has panthenol, that vitamin B5 for hydration, it also has adenosine which helps with fine lines and wrinkles. This is one of the products that directly after putting it on I see the difference. [...] This Noble Rot is a lifting, hydrating, fermented essence that has replaced my pyunkang yul."

"The Noble Rot Lifting Essence [...] is a perfect example of what a hydrating essence should look like and what it should do. It's [...] a deeply hydrating and soothing essence that you can feel the moment it touches your skin, not only getting into your skin but soothing and smoothing the surface of your skin, providing instant hydration that you can feel throughout your skin. It's formulated with lower molecular weight hyaluronic acid to deliver that hydration into your skin."

What the evidence says.

Independent of what the gurus think, this is what the published research supports about the main active ingredients here.

Humectants and emollients

Ingredients like these draw water into the surface layers and slow how fast it leaves. The evidence is for comfort, softness and hydration rather than for changing the structure of the skin.
