Answer
Regarding Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (Pitera)
Thank you for your inquiry regarding our Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate products.
We understand you are asking about the original version of Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (aka Pitera) and comparing it to a newer version, noting a difference in the "plumping" effect on your skin.
We would like to clarify that both versions of Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate are still available for sale:
- Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (aka Pitera) (Product ID: 357): This is the original version you were using, which contains Butylene Glycol.
- Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (Glycol Free, Glycerin Free, Preservative Free) (Product ID: 35561): This is a newer version formulated without glycol, glycerin, or preservatives, designed for very sensitive skin.
The difference in skin feel and effect you are experiencing is likely due to the difference in composition, specifically the presence of Butylene Glycol in the original version (ID 357). Butylene Glycol acts as a humectant and can contribute to the texture and hydrating feel of a product, potentially giving the "plumping" effect you preferred.
If you prefer the results and feel of the original product, you can continue to purchase the Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate (aka Pitera) (ID 357).
For exploring other fermented ingredients that offer various skin benefits, you might also consider:
- Dermal Respiratory Factor (Saccharomyces Lysate Extract, Product ID: 1612): This is a concentrated extract from Saccharomyces yeast, similar in action to Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate but used at a lower concentration.
- MYFerment™ Balance (Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate) (Product ID: 35564): Another Saccharomyces ferment filtrate known for supporting the skin barrier, hydration, and potentially balancing the skin microbiome.
These alternatives offer different profiles of benefits and might complement your current routine, although they may not replicate the exact feel provided by the original Galactomyces with Butylene Glycol.
We hope this clarifies the product availability and helps you find the best option for your skin needs.
