Limited Edition Kombucha Treatment Essence x Juno Shen

Light meets luminous skin in fresh’s new limited-edition Kombucha Facial Treatment Essence by neon artist Juno Shen. Blending two creative expressions—Juno Shen’s neon artistry and fresh’s sensory overload—the collaboration empowers you with vibrant colors and the illuminating benefits of kombucha.

Kombucha Facial Treatment Essence is a liquid gold treatment that protects and visibly repairs from the harmful effects of external stressors—including dullness, dryness, uneven skin tone, and visible lines—leaving skin smooth and luminous. Powered by double-fermented kombucha, this antioxidant prep step deeply penetrates 20+ surface layers to visibly improve texture, clarity, and luminosity while boosting your skincare routine’s efficacy. The fast-absorbing formula also features an advanced metabiotic ingredient to visibly repair, hyaluronic acid to plump and hydrate, and artemisia flower to even the complexion.


New York-based artist Juno Shen was influenced by the concept of light and natural beauty that lives within all of us to create fresh’s new limited-edition look. “This project reflects the spectrum of hues that inspire and nurture the light within me,” she says. “We all have a unique brilliance within us, nurture it and let it shine brightly.” Additionally, the glowing color palette represents the different auras that illuminate from within us. Choose purple to embrace confidence and power; pink for strength and optimism; and orange for energy and bravery. Let Kombucha Facial Treatment Essence illuminate your life by using daily, after your toner and before your serums, both morning and night.


Key ingredients

  • Kombucha is fermented black tea rich in antioxidants that helps to smooth skin, increase luminosity, and deliver 24-hour protection* against the effects of external stressors—which can lead to dullness, dryness, uneven skin tone, and the look of premature lines.
  • Advanced metabiotic is an active ingredient technology that supports skin’s enzymes to help visibly repair from the effects of external stress for 24 hours.**
  • Hyaluronic acid helps attract and maintain moisture to enhance suppleness for soft, smooth, plump-looking skin.
  • Artemisia flower extract improves skin homogeneity to help deliver a more luminous, even complexion.
