Key actives
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizateactive
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. On this cream's own ingredient list it is named eighteenth.
Centella Asiatica Extractplant extract
Centella Asiatica is the plant behind the whole cica category, sold as gotu kola or Madagascar centella. Its extract is the anchor of Korean formulas built for easily reddened skin, and its work is done by four triterpenes: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid. The panel names it nineteenth on this cream's list, beside Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate.
Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extractplant extract
Witch hazel extract, the classic astringent plant. Its tannins bind to surface proteins, which is the tightening feel a toner built on it gives. The panel names it twentieth on this cream's list, beside Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate.
Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extractplant extract
Licorice Root Extract carries glabridin and liquiritin. It is one of the classic plant ingredients used for the look of uneven tone and redness, and it appears in almost every brightening formula that avoids synthetic actives. The panel names it twenty-second on this cream's list, beside Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate.
Paeonia Albiflora Root Extractplant extract
White peony root extract, from the same plant also written Paeonia lactiflora. The root is the part used in East Asian herbal practice and carries paeoniflorin and tannins. It is named twenty-third on this cream's list, alongside Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate.
How to use
- Apply after your serum or essence, morning and night, smoothing a small amount over the face and neck.
Where does this cream go in my routine?
As the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. Anything thinner than a cream goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market cream or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and all. We match this cream to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate?
Centella Asiatica Extract, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract and Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract. The order they are printed in on this cream's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Paeonia Albiflora Root Extract, Pueraria Lobata Root Extract and Squalane.

How it works
The Aqua Clinity Cream (Original) is a 50ml cream, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The active it is built around is Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, named eighteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Centella Asiatica Extract, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract and Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the cream format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the cream ACWELL sells in Korea, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on the jaw first if your skin reacts easily to something new.
- Very oily skin may prefer a thinner layer or a lighter product in summer.
