Key actives
Tricholoma Matsutake Extractplant extract
Matsutake mushroom extract, the songi prized in Korean cooking. It carries beta-glucans and amino acids and is used as a hydrating, conditioning extract. On this lotion's own ingredient list it is named eleventh.
Camellia Japonica Flower Extractplant extract
Camellia Japonica Flower Extract comes from the flower of the Korean camellia. It is used as a conditioning, hydrating extract. It is named eighteenth on this lotion's list, alongside Tricholoma Matsutake Extract.
Houttuynia Cordata Extractplant extract
Houttuynia Cordata is heartleaf, and it is one of the two or three anchor plants of Korean calming skincare. Its extract carries quercitrin and other flavonoids and is used for the look of redness and blemish-prone skin. The panel names it twentieth on this lotion's list, beside Tricholoma Matsutake Extract.
Sedum Sarmentosum Extractplant extract
Stringy stonecrop, the dollnamul eaten as a Korean spring green. It is a succulent, so its extract is watery and hydrating. It is named twenty-first on this lotion's list, alongside Tricholoma Matsutake Extract.
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 lotion's list, beside Tricholoma Matsutake Extract.
How to use
- Smooth a small amount over the face after your serum, morning and night, as your everyday moisturizing step.
Where does this lotion go in my routine?
As the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. Anything thinner than a lotion 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 Tricholoma Matsutake Extract and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market lotion or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Tricholoma Matsutake Extract and all. We match this lotion 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 Tricholoma Matsutake Extract?
Camellia Japonica Flower Extract, Houttuynia Cordata Extract and Sedum Sarmentosum Extract. The order they are printed in on this lotion's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Tricholoma Matsutake Extract sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate and Hyaluronic Acid.

How it works
The Real Aqua Balancing Lotion is a 140ml lotion, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The plant extract it is built around is Tricholoma Matsutake Extract, named eleventh on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Camellia Japonica Flower Extract, Houttuynia Cordata Extract and Sedum Sarmentosum Extract, so the plant extract is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Tricholoma Matsutake Extract stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the lotion format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the lotion ACWELL sells in Korea, Tricholoma Matsutake Extract and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this lotion on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Tricholoma Matsutake Extract on the list.
- Introduce this lotion on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Tricholoma Matsutake Extract rather than to three changes at once.
