How it works
The Birch Moisture Boosting Pad is a 160ml product. The active it is built around is Allantoin, named sixth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Acetyl Glucosamine, Gluconolactone and Cyanocobalamin, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Allantoin stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the product format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the product Anua sells in Korea, Allantoin and all.

Key actives
Allantoinactive
Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin. On this product's own ingredient list it is named sixth.
Acetyl Glucosamineactive
Acetyl Glucosamine is the sugar unit hyaluronic acid is built from. It is used as a humectant and, at higher levels, for the look of uneven tone, often paired with niacinamide. The panel names it forty-second on this product's list, beside Allantoin.
Gluconolactoneexfoliant
Gluconolactone is a PHA, the gentlest exfoliant class. It is named twenty-first on this product's list, alongside Allantoin.
Cyanocobalaminvitamin
Cyanocobalamin is vitamin B12, and it is a deep pink-red, which is why a formula carrying it often has a colour nobody added on purpose. It is used as a conditioning vitamin. The panel names it forty-fourth on this product's list, beside Allantoin.
Tocopherolantioxidant
Tocopherol is vitamin E. It is an oil-soluble antioxidant that protects the oils in a formula from going rancid and works on skin as an emollient, and it is regularly paired with vitamin C because each keeps the other going for longer. It is named forty-fifth on this product's list, alongside Allantoin.
Is this the Korean-market product or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Allantoin and all. We match this product 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 Allantoin?
Acetyl Glucosamine, Gluconolactone and Cyanocobalamin. The order they are printed in on this product's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Allantoin sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Tocopherol, Cucumis Sativus (Cucumber) Fruit Extract and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract.

How to use
- Take one pad after cleansing and sweep outward from the centre of the face, textured side against the skin.
- Turn it over and press the smooth side onto the cheeks or forehead so the rest of the liquid is used.
- Move straight to your serum while the skin is still damp, since that is when the next layer spreads best.
- Do not press hard or reuse a pad on the neck after the face, because a used pad has already given up its liquid.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this product on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Allantoin on the list.
- Gluconolactone on this list makes this product an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.

What professionals say
What professionals say
What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
Allantoin can tone down the dryness of the individual cells. It increases the water content of the skin, which means it helps to hydrate and moisturize.
Wilma Bergfeld, MDDermatologist, Cleveland Clinic People with dry, flaky skin are more likely to see a benefit from using vitamin E because it enhances moisturization.
Amy Kassouf, MDDermatologist, Cleveland Clinic
1 more professional perspective
This means that gluconolactone acts as an exfoliating acid, but also as a moisturizer. It has moisturizing, soothing, and lightening properties, working well on dry skin.
