Key actives
sh-Oligopeptide-1peptide
sh-Oligopeptide-1 is a peptide made by yeast fermentation rather than synthesis, which is what the sh prefix records. It is used for the look of firmness and skin recovery after irritation. It is the entry this essence is named after, and the list carries it.
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. The panel names it seventh on this essence's list, beside sh-Oligopeptide-1.
Madecassic Acidactive
Madecassic Acid is the fourth centella triterpene. A list that names all four is telling you the extract was standardised rather than simply pressed, which is the difference between a cica claim and a cica formula. It is named twenty-second on this essence's list, alongside sh-Oligopeptide-1.
Asiaticosideactive
Asiaticoside is one of the four active triterpenes isolated from centella and the most studied of them. Korean formulas name it separately when they want to show which fraction of the plant they standardised. It is named twenty-third on this essence's list, alongside sh-Oligopeptide-1.
Asiatic Acidactive
Asiatic Acid is the third of centella's four triterpenes and the aglycone form, meaning it has no attached sugar. It is oil soluble, so it turns up in cica creams and balms more than in watery layers. The panel names it twenty-fourth on this essence's list, beside sh-Oligopeptide-1.
How to use
- Apply after toner and before moisturizer. Pat or smooth it over a cleansed face and let it absorb before the next step, AM and PM.
Where does this essence go in my routine?
After toner and before serum, morning and evening, on damp skin. Anything thinner than an essence 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 sh-Oligopeptide-1 and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market essence or a US version?
The Korean-market one, sh-Oligopeptide-1 and all. We match this essence 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 sh-Oligopeptide-1?
Allantoin, Madecassic Acid and Asiaticoside. The order they are printed in on this essence's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where sh-Oligopeptide-1 sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Asiatic Acid, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and Saccharomyces Ferment.

How it works
The Collagen EGF Peptide Mist Essence is a 105ml essence, used after toner and before serum, morning and evening, on damp skin. The peptide it is built around is sh-Oligopeptide-1, named eleventh on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Allantoin, Madecassic Acid and Asiaticoside, so the peptide is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the sh-Oligopeptide-1 stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the essence format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the essence APLB sells in Korea, sh-Oligopeptide-1 and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this essence on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with sh-Oligopeptide-1 on the list.
- Introduce this essence on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the sh-Oligopeptide-1 rather than to three changes at once.
