How it works
The Soothing Aloe Aqua Cream is a 150g cream, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The plant extract it is built around is Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, named first on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Extract and Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract, so the plant extract is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract 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 AROMATICA sells in Korea, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract and all.

Key actives
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extractplant extract
Aloe Leaf Extract is mostly water with polysaccharides, amino acids and mild plant acids. It hydrates and leaves a light, cooling film, which is why it is the default after-sun ingredient. The name on the box points at it, and it is named first on this cream's own ingredient list.
Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extractplant extract
Rosemary Leaf Extract carries rosmarinic and carnosic acids, both effective antioxidants. It is often there to keep the oils in a formula from going rancid. It is named sixth on this cream's list, alongside Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract.
Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Extractplant extract
Lavender extract, the water-soluble fraction rather than the essential oil. It is used as a conditioning extract and carries a light lavender scent. The panel names it seventh on this cream's list, beside Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract.
Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extractplant extract
Chamomile Flower Extract is one of the oldest ingredients in skincare, carrying bisabolol and chamazulene. It is used for the look of redness in formulas for reactive skin. The panel names it thirteenth on this cream's list, beside Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract.
Arginineamino acid
Arginine is an amino acid that does two jobs here: it holds water in the outer layer of skin, and it neutralises acidic gelling agents, which is why it often stands in for a synthetic pH adjuster. The panel names it fifteenth on this cream's list, beside Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract.
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 Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market cream or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract 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 Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract?
Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Extract and Chamomilla Recutita (Matricaria) Flower Extract. The order they are printed in on this cream's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Arginine and Panthenol.

How to use
- Use it morning and night as the final leave-on step of the routine.
- A small dab covers the whole face; add a second thin pass on dry areas rather than one thick one.
- Apply it while the skin is still slightly damp from the step before, which is when it spreads furthest.
- Avoid piling on extra in the morning if sunscreen is going over it, since a heavy base is what makes the next layer roll.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on the inner arm before a first full application if you are trying a new Korean formula for the first time, since a fragrance or botanical extract that suits most skin can still be the one thing an individual complexion does not tolerate.
- Introduce any new Korean-market formula on its own for the first few uses before layering it with the rest of an existing routine, so any reaction is easy to trace to a single product.
