Key actives
Hydrolyzed Collagenprotein
Hydrolyzed Collagen is collagen broken into fragments small enough to dissolve in water. It cannot become collagen in skin; what it does is hold water at the surface and leave a smooth, conditioned film. The name on the box points at it, and it is named second on this cream's own ingredient list.
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is named ninth on this cream's list, alongside Hydrolyzed Collagen.
Adenosineactive
Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated. It is named thirty-eighth on this cream's list, alongside Hydrolyzed Collagen.
Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4peptide
Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 is the five-amino-acid peptide originally sold as Matrixyl. It is used for the look of fine lines and is one of the longest-standing cosmetic peptides. The panel names it ninety-fourth on this cream's list, beside Hydrolyzed Collagen.
Pyridoxine HClvitamin
Pyridoxine HCl is the water-soluble salt of vitamin B6. It is a conditioning vitamin, most often part of a B-complex blend. It is named ninety-fifth on this cream's list, alongside Hydrolyzed Collagen.
How to use
- Take a small scoop of Time 8 Lift Toning Collagen Cream 80ml and warm it between your palms before pressing it into the face and neck as the last step of your routine.
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 Hydrolyzed Collagen and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market cream or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Hydrolyzed Collagen 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.
Does this cream contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Fragrance. It sits on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this cream is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Hydrolyzed Collagen?
Niacinamide, Adenosine and Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4. The order they are printed in on this cream's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Hydrolyzed Collagen sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Pyridoxine HCl, Folic Acid and Biotin.

How it works
The Time 8 Lift Toning Collagen Cream is a 80ml cream, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The protein it is built around is Hydrolyzed Collagen, named second on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Niacinamide, Adenosine and Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, so the protein is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Hydrolyzed Collagen 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 BRTC sells in Korea, Hydrolyzed Collagen and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this cream on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Hydrolyzed Collagen on the list.
- This list names Fragrance, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.

Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.
