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. It is the entry this cream is named after, and the list carries it.
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. The panel names it sixth on this cream's list, beside Hydrolyzed Collagen.
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizateactive
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is named twenty-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. The panel names it thirty-first on this cream's list, beside Hydrolyzed Collagen.
Retinalactive
Retinal is retinaldehyde, a vitamin A derivative one chemical step closer to retinoic acid than retinol is. It is yellow-orange and unstable in light, so products carrying it are usually opaque. It is named thirty-sixth on this cream's list, alongside Hydrolyzed Collagen.
How to use
- Apply as the last step of your routine, morning or evening, smoothing evenly over the face and neck.
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 Limonene and Linalool. They sit 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, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and Adenosine. 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: Retinal, Hexapeptide-2 and Biotin.

How it works
The Retino Collagen Small Molecule 300 Guasha Neck Cream is a 50ml cream, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The protein it is built around is Hydrolyzed Collagen, named fortieth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Niacinamide, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and Adenosine, 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 CKD 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 Limonene and Linalool, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.
- Retinal is on this list, so keep this cream to the evening and build the nights up slowly rather than starting nightly.

Topical collagen is a very large molecule that's too big to absorb into the skin.

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.
