## Key benefits

- On this formula's own list, Butylene Glycol shows up near the top. It is a multifunctional glycol that carries moisture and helps preserve the formula.
- This one's ingredient list carries Zinc Oxide near the top, a zinc compound included to help manage surface oil and shine.
- Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil sits in the back half on this product's own ingredient list, tea tree oil, included for its use against blemish-prone, oily skin.

## How it works

This is a targeted product, which changes how it is used: a small amount on the spots that need it rather than a layer over the face. Because the dose is local, the formula can be more focused than anything you would want across both cheeks. It goes on at the end of the evening routine, over the cream rather than under it, so nothing is spread across the area afterwards. That is the difference from a whole face blemish serum, which is the right buy when the problem is scattered rather than in two or three places. What you can judge is how the individual spots look the following morning.

## How to use

1. Finish your usual evening routine first, so this goes on over the cream rather than under it.
2. Take a small amount on a clean fingertip and dab it onto each spot without spreading it outward.
3. Leave it on overnight and rinse in the morning as part of your usual cleanse.
4. Do not use it over the whole face, since the point of a targeted product is that only a small area gets it.

## FAQ

### How is this different from a blemish serum?

Coverage. This is dabbed on two or three spots, while a serum goes across an area. That means the formula can be more focused than something you would spread everywhere. If your blemishes are scattered across the cheeks rather than in a couple of places, a whole face product is the better buy.

### Where does it go in my routine?

Last, at night, after your moisturizer. Because it sits only on the spots, putting it under the cream would mean spreading it around as you apply the cream. Do the full routine, then dab this on, then nothing else until you cleanse in the morning.

### Can I use it in the morning too?

You can, but under makeup it may lift whatever goes over it, so most people keep it for nights. If you do want it in the daytime, put it on after moisturizer and before sunscreen, and give it a couple of minutes to settle before anything else touches the area.

### Can I use it with a patch?

Pick one per spot per night rather than layering. A patch needs a dry clean surface to stick to and a cream underneath stops it holding. Use the cream on the nights a spot is closed, and a patch on the nights it is open and weeping.

### Is this the Korean-market formula?

Yes. This is the Original Korean Formula 30g tube, the same one sold on Korean shelves.
