## Key benefits

- Butylene Glycol sits near the top on this product's own ingredient list, a multifunctional glycol that carries moisture and helps preserve the formula.
- A barrier-supporting provitamin that eases surface roughness, and Panthenol is right there in this product's ingredient list, in the first half.
- On this formula's own list, Squalane shows up in the first half. It is a lightweight, non-comedogenic emollient that mimics skin's own lipids.

## How it works

The size is the point here as much as the formula: at 450ml this is a tub you can use generously on arms, legs and face without rationing, which is how a dry skin routine actually gets followed. It is the sealing step, so it goes on last and holds the water underneath in rather than adding a new watery layer. A barrier cream is built simply on purpose, because the skin that needs one does not want a long list of new ingredients to react to. That is the difference from a small jar of a rich facial cream, which is the same job at four times the price per use and never gets used on the body. What you can judge is whether the skin still feels comfortable four hours later.

## How to use

1. On the face, apply it last, after any thinner layers, while the skin underneath is still damp.
2. On the body, apply it straight after a shower while the skin is still damp rather than fully dry.
3. Scoop with clean dry fingers or a spatula and press it in rather than rubbing it around.
4. Do not dip wet fingers into the tub, because water carried back in is what shortens the life of an open jar.

## FAQ

### Is this for face or body?

Both, and the size is why. At 450ml you can use it generously on arms and legs as well as the face, which is how a dry skin routine gets kept up. Oilier skin often uses it on the body and something lighter on the face, which is a sensible split.

### Where does it go in my routine?

Last on the face, after anything thinner, morning and night. On the body, straight after a shower while the skin is still damp, since a cream on damp skin holds far more water than one applied twenty minutes later on a dry arm.

### How rich is it?

Rich enough to be a genuine sealing step for dry skin, without being a heavy occlusive balm. Most people find it comfortable on the face at night and manageable in the morning under sunscreen. In summer, combination skin usually prefers something lighter for the face and keeps this for the body.

### How should I handle a tub this size?

Clean dry fingers or a spatula, and the lid on properly. A wide tub picks up whatever is on your hands and water dipped back in shortens its life. If you use it in the shower room, keep a small spatula next to it rather than reaching in with wet hands.

### Is this the Korean-market formula?

Yes. This is the Original Korean Formula 450ml tub, the same one sold on Korean shelves. Paying on arrival.
