Key actives

6Sodium Hyaluronatehumectant

Sodium Hyaluronate is the salt of hyaluronic acid, and it is what most products labelled hyaluronic actually contain. The salt dissolves more readily and the molecule is smaller, so it sits in the outer layer of skin rather than only on top of it. The panel names it sixth on this gel cream's list, beside Guaiazulene.

7Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acidhumectant

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid is hyaluronic acid cut into much shorter fragments. The smaller the fragment, the further into the outer layer it can settle, which is why serums stack several sizes together instead of using one. The panel names it seventh on this gel cream's list, beside Guaiazulene.

8Panthenolhumectant

Panthenol is pro-vitamin B5: skin converts it to pantothenic acid. It is a humectant that holds water and leaves skin feeling soft and less tight, and it is one of the ingredients formulators reach for when a formula also contains something harsh. It is named eighth on this gel cream's list, alongside Guaiazulene.

9Guaiazuleneactive

Guaiazulene is the deep blue compound distilled from chamomile and guaiac wood, and it is what colours a blue formula naturally. It is used for the look of reactive, reddened skin. On this gel cream's own ingredient list it is named ninth.

10Agave Tequilana Leaf Extractplant extract

Blue agave leaf extract. It carries fructans, sugars that hold water well, and is used as a hydrating extract. The panel names it tenth on this gel cream's list, beside Guaiazulene.

How it works

The Aqua Marine Watery Cream is a 50ml gel cream, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The active it is built around is Guaiazulene, named ninth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Agave Tequilana Leaf Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate and Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Guaiazulene stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the gel cream format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the gel cream Dr.Althea sells in Korea, Guaiazulene and all.

How to use

  1. Use the Aqua Marine Watery Cream as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum.
  2. A generous fingertip for the whole face. It spreads further than a cream, so start with less than you think.
  3. Serum first, this second. In the morning it is the layer sunscreen goes over, so give it a minute to settle first.
  4. Twice a day, every day. Do not layer it under a heavier cream to get more out of it; two lids in one routine only slow the first one down.

Worth knowing

  • Patch test on the inner arm first, as with any new step added to a routine.
  • Discontinue if irritation develops and check the ingredient list against any known sensitivity.

  • Hyaluronic acid helps bind water to collagen, which traps water in the skin. That helps make the skin more plump and full-looking.

  • Pantothenol is a common ingredient in skin care and hair products I recommend, particularly for people who are prone to dryness.
