Key actives
Retinolactive
Retinol is the alcohol form of vitamin A and the strongest retinoid available without a prescription. Skin converts it in two steps to retinoic acid, and it is used at night, at low percentages, for the look of fine lines and rough texture. The name on the box points at it, and it is named forty-first on this cream's own ingredient list.
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. The panel names it seventh on this cream's list, beside Retinol.
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. The panel names it eighteenth on this cream's list, beside Retinol.
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 fortieth on this cream's list, alongside Retinol.
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizateactive
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is named forty-seventh on this cream's list, alongside Retinol.
How to use
- Apply as the last step of a routine, warming a small amount between the fingers before pressing over 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 Retinol and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market cream or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Retinol 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.
What else is on the list besides Retinol?
Niacinamide, Retinal and Adenosine. The order they are printed in on this cream's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Retinol sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Tranexamic Acid and Retinyl Palmitate.

How it works
The DW-EGF Retinol 0.03% Melatoning Cream is a 1ml cream, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The active it is built around is Retinol, named forty-first on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Niacinamide, Retinal and Adenosine, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Retinol 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 Easydew sells in Korea, Retinol and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this cream on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Retinol on the list.
- Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate is on this list, so keep this cream to the evening and build the nights up slowly rather than starting nightly.

What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
Vitamin A has a molecular structure that's tiny enough to get into the lower layers of your skin, where it finds and boosts collagen and elastin, which is a protein that strengthens your skin's flexibility.
Wilma Bergfeld, MDDermatologist, Cleveland Clinic It contains liquiritin, an active compound that helps to disperse and remove existing melanin in 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.
