Key actives
Tocopherolantioxidant
Tocopherol is vitamin E. It is an oil-soluble antioxidant that protects the oils in a formula from going rancid and works on skin as an emollient, and it is regularly paired with vitamin C because each keeps the other going for longer. On this lotion's own ingredient list it is named fiftieth.
Portulaca Oleracea Extractplant extract
Portulaca Oleracea is purslane. Its extract is unusually high in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants for a plant, and Korean formulas use it for the look of reddened, reactive skin. The panel names it eighteenth on this lotion's list, beside Tocopherol.
Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extractplant extract
Artemisia Princeps is Korean mugwort, one of the country's oldest skincare and bathing plants. Its leaf extract is used for the look of reddened, reactive skin, and it is the ingredient behind the mugwort category. The panel names it twenty-first on this lotion's list, beside Tocopherol.
Centella Asiatica Extractplant extract
Centella Asiatica is the plant behind the whole cica category, sold as gotu kola or Madagascar centella. Its extract is the anchor of Korean formulas built for easily reddened skin, and its work is done by four triterpenes: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid. The panel names it twenty-fourth on this lotion's list, beside Tocopherol.
Rosa Damascena Flower Extractplant extract
Damask rose flower extract, the rose grown for perfume. It carries tannins and flavonoids and is used as a conditioning extract. It is named twenty-eighth on this lotion's list, alongside Tocopherol.
How to use
- Apply after cleansing and toning, patting or smoothing a small amount evenly over the face and neck. Follow with the next step in your routine, layering thinnest to thickest. Use morning and night unless your skin runs sensitive, in which case start with once daily.
Where does this lotion go in my routine?
As the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. Anything thinner than a lotion 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 Tocopherol and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market lotion or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Tocopherol and all. We match this lotion 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 Tocopherol?
Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract and Centella Asiatica Extract. The order they are printed in on this lotion's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Tocopherol sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Rosa Damascena Flower Extract, Arnica Montana Flower Extract and Artemisia Vulgaris Extract.

How it works
The Aloe 97% Soothing Lotion Intensive Moisturizing is a 240ml lotion, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The antioxidant it is built around is Tocopherol, named fiftieth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Portulaca Oleracea Extract, Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract and Centella Asiatica Extract, so the antioxidant is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Tocopherol stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the lotion format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the lotion HOLIKA HOLIKA sells in Korea, Tocopherol and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this lotion on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Tocopherol on the list.
- Introduce this lotion on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Tocopherol rather than to three changes at once.
