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 balm's own ingredient list it is named thirty-sixth.
Cholesterolbarrier lipid
Cholesterol is the third of the three lipids the outer layer of skin is built from, with ceramides and fatty acids. Formulas that carry all three are following the ratio skin itself holds. It is named thirty-fourth on this balm's list, alongside Tocopherol.
Ceramide NPbarrier lipid
Ceramide NP is the most used cosmetic ceramide, the same class of lipid that makes up roughly half the mortar between cells in the outer layer of skin. Added to a cream it slots into that structure, which is why ceramide formulas feel less leaky rather than merely greasy. It is named thirty-ninth on this balm's list, alongside Tocopherol.
Phytosphingosinebarrier lipid
Phytosphingosine is the backbone every ceramide is built on, and skin uses it in its own lipid layer. In a formula it works with ceramides and cholesterol and also keeps the product stable against microbes. The panel names it fortieth on this balm's list, beside Tocopherol.
Panax Ginseng Root Waterplant extract
Ginseng root distillate used as a base water. It carries far less of the ginsenosides than the root extract does. The panel names it twenty-third on this balm's list, beside Tocopherol.
How to use
- Warm a small amount between the fingers and press onto the target area (face, lips, or body depending on the product) as the last step, or as needed through the day.
Where does this balm go in my routine?
As the final layer of the evening routine, over your usual moisturizer. Anything thinner than a balm 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.
What else is on the list besides Tocopherol?
Cholesterol, Ceramide NP and Phytosphingosine. The order they are printed in on this balm's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Tocopherol sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Panax Ginseng Root Water, Perilla Ocymoides Seed Extract and Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract.

How it works
The MD Red-itch Cure Balm is a 60ml balm, used as the final layer of the evening routine, over your usual moisturizer. The antioxidant it is built around is Tocopherol, named thirty-sixth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Cholesterol, Ceramide NP and Phytosphingosine, 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 balm format rather than by the list alone. ILLIYOON sells this Tocopherol balm in Korea, and this is that version.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this balm on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Tocopherol on the list.
- Introduce this balm on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Tocopherol rather than to three changes at once.
