Key actives
Allantoinactive
Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin. On this lotion's own ingredient list it is named twentieth.
Tocopheryl Acetateantioxidant
Tocopheryl Acetate is a stable vitamin E ester that skin converts to tocopherol. It is used as an antioxidant and a light emollient and holds up better than plain vitamin E in a formula. The panel names it twenty-seventh on this lotion's list, beside Allantoin.
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 eighteenth on this lotion's list, alongside Allantoin.
Hydrogenated Polydeceneemollient
Hydrogenated Polydecene is a synthetic hydrocarbon emollient used in place of mineral oil. It is stable, has no scent, and gives a cushioned slip without oxidising. It is named seventh on this lotion's list, alongside Allantoin.
Camellia Japonica Seed Oilemollient
Camellia Seed Oil is the traditional Korean and Japanese hair and skin oil, high in oleic acid. It is a light emollient that absorbs quickly for its richness. The panel names it seventeenth on this lotion's list, beside Allantoin.
How to use
- Use it as the last step of a routine (or before a separate night cream at night), sealing in the layers underneath. AM and PM.
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 Allantoin and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market lotion or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Allantoin 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 Allantoin?
Tocopheryl Acetate, Ceramide NP and Hydrogenated Polydecene. The order they are printed in on this lotion's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Allantoin sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Camellia Japonica Seed Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil and Arginine.

How it works
The Daily Moisture Softening Lotion is a 150ml lotion, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The active it is built around is Allantoin, named twentieth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Tocopheryl Acetate, Ceramide NP and Hydrogenated Polydecene, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Allantoin 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 ilso sells in Korea, Allantoin and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this lotion on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Allantoin on the list.
- Introduce this lotion on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Allantoin rather than to three changes at once.

What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
Allantoin can tone down the dryness of the individual cells. It increases the water content of the skin, which means it helps to hydrate and moisturize.
Wilma Bergfeld, MDDermatologist, Cleveland Clinic People with dry, flaky skin are more likely to see a benefit from using vitamin E because it enhances moisturization.
