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 product's own ingredient list it is named eleventh.
Methyl Diisopropyl Propionamideactive
A synthetic cooling agent that gives the cool feeling of menthol without the mint smell. It is used where a formula wants the sensation but not the scent. The panel names it twentieth on this product's list, beside Allantoin.
Succinic Acidactive
Succinic Acid is a small organic acid used for the look of blemish-prone skin and as a pH adjuster. It is far milder than an AHA at the levels used here. The panel names it thirtieth on this product's list, beside Allantoin.
Gluconolactoneexfoliant
Gluconolactone is a PHA, the gentlest exfoliant class. The panel names it twenty-eighth on this product's list, beside Allantoin.
Salicylic Acidexfoliant
It loosens the dead cells that block pores and is used for the look of congested, oily skin. It is named twenty-ninth on this product's list, alongside Allantoin.
How to use
- Sweep across a cleansed face and neck with a cotton pad or press in with clean hands, then continue with the rest of the routine without rinsing.
Is this the Korean-market product or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Allantoin and all. We match this product 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?
Methyl Diisopropyl Propionamide, Succinic Acid and Gluconolactone. The order they are printed in on this product's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Allantoin sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Salicylic Acid, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract and Artemisia Annua Extract.

How it works
The No Problem Spot Softener is a 150g product. The active it is built around is Allantoin, named eleventh on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Methyl Diisopropyl Propionamide, Succinic Acid and Gluconolactone, 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 product format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the product ilso sells in Korea, Allantoin and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this product on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Allantoin on the list.
- Gluconolactone and Salicylic Acid on this list makes this product an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.

What professionals say
What professionals say
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 BHAs like salicylic acid get really deep into the pores, whereas the water-soluble ones don't go as deep.
Samantha Stein, PA-CDermatology physician assistant, Cleveland Clinic
1 more professional perspective
This means that gluconolactone acts as an exfoliating acid, but also as a moisturizer. It has moisturizing, soothing, and lightening properties, working well on dry skin.
