How it works
The Forest For Men Fresh Lotion is a 140ml lotion, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The ferment it is built around is Aureobasidium Pullulans Ferment, named twentieth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Tocopherol, so the ferment is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Aureobasidium Pullulans Ferment stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the lotion format rather than by the list alone. innisfree sells this Aureobasidium Pullulans Ferment lotion in Korea, and this is that version.
Key benefits
- What it is: a 140ml lotion from innisfree, for the moisturizing step.
- On the ingredient list: Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Tocopherol, confirmed on this product's own manufacturer list rather than assumed from the category.
- Fits into the routine: finishes the routine with a fluid, fast-absorbing layer.
- Original Korean Formula: the version sold on Korean shelves, not a US reformulation.
Inside the formula
Inside the formula
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 Aureobasidium Pullulans Ferment and not three changes at once.
Does this lotion contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Fragrance and Parfum. They sit on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this lotion is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Aureobasidium Pullulans Ferment?
Tocopherol. The order they are printed in on this lotion's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Aureobasidium Pullulans Ferment sits relative to them. Aureobasidium Pullulans Ferment itself is named twentieth on it.
Not on the ingredient list below: denatured or SD alcohol, essential oils, parabens, sulfate surfactants, mineral oil or petrolatum and added color.

21 of 21 explained
- Water/Aqua/Eau solvent
- Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
- Propanediol humectant
- Propanediol is a plant-derived glycol used in place of propylene glycol. It hydrates, carries actives into solution, and gives a lighter, less sticky slip than glycerin at the same strength.
- Glycerin humectant
- Glycerin is the most used humectant in skincare. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and holds it there, and it is one of the very few ingredients whose hydrating effect is settled science rather than marketing. Higher amounts feel tacky, which is why it is usually blended.
- Dimethicone silicone
- Dimethicone is the most used cosmetic silicone. It forms a breathable film that smooths the surface, slows water leaving skin, and gives the slip that makes a primer or cream feel silky. It is inert and does not penetrate.
- Silica absorbent
- Silica is finely milled mineral, essentially very pure sand. It absorbs oil, stops powders clumping and soft-focuses the look of pores and fine lines.
- 1,2-Hexanediol humectant
- 1,2-Hexanediol is a glycol used for two reasons: it holds water like glycerin, and it makes a formula harder for microbes to live in, so less traditional preservative is needed. Korean formulas use it heavily for that second reason.
- Vinyl Dimethicone/Methicone Silsesquioxane Crosspolymer silicone
- A silicone elastomer powder. It changes how light falls on skin so texture looks softer, absorbs a little oil, and leaves a dry velvet finish.
- Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer thickener
- This is a synthetic thickener that gels quickly and holds an emulsion stable across a wide pH range. It gives a light, non-tacky body.
- Polysorbate 20 emulsifier
- Polysorbate 20 is a solubiliser: it dissolves small amounts of oil or fragrance into a watery formula so nothing separates or floats.
- Carbomer thickener
- Carbomer is a synthetic polymer that only gels once a base neutralises it, which is why arginine or tromethamine sits nearby on the list. It gives the clear, non-stringy gel texture a xanthan formula cannot reach.
- Polyacrylate-13 thickener
- Polyacrylate-13 is a pre-neutralised thickener that gels instantly and holds an emulsion together, so a formula can be built without heat.
- Fragrance/Parfum fragrance
- Fragrance, or Parfum, is a single declaration standing for a whole scent blend, which can be dozens of materials. Regulators allow it as a trade secret, so a list showing only this word does not say what the scent is made of. It is the most common trigger named by people with reactive skin.
9 more explained
- Tromethamine pH adjuster
- Tromethamine neutralises acidic thickeners such as carbomer so they gel, and holds a formula near skin-friendly pH. It is used at a fraction of a percent.
- Glyceryl Caprylate emulsifier
- Glyceryl Caprylate is a mild emulsifier that also makes a formula less hospitable to microbes, so it is often part of a preservative-free system.
- Polyisobutene film former
- Polyisobutene is a synthetic polymer that forms a flexible, water-resistant film. It gives gloss and holds a formula in place, which is why it appears in lip products and long-wear textures.
- Ethylhexylglycerin preservative booster
- Ethylhexylglycerin softens skin and boosts a preservative system, which is why it is nearly always sitting beside phenoxyethanol or 1,2-hexanediol. It also cuts down the odour bacteria produce, so it turns up in deodorising products.
- Disodium EDTA chelator
- EDTA is a chelator: it locks up trace metal ions from water and packaging that would otherwise turn a formula cloudy, off-colour or rancid. It does nothing to skin and appears at a fraction of a percent.
- Butylene Glycol humectant
- Butylene Glycol is a small glycol that does two jobs at once: it holds water in the top layer of skin and it dissolves plant extracts and actives that plain water cannot. It also thins a formula, which is why watery Korean essences lean on it.
- Sorbitan Isostearate emulsifier
- Sorbitan Isostearate is a mild emulsifier that holds water into oil, the direction a cleansing balm or an oil-based cream needs.
- Aureobasidium Pullulans Ferment ferment
- A ferment of the yeast-like fungus that pullulan is made from. It yields water-holding beta-glucans and is used as a conditioning ferment.
- Tocopherol antioxidant
- 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.

How to use
- Apply it after toner or serum, morning and night. Warm a coin-sized amount between the palms and press it into the face and neck rather than dragging it across dry skin, and follow with a heavier cream on top only if your skin wants more.
Worth knowing
- Very dry skin may still want a heavier cream layered on top of this lotion rather than using it alone.
- Patch test on the inner arm first if you are new to the brand or line.
