How it works
The GOLDEN GLOW FACE OIL is a 40ml face oil. The active it is built around is Adenosine, named eighteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Prunus Mume Fruit Extract and Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Adenosine stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the face oil format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the face oil IOPE sells in Korea, Adenosine and all.

Key actives
Adenosineactive
Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated. On this face oil's own ingredient list it is named eighteenth.
Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extractplant extract
Scutellaria Baicalensis is Chinese skullcap. Its root extract carries baicalin, a well studied plant antioxidant, and it is used for the look of redness. The panel names it tenth on this face oil's list, beside Adenosine.
Prunus Mume Fruit Extractplant extract
Korean plum extract, from the fruit used to make maesil syrup. It is acidic and carries organic acids and polyphenols. The panel names it fifteenth on this face oil's list, beside Adenosine.
Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extractplant extract
Sea Buckthorn Fruit Extract is high in vitamin C and carotenoids, which give it a strong orange colour. It is used as an antioxidant extract. It is named sixteenth on this face oil's list, alongside Adenosine.
Nelumbo Nucifera Flower Extractplant extract
Lotus flower extract, from the same sacred lotus as the leaf. It carries flavonoids and sugars and is used as a conditioning, hydrating extract. It is named nineteenth on this face oil's list, alongside Adenosine.
Is this the Korean-market face oil or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Adenosine and all. We match this face oil to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
Does this face oil contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Fragrance. It sits 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 face oil is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Adenosine?
Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Prunus Mume Fruit Extract and Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract. The order they are printed in on this face oil's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Adenosine sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Nelumbo Nucifera Flower Extract, Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Extract and Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil.

How to use
- Use it at the end of a routine, over any cream, so nothing has to pass through it.
- Two or three drops warmed in the palms is a whole face, pressed on with flat hands.
- Go heavier on dry areas and lighter across the nose and forehead if those get shiny.
- Avoid mixing it into the same palm as a water based serum, since the two do not layer and you get pilling instead.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on a small area first and wait a day before full use, especially the first time.
