How it works
IOPE UV shield Sun Ampoule SPF50+ PA+++ 40ml is the Korean-market formula IOPE sells on shelves in Korea, built as a sun formula rather than a US-shelf reformulation. Niacinamide is a tone and texture ingredient that is one of the most widely used actives in current Korean formulas. On this formula's own ingredient list it sits listed after the base and thickeners, still well within the formula's active portion. Allantoin is a soothing agent commonly paired with actives to keep a formula comfortable on the skin. On this formula's own ingredient list it sits listed further down the ingredient panel, in a supporting amount. Adenosine is the anti-wrinkle functional ingredient Korea's own cosmetic regulator recognizes at this exact name. On this formula's own ingredient list it sits listed near the end of the panel, in a finishing amount rather than a lead one. Tocopherol is a vitamin E form used across Korean formulas as an antioxidant and stabilizing ingredient. On this formula's own ingredient list it sits listed near the end of the panel, in a finishing amount rather than a lead one. Together, Niacinamide, Allantoin, Adenosine and Tocopherol give this sun formula its working character rather than any single ingredient carrying the formula alone.

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.
