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 gel cream's own ingredient list it is named seventeenth.
Sophora Flavescens Root Extractplant extract
Kushen root extract, a bitter traditional herbal ingredient carrying alkaloids and flavonoids. Korean formulas use it in scalp and blemish-focused products. The panel names it fourth on this gel cream's list, beside Allantoin.
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. The panel names it fifth on this gel cream's list, beside Allantoin.
Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extractplant extract
Willow Bark Extract carries salicin, the plant compound salicylic acid is related to. The two are not interchangeable: willow bark is a mild clarifying extract, not a BHA exfoliant at the levels used in cosmetics. It is named seventh on this gel cream's list, alongside Allantoin.
Cinnamomum Cassia Bark Extractplant extract
Cassia cinnamon bark extract, a traditional herbal ingredient carrying cinnamaldehyde and tannins. It is used in warming, antioxidant-rich blends. It is named eighth on this gel cream's list, alongside Allantoin.
How to use
- Apply as the last step of your routine, morning and night, smoothing over the face and neck until absorbed.
Where does this gel cream go in my routine?
As the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. Anything thinner than a gel cream 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 gel cream or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Allantoin and all. We match this gel cream to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
Does this gel cream contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Citral and Citronellol. 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 gel cream is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Allantoin?
Sophora Flavescens Root Extract, Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract and Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract. The order they are printed in on this gel cream's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Allantoin sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Cinnamomum Cassia Bark Extract, Origanum Vulgare Leaf Extract and Chamaecyparis Obtusa Leaf Extract.

How it works
The Acni Dr. 1st Speedy Gel Cream is a 50ml gel cream, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The active it is built around is Allantoin, named seventeenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Sophora Flavescens Root Extract, Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract and Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, 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 gel cream format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the gel cream isoi sells in Korea, Allantoin and all.
Worth knowing
- Introduce any new product gradually rather than adding several new steps to a routine at once, so a reaction is easy to trace back to the right cause.
- Patch test on a small area first and wait a day before applying it to the full face, especially the first time you use it.
