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 seventh.
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. The panel names it thirteenth on this gel cream's list, beside Allantoin.
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5peptide
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 is a fatted three-amino-acid peptide used for the look of firmness and fine lines. The palmitoyl tail is what lets it cross an oily surface. It is named twenty-fifth on this gel cream's list, alongside Allantoin.
Chondrus Crispus Extractplant extract
Chondrus Crispus is Irish moss, a red seaweed. It is loaded with carrageenan, so it hydrates and thickens at once, and it leaves a cushioned, slippery film. It is named sixth on this gel cream's list, alongside Allantoin.
Euterpe Oleracea (Acai) Fruit Extractplant extract
Acai fruit extract, from the Amazonian palm berry. It carries anthocyanins, the same purple pigment polyphenols found in blueberry, and is used as a plant antioxidant. The panel names it fifteenth on this gel cream's list, beside 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.
What else is on the list besides Allantoin?
Adenosine, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 and Chondrus Crispus 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: Euterpe Oleracea (Acai) Fruit Extract, Vaccinium Angustifolium Fruit Extract and Vaccinium Macrocarpon (Cranberry) Fruit Extract.

How it works
The Bulgarian Rose Pore Tightening Fresh 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 seventh on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Adenosine, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-5 and Chondrus Crispus 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
- Patch test this gel cream on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Allantoin on the list.
- Introduce this gel cream on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Allantoin rather than to three changes at once.

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 In skin, different peptides can encourage different things, from collagen formation to a reduction in inflammation to helping with wound healing depending on their structure.
