How it works
The Excellent Lotion is a 70ml lotion, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The active it is built around is Allantoin, named eighteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Tocopherol, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract and Centella Asiatica 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 lotion format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the lotion isoi sells in Korea, Allantoin and all.

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 lotion's own ingredient list it is named eighteenth.
Tocopherolantioxidant
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. It is named sixteenth on this lotion's list, alongside Allantoin.
Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extractplant extract
Rosemary Leaf Extract carries rosmarinic and carnosic acids, both effective antioxidants. It is often there to keep the oils in a formula from going rancid. The panel names it twentieth on this lotion's list, beside Allantoin.
Centella Asiatica Extractplant extract
Centella Asiatica is the plant behind the whole cica category, sold as gotu kola or Madagascar centella. Its extract is the anchor of Korean formulas built for easily reddened skin, and its work is done by four triterpenes: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid. The panel names it twenty-third on this lotion's list, beside Allantoin.
Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extractplant extract
Licorice Root Extract carries glabridin and liquiritin. It is one of the classic plant ingredients used for the look of uneven tone and redness, and it appears in almost every brightening formula that avoids synthetic actives. The panel names it twenty-fourth on this lotion's list, beside Allantoin.
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 Allantoin and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market lotion or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Allantoin and all. We match this lotion to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
Does this lotion contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Linalool. 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 lotion is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Allantoin?
Tocopherol, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Extract and Centella Asiatica Extract. The order they are printed in on this lotion's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Allantoin sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Inonotus Obliquus (Mushroom) Extract and Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract.

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 People with dry, flaky skin are more likely to see a benefit from using vitamin E because it enhances moisturization.
