How it works

This 30ml serum handles the serum step: it delivers a targeted dose of its lead ingredients to the areas that need it most. Butylene Glycol is the third ingredient on this product's own manufacturer list of 45, a solvent and humectant used to help carry the other ingredients, which is why the formula reads as more than a generic serum rather than a name-only claim. Used AM and PM, after essence and before moisturizer, it sits in that position of a Korean-style routine, not as a stand-alone product.

Key benefits

  • What it is: a 30ml serum from K-Secret, for the serum step.
  • On the ingredient list: Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Niacinamide, confirmed on this product's own manufacturer list rather than assumed from the category.
  • Fits into the routine: delivers a targeted dose of its lead ingredients to the areas that need it most.
  • Original Korean Formula: the version sold on Korean shelves, not a US reformulation.

  • Topical collagen is a very large molecule that's too big to absorb into the skin.

  • Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.
