## How it works

The capsules suspended in this cream keep part of the formula separate until you apply it, which is a formulation decision rather than decoration, and it is why the cream is pressed rather than rubbed. As a cream it is the sealing step, so it goes on last and holds everything under it in place through the day or night. Putting the tone work in the cream is sensible design, because the cream is the step almost nobody skips on a tired evening. That is the difference from adding a tone serum to a plain moisturizer, which does more but is one more thing to keep up. What you can judge is whether the face reads more even in the same light over weeks.

## How to use

1. Apply it last, after toner and serum, while the layers underneath are still slightly damp.
2. Press a small amount over the face and keep pressing until the capsules have broken down evenly.
3. Let it settle for a minute before makeup or sunscreen goes on over the top.
4. Do not rub it in hard circles, since pressing is what breaks the capsules down rather than balling them up.

## FAQ

### What are the capsules for?

They keep part of the formula separate until the moment you apply it, which is why the instruction is to press rather than rub. They break down under gentle pressure and disappear into the cream. You judge the product on how the face reads over weeks, not on the capsules themselves.

### Where does it go in my routine?

Last, after toner and serum, morning and night. Everything thinner goes on before it. In the morning your sunscreen goes on once the cream has settled for a minute, and that layer matters more than usual with anything doing tone work.

### Do I still need a tone serum?

Not necessarily. For mild unevenness a cream doing the job is enough and much easier to keep up. For stubborn dark marks a dedicated serum underneath will do more, since a serum can carry a more focused formula than a cream that also has to seal.

### Will it pill under makeup?

It can if you rub rather than press, or if you move on before the capsules have broken down. Press until the surface reads even, wait a minute, then apply the next layer. If it still balls up, use less rather than dropping the step.

### Is this the Korean-market formula?

Yes. This is the Original Korean Formula size, the same one sold on Korean shelves.
