- On the ingredient list: Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Niacinamide, confirmed on this product's own manufacturer list rather than assumed from the category.
- Fits into the routine: finishes the routine and seals in everything applied underneath it.
- Original Korean Formula: the version sold on Korean shelves, not a US reformulation.

## How it works

Putting this family of ingredients into a cream rather than a serum changes the experience rather than the intent: the cream base is doing the sealing work at the same time, which is why fewer people find it drying in the first weeks. It is still a night only step, since these ingredients are broken down by light and the routine assumes sunscreen the next morning. Because the cream is the last step, there is nothing to layer over it, which also removes the temptation to stack a second strong product on the same evening. That is the difference from a retinoid serum plus a separate cream, which gives more control over the dose but takes more managing. What you can judge is whether fine texture reads softer after two or three months.

## How to use

1. Apply it last at night, after your toner and serum, pressing a small amount over the face.
2. Keep it off the eyelids and the corners of the mouth, where skin is thinnest and reacts first.
3. Do not use it in the morning or alongside an exfoliating product, since light breaks this family down and stacking causes flushing.

## FAQ

### Why choose a cream over a serum?

Because the cream base is doing the sealing work at the same time, which is why fewer people find it drying in the early weeks. A serum gives more control over the dose. If a retinoid serum left your face flaking, this is the format worth trying next.

### Where does it go in my routine?

Last, at night, after your toner and serum. There is nothing to layer over it, which also stops you stacking a second strong product on the same evening. Never use it in the morning, since light breaks this family of ingredients down.

### How do I build it up?

Gradually, adding nights only while there is no flaking or stinging, with a plain moisturizer on the nights in between. Most people who abandon this category went nightly from the start and stopped within a week without learning whether it suited them.

### Do I need sunscreen with it?

Yes, every single morning. This kind of routine assumes that last layer is going on, and freshly turned over surface skin is more sensitive to light. If daily sunscreen is not something you will commit to, a gentler night cream is the better choice than starting here.

### Is this the Korean-market formula?

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