## How it works

Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract leads the ingredient panel on this serum. 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. On this panel it sits alongside Mentha Arvensis (Corn Mint) Leaf Extract. Field mint leaf extract, the plant most menthol is distilled from. The extract is far gentler than the oil and carries a light cooling character.

## How to use

1. Use it by pressing a few drops into skin after toner and before moisturizer, working it into the skin in the position this serum occupies in a full routine, and following up with the next step once it has settled.

## FAQ

### What does Pentylene Glycol do in this formula?

Pentylene Glycol works as both a humectant and a mild antimicrobial helper, supporting the texture and the shelf stability of the finished formula. It sits toward the front of the ingredient list on this product, which is a reasonable signal of how central it is to the formula. Pairing it with the rest of the ingredient list is what gives this serum its particular feel and finish.

### Where does this fit in a routine?

As a serum, this is meant to be used at the point in a layered Korean routine where that step normally sits, applied by pressing a few drops into skin after toner and before moisturizer. Using it out of order will not make it harmful, but it may change how well the following step absorbs. Consistency in where it sits in the routine matters more than the exact minute-by-minute order.

### Is this the same formula sold in Korea?

Yes. Luvum products sold through Korean Pharmacy are sourced as the authentic Korean-market formula, the same version stocked on shelf in Korea, rather than a separate US-facing reformulation many US retailers carry instead. Packaging carries the intact Korean-market barcode and batch code as part of that sourcing. This is the specific gap Luvum shoppers in the US have been left with since Korean import channels tightened.

### How long will one unit last?

How long a serum lasts depends entirely on how much is used per application and how often it is applied, so there is no single number that fits every routine. A smaller, daily-use amount will stretch the unit further than a heavier, occasional application. Checking the fill amount against your own usual per-use amount is the most reliable way to estimate it for your own routine.

### Can this be layered with other actives?

Pentylene Glycol on this ingredient list is not flagged as one that requires special spacing from common actives, so it generally layers into a routine without extra precautions. As with any new product, introducing it on its own for the first few uses is the sensible way to see how your skin responds before adding it alongside other actives. If you use a prescription-strength active elsewhere in your routine, following your own provider's layering guidance takes priority over general routine advice.
