How it works
Menthyl Lactate leads the ingredient panel on this formula. Menthyl Lactate is a menthol derivative that gives a cooling sensation without menthol's sharpness or scent. It is a sensory ingredient rather than an active. On this panel it sits alongside Allantoin, Adenosine and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate. 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.

Key actives
Menthyl Lactate
Menthyl Lactate is a menthol derivative that gives a cooling sensation without menthol's sharpness or scent. It is a sensory ingredient rather than an active.
Allantoin
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.
Adenosine
Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated.
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is the licorice fraction Korean formulas use for the look of redness, and it is far more stable in water than the whole extract.
What does Allantoin do in this skincare formula?
Allantoin sits within the first ten ingredients as a settling, comfort-focused ingredient common across Korean toners and creams.
Is Adenosine also in this formula?
Adenosine sits within the first ten ingredients. It is a wrinkle-care ingredient in Korea, included here for fine-line support rather than as a filler. It sits alongside Allantoin on MEDIHEAL's ingredient list for this product.
How is this skincare formula used in a routine?
Apply to cleansed skin as directed and follow with the next step of a routine. It works as a routine step suited to the format of the product.
Who is this skincare formula suited for?
Sensitive skin, Normal skin are the best fit for this skincare formula. Patch test on the inner arm before first full use, as with any new skincare product.

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.
