Key actives
Sodium Hyaluronate
Sodium Hyaluronate is the salt of hyaluronic acid, and it is what most products labelled hyaluronic actually contain. The salt dissolves more readily and the molecule is smaller, so it sits in the outer layer of skin rather than only on top of it.
Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid
Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid is hyaluronic acid cut into much shorter fragments. The smaller the fragment, the further into the outer layer it can settle, which is why serums stack several sizes together instead of using one.
Hyaluronic Acid
Hyaluronic Acid is a sugar chain the body already makes, and one gram of it can hold several litres of water. In a formula it is a humectant that pulls water to the surface of skin and holds it in a film, which is what makes skin look plumper while it is there.
Clitoria Ternatea Flower Extract
Butterfly pea flower extract, deep blue from its anthocyanins, which is why it colours a formula naturally. It is used as a plant antioxidant.
Pimpinella Anisum (Anise) Fruit Extract
Anise seed extract. It carries the plant's aromatic compounds and is used as a conditioning extract that contributes scent.
Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract
Vanilla bean extract. It carries vanillin, the compound its scent comes from, along with polyphenols, so it contributes fragrance as well as extract.
How to use
- Take a dime-sized amount of Slow Aging Cream 50ml and press it into skin as the final step of your AM and/or PM routine.
When should I apply Slow Aging Cream 50ml, morning, night, or both?
This is formulated for both, as the last step of a standard AM and PM routine after serum or essence. Morning use seals in hydration under SPF and makeup; night use works while skin is in its natural overnight recovery cycle. Most people get the fullest benefit using it consistently at both times rather than just one.
How much Slow Aging Cream 50ml should I use per application?
A dime- to nickel-sized amount is enough for the whole face for most people; press it in rather than rubbing hard. Very dry skin or a cold, dry climate may need slightly more, especially at night. Using more than that mostly sits on the surface rather than absorbing any faster.
Will Slow Aging Cream 50ml feel too heavy or greasy for oily skin?
The finish depends on the specific formula, but a moisturizer's job either way is to seal in the hydration from earlier steps rather than add oil on its own. Oily or combination skin can apply a thinner layer or focus it on drier areas of the face rather than skipping moisturizer entirely. Skipping a moisturizer step usually increases oil production rather than reducing it, since skin overcompensates for the moisture loss.
Can Slow Aging Cream 50ml be used under makeup?
Yes, apply it as the last skincare step and give it a minute or two to settle before starting makeup, since applying foundation over a still-wet cream is what usually causes pilling. If a formula still feels tacky after a couple of minutes, a lighter layer next time will resolve that. It should not interfere with SPF or makeup once it has absorbed.
Is Slow Aging Cream 50ml the authentic Korean-market formula?
Yes, this is the same moisturizer ongredients sells through Korean retail, sourced specifically for Korean Pharmacy's US catalog rather than reformulated for a US shelf. and its original Korean-market batch coding intact. That is the version this brand is actually known for.

How it works
The panel on this cream names three forms of hyaluronic acid rather than one: Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid. Sodium Hyaluronate is the salt of hyaluronic acid, and it is what most products labelled hyaluronic actually contain. The salt dissolves more readily and the molecule is smaller, so it sits in the outer layer of skin rather than only on top of it. On this panel it sits alongside Clitoria Ternatea Flower Extract, Pimpinella Anisum (Anise) Fruit Extract and Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract. Butterfly pea flower extract, deep blue from its anthocyanins, which is why it colours a formula naturally. It is used as a plant antioxidant.
Worth knowing
- This step is not a substitute for a dedicated sunscreen, which should still be the last step of the morning routine.
- Pregnant or breastfeeding shoppers should run any new skincare step past their own physician before adding it.

Hyaluronic acid helps bind water to collagen, which traps water in the skin. That helps make the skin more plump and full-looking.
