Key actives
Biosaccharide Gum-1
Biosaccharide Gum-1 is a fermentation-derived sugar polymer that binds to skin and holds a moisture film in place. It gives a silky, non-tacky feel.
Hamamelis Virginiana Extract
Witch hazel extract, the classic astringent plant. Its tannins bind to surface proteins, which is the tightening feel a toner built on it gives.
How to use
- Use the Dry Essence Hand Pack after toner, in place of your serum step, in the evening.
- After washing your hands, towel dry. Wear the hand pack and wait for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Take it off at the time printed on the pack, pat in the essence left behind rather than rinsing, then go straight to your moisturizer.
- Two or three evenings a week is a normal rhythm. Do not leave it on past its time; a sheet that has gone dry takes moisture back off the face as it goes.
Where does this fit in a routine?
As a cream, this is meant to be used at the point in a layered Korean routine where that step normally sits, applied by smoothing it over the face as the last step of the routine. Using it consistently at that point in the routine is what lets its effect build over repeated use. It is designed to work alongside the other steps around it rather than replace them.
Is this the same formula sold in Korea?
Yes. Petitfee 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 Petitfee shoppers in the US have been left with since Korean import channels tightened.
How long will one unit last?
How long a cream lasts depends 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.
How is this different from the US version of the brand?
Many US retailers carry a reformulated version of Petitfee built to different regulatory or cost targets than the version sold in Korea. Korean Pharmacy sources this specific SKU as the Korean-market formula instead, which is the version Petitfee sells on shelf in Seoul. That is the whole reason a shopper looking for the authentic formula would buy it here rather than from a general US retailer.
