## How it works

Allantoin is named on the ingredient panel on this cream. 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. On this panel it sits alongside Lycium Chinense Fruit Extract, Ziziphus Jujuba Fruit Extract and Carnosine. Goji berry fruit extract, the gugija brewed as tea in Korea. It carries carotenoids and polysaccharides and is used as an antioxidant conditioning extract.

## How to use

1. Use the Essential Firming Cream EX Mini as the last skincare step, in the evening, over serum.
2. At the last step of day/night time skin care routine, apply a moderate amount of the cream to face and neck and gently massage the skin for absorption.
3. It closes the routine at night, and in the morning it is the layer sunscreen goes over.
4. Twice a day. Do not skip it on an oily day; without a sealing layer the water the steps beneath it brought in leaves again.

## FAQ

### Is this the same formula sold in Korea, or a version made for the US market?

This is the Korean-market formula, the same one sold on shelves in Korea, not a separate version reformulated for US retail.

### Where does Essential Firming Cream EX Mini go in a routine?

It belongs the last step of a routine, applied after serum and before sunscreen in the morning. Placing it earlier or later than that changes how it feels going on and how well the steps around it perform, so it is worth following that order rather than treating it as interchangeable with a different type of product.

### Is this suited to my skin type?

It is formulated with normal skin, dry skin, combination skin, and skin that runs sensitive in mind, and it does not lean on a heavy fragrance load or a harsh surfactant base to do its job. If your skin is easily reactive, patch test on a small area first before working it into a full routine.

### Is this product fragranced?

Yes, this formula's own ingredient list includes Fragrance, listed as Parfum. If you are sensitive to added scent or prefer a fragrance-free routine, this is worth knowing before you build it into daily use.

### Who should be careful with this product, or wait before trying it?

A rich cream applied over unabsorbed serum can pill; give each step a minute to sink in first. Beyond that, anyone new to the brand or the format should patch test on a small area first rather than applying it across the whole face on day one.
