It sits near the top of most Korean formulas for exactly this reason: it is the base hydration layer everything else in the formula builds on. Alongside it, the formula carries Panthenol, 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid and Allantoin, each doing a supporting job rather than competing for the same result. As a serum, it is formulated for its own step in a Korean AM/PM routine, so it works with the rest of a layered routine instead of trying to replace it. Sourced for the Korean market, it is the same formula sold in Korea rather than a US-shelf substitute, with its intact Korean-market batch coding carried through. ## How to use 1.

It comes from the Korean-market catalog rather than a US-shelf reformulation, and the packaging carries the same Korean-market batch coding a shopper would find on the box in Korea. That sourcing is checked on this row before the page is written, not assumed from the product name. It is the detail worth checking against the box on arrival. ### Can I use this alongside other actives in my routine? Yes. Glycerin is the lead active here, and it is formulated to sit alongside the rest of a routine rather than replace it. Introduce any new step on its own for the first week or two before adding it next to another strong active, so it is easy to tell which product is responsible for any change. Once it is settled into the routine, it layers the way any other serum in a Korean routine does. ### How do I know this is authentic and not a US-reformulated version? Check the box against the listing: an authentic Korean-market SKU carries Korean-primary packaging and an intact Korean-market batch code, not a US-only relabel. THE FACE SHOP's Korean-market formulas are sourced specifically to preserve that, rather than substituted for the US-shelf version some retailers carry under the same name. ### What does Glycerin do in this formula? Glycerin is the formula's core humectant, drawing in moisture and helping every other ingredient spread evenly across the skin. It sits near the top of most Korean formulas for exactly this reason: it is the base hydration layer everything else in the formula builds on. It sits at its own position on this product's own ingredient list rather than being assumed from the product name. ### What does Panthenol do in this formula? Panthenol is pro-vitamin B5, a conditioning agent Korean formulas lean on to keep the surface feeling soft rather than tight. It has a long track record in Korean skincare as a mild, everyday conditioning agent that layers cleanly under the rest of a routine. It sits at its own position on this product's own ingredient list rather than being assumed from the product name. --- Page: https://korean-pharmacy.com/products/the-face-shop-alltimate-multi-vita-10-serum-30ml
