## How it works

Papain leads the ingredient panel on this exfoliant. Papain is a protein-cutting enzyme from papaya. Enzyme exfoliants act on protein rather than on the bonds an acid targets, and they need water to work, which is why they suit powder washes.

## How to use

1. Use it as the routine step, AM and PM, worked into the wider routine, giving it a moment to settle before the next step.

## Ingredients

Water/Eau, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, PEG-8, Steartrimonium Methosulfate, Acrylates/C10-30 Alkyl Acrylate Crosspolymer, Papain, Sodium Hyaluronate, Ethylhexylglycerin, Triethylhexanoin, Cetrimonium Chloride, Isopropyl Alcohol, Parfum/Fragrance

## FAQ

### 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.

### When in a routine should I use this skincare formula?

Use it as the routine step, AM and PM, worked into the wider routine. Placing a skincare formula out of order is the most common reason a Korean routine feels like it is not working, so keep this one at its own step rather than doubling it up with a product built for a different stage. Give it a few weeks at that placement before judging the result.

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

This is the authentic Korean-market version of the formula, not a US-shelf substitute. THE FACE SHOP sells a separate reformulation on some US shelves, and this listing is not that version. The Korean-market batch coding and packaging travel with it, which is the detail worth checking against the box on arrival.

### What does Papain do in this formula?

Papain is a protein-cutting enzyme from papaya. Enzyme exfoliants act on protein rather than on the bonds an acid targets, and they need water to work, which is why they suit powder washes. It is named on this product's own ingredient panel.

### What does Sodium Hyaluronate do in this formula?

Sodium Hyaluronate is the salt form of hyaluronic acid, one of the most efficient water-binding molecules used in skincare. It is the workhorse hydrator behind the plump, dewy finish Korean essences and ampoules are known for. It sits at its own position on this product's own ingredient list rather than being assumed from the product name.
