## How it works

Beta-Carotene is named on the ingredient panel on this serum. Beta-Carotene is an orange plant pigment and a vitamin A precursor. It is used as an antioxidant and it tints a formula, which is often why it is there. On this panel it sits alongside Avena Sativa (Oat) Meal Extract and Daucus Carota Sativa (Carrot) Root Extract. Oatmeal extract, carrying the beta-glucan, starch and avenanthramides oats are used for. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily bothered skin.

## How to use

1. Use it as the serum step, AM and PM, after toner and before moisturizer, giving it a moment to settle before the next step.

## FAQ

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

This is the exact Korean-market formula, not a US-shelf reformulation. 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.

### Where does this formula come from?

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.

### What does Beta-Carotene do in this formula?

Beta-Carotene is an orange plant pigment and a vitamin A precursor. It is used as an antioxidant and it tints a formula, which is often why it is there. It is named on this product's own ingredient panel.

### What does Adenosine do in this formula?

Adenosine is Korea's monograph anti-wrinkle functional ingredient, included at a set minimum in cosmetics registered for that claim. Korean regulation requires a minimum concentration for a product to carry an anti-wrinkle functional claim, so its presence signals a formula built for that purpose. It sits at its own position on this product's own ingredient list rather than being assumed from the product name.
