- Korean GS1 barcode matched against a Korea sourcing supplier's record for this item

## How it works

The panel on this cream names eight forms of peptide rather than one: Arginine/Lysine Polypeptide, Acetyl Tetrapeptide-9, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Oligopeptide-107, SH-Oligopeptide-1, Copper Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7. A polypeptide built from the amino acids arginine and lysine. It holds water strongly and leaves a smoothing film. On this panel it sits alongside Niacinamide, Glutathione and Allantoin. Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.

## How to use

1. Use it as the moisturizer step, AM and PM, as the last step of the routine, giving it a moment to settle before the next step.

## FAQ

### 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 cream 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 Arginine/Lysine Polypeptide do in this formula?

A polypeptide built from the amino acids arginine and lysine. It holds water strongly and leaves a smoothing film. It is named on this product's own ingredient panel.

### What does Niacinamide do in this formula?

Niacinamide supports an even-looking skin tone and works alongside the formula's humectants to keep the surface comfortable. It is one of the most studied actives in Korean formulation for tone evenness and is gentle enough for daily AM and PM use. It sits at its own position on this product's own ingredient list rather than being assumed from the product name.
