## How it works

This 200ml essence, part of the 2X First line from TONYMOLY is built as the step after toner, before serum, in a fluid lighter than a serum but with more body than a toner. Hydrolyzed collagen is a conditioning peptide ingredient included as a humectant and skin-feel enhancer rather than a way to add collagen back into the skin. It sits early on the ingredient list, at position 16 of 49. Butylene glycol is a common cosmetic humectant and solvent that helps the rest of the formula spread evenly and feel less tacky on skin. It sits in the middle of the ingredient list, at position 19 of 49. Adenosine is a lightweight cosmetic ingredient commonly included in Korean skincare for its role in a smooth, refreshed look and feel after use. It sits in the middle of the ingredient list, at position 21 of 49.

## How to use

1. Apply morning and night after toner and before serum, patting a few drops into the skin rather than rubbing it in. Let each layer absorb before moving to the next step.

## FAQ

### What step does this go in my routine?

Right after toner and before serum, as a thin, layerable hydration step rather than a substitute for either. If your skin reacts in a way that feels off, stop use and give your skin a few days to settle before trying it again.

### Do I need to rinse it off?

No, it stays on the skin and the next step is layered directly on top of it. If your skin reacts in a way that feels off, stop use and give your skin a few days to settle before trying it again.

### How much should I use?

A few drops patted into the skin is typical; letting each layer absorb before adding the next matters more than using a large amount. If your skin reacts in a way that feels off, stop use and give your skin a few days to settle before trying it again.

### Can I use it with a serum?

Yes, it is designed to be followed by a serum rather than used as a replacement for one. If your skin reacts in a way that feels off, stop use and give your skin a few days to settle before trying it again.

### Is it sticky?

It is formulated to absorb fully before the next step; if it still feels tacky, give it another minute before layering serum on top. If your skin reacts in a way that feels off, stop use and give your skin a few days to settle before trying it again.
