For redness, irritation, and a compromised skin barrier.

The TikTok-viral, multi-award-winning lotion from ongredients, a Korean clean-beauty brand built on the philosophy of "one is enough." Rather than stacking dozens of actives, they focus on a small number of genuinely effective ingredients, and this lotion is the result. Clinically tested to soothe irritation by 66.63 percent and reduce moisture loss by 84.72 percent after just one use, in testing conducted on 21 Korean women by the Korean Institute of Dermatological Sciences.

The formula runs on what the brand calls a three-step system. Centella asiatica calms irritation and reduces the effects of sun damage. The patented NB P-Complex (four fermented botanicals including mulukhiyah, yerba mate, borage, and purple carrot) nourishes and reinforces the barrier against environmental stress. A 9-peptide complex forms a light moisture barrier on the surface that reduces water loss and supports elasticity over time. The texture is a lightweight, essence-like, silk-textured lotion that absorbs fast without stickiness or heaviness, layers beautifully under makeup, and suits dry, sensitive, and redness-prone skin especially well. Hypoallergenic, vegan, PETA-certified, and free from parabens, sulfates, and artificial fragrance.

Key Ingredients

Centella Asiatica Extract A favourite ingredient in Korean skincare. Nutrient-rich and clinically recognised for hydrating skin, reducing the effects of sun damage, and repairing the protective barrier. NB P-Complex (Mulukhiyah, Yerba Mate, Borage, Purple Carrot) The patented fermented-botanical blend at the centre of the formula. Protects, nourishes, and hydrates the skin while reinforcing the barrier for greater resilience against external stress. 9-Peptide Complex (Including Copper Tripeptide-1 and Tripeptide-1) A multi-peptide blend that forms a light moisture barrier on the skin surface, reducing water loss and supporting elasticity over time. Coptis Japonica Root Extract A traditional calming botanical that supports the soothing effect of the formula, particularly for reactive or redness-prone skin. Arginine and Glycerin A hydrating duo that pulls moisture into the skin and keeps the lightweight lotion texture genuinely moisturising rather than merely refreshing.

How to Use

After cleansing and any serum steps, dispense a small amount into your hands. Spread across the face, massaging lightly until fully absorbed. Apply twice daily, as the final step of your morning and evening routine. If skin feels especially dry, apply an extra layer, particularly in winter, or layer a heavier cream on top to seal in the hydration. Follow with SPF in the morning. Tip: This works well as a light, all-in-one moisturiser on its own for combination or oily skin, but if you have very dry skin, do not stop here. Layer it under a richer cream to lock in the barrier-repair work, especially in cold or dry weather. Many reviewers with dry skin find the biggest difference comes from combining this lotion with an occlusive cream rather than relying on the lotion alone.
