03

Ingredient breakdown

INGREDIENTS

Hydrolyzed Collagen Extract 58.69%Proven

Ultra-low molecular weight French collagen (under 300 daltons) is broken into peptide fragments small enough to penetrate skin's surface—not just sit on top. Acts as a humectant, film-former, and hydrator.

  • Source: A 2021 clinical study in 1,125 participants aged 20–70 found hydrolyzed collagen improved skin elasticity and reduced wrinkle appearance.
  • Brand claim: 91.9% absorption rate measured against conventional collagen at 30 minutes.
Even if topical collagen doesn't directly replace dermal collagen, it acts as a powerful humectant—boosting hydration which is closely linked to elasticity and wrinkle smoothing.

Volufiline™ (Hydrogenated Polyisobutene + Anemarrhena Asphodeloides Root Extract) 5%Proven

A patented anti-aging active by French lab Sederma, designed to support adipocyte volume in the dermis, creating a plumping, "filler-like" effect on fine lines and hollow areas.

  • Source: Sederma's in-vivo study reported a measurable increase in skin volume after 56 days of twice-daily use of 3% Volufiline.
  • Concentration here: 50,000ppm (5%)—at or above the manufacturer-recommended efficacy level.

Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) 2%Proven

A multi-tasking active that strengthens the moisture barrier, reduces transepidermal water loss, evens tone, and minimizes the look of pores. Pairs well with virtually every other skincare ingredient.

  • Source: Multiple peer-reviewed studies (Hakozaki et al., Bissett et al.) confirm 2–5% niacinamide reduces hyperpigmentation, improves elasticity, and reduces redness.
  • Why 2%: A clinically effective dose that's gentle enough for sensitive skin and pregnancy-safe.

Multi-Weight Hyaluronic Acid Complex ~0.5%Proven

Eight forms of HA—Sodium Hyaluronate, Hyaluronic Acid, Hydrolyzed HA, Sodium Acetylated Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Sodium Hyaluronate, Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer, Potassium Hyaluronate, and Hydroxypropyltrimonium Hyaluronate—deliver hydration at multiple skin depths.

  • Source: Low-molecular HA penetrates deeper for plumping, while high-molecular HA forms a hydrating film on the surface.
  • Synergy: Combined HA weights provide both immediate plumping and sustained hydration.

Adenosine ~0.04%Proven

A Korea-MFDS-approved anti-wrinkle active. Naturally occurring nucleoside that signals fibroblasts to support collagen synthesis and reduces the appearance of expression lines.

  • Source: South Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety has approved adenosine as a functional anti-wrinkle ingredient at 0.04%.
  • Synergy: Works alongside collagen and Volufiline to support overall skin firmness.

17 Amino Acid Complex PatentedPromising

Includes Glycine, Proline, Serine, Glutamic Acid, Leucine, Lysine, Arginine, Valine, Alanine, Aspartic Acid, Threonine, Isoleucine, Tyrosine, Phenylalanine, Histidine, Cysteine, and Methionine—the building blocks of collagen and elastin.

  • Source: Amino acids are natural moisturizing factors (NMFs); studies show glycine, proline, and leucine combinations may help improve wrinkle appearance.
  • Function: Hydrate, support barrier function, and provide raw materials for skin's own collagen production.

Tocopherol (Vitamin E) ~0.1%Proven

A lipid-soluble antioxidant that protects skin from free radical damage and works synergistically with vitamin C and other antioxidants to defend against environmental aging.

  • Source: Decades of dermatology research confirm topical vitamin E reduces oxidative stress in skin.
  • Bonus: Acts as a natural preservative, helping stabilize the formula.

How to use

HOW TO USE
1

Shake the Bottle

Shake well for 5–10 seconds to mix the upper cream layer with the lower serum layer—this activates the dual formula.

2

Cleanse and Tone

Apply to freshly cleansed and toned skin—damp skin enhances absorption of the collagen molecules.

3

Dispense 2–3 Drops

Use a pea-sized amount (2–3 drops) into your palm. A little goes a long way thanks to the concentrated formula.

4

Pat & Press

Gently pat onto face and neck, focusing on areas with fine lines, hollow spots, or sagging. Avoid rubbing.

5

Lock In With Moisturizer

Follow with your favorite moisturizer to seal in the actives. Use sunscreen in the morning to protect your investment.

06

Who is it for?

WHO

Perfect for you if:

  • You're 25+ and starting preventative anti-aging care
  • You have visible fine lines, dehydration lines, or early wrinkles
  • You want a hydrating serum that doesn't feel heavy or sticky
  • You have sensitive or reactive skin and avoid retinoids
  • You're pregnant or breastfeeding and need gentle anti-aging
  • You want to layer with other actives without irritation
  • You're chasing the "glass skin" look

Consider alternatives if:

  • You're vegan (formula contains animal-derived collagen and elastin)
  • You want dramatic wrinkle reduction—retinol/retinal will be stronger
  • You prefer thick, occlusive cream textures
  • You have severe acne and avoid all hydrogenated oils
  • You want a single-ingredient minimalist product
  • You react to niacinamide (rare but possible)

Skin type compatibility

SKIN TYPES
Dry Skin
Excellent

Layered humectants, multi-weight HA, and amino acids deliver deep, long-lasting hydration without heaviness.

Oily Skin
Good

Lightweight, fast-absorbing texture. Niacinamide helps balance sebum, but a lighter moisturizer is recommended on top.

Combination
Excellent

Hydrates dry zones without overwhelming the T-zone. Niacinamide refines pores; collagen plumps drier areas.

Sensitive
Excellent

Fragrance-free, EWG Green-rated, and dermatologically tested for delicate skin. A patch test is still wise.

Acne-Prone
Excellent

Non-comedogenic and fungal-acne safe. Niacinamide helps regulate oil and reduce post-acne marks.

Mature Skin
Excellent

Volufiline, collagen, adenosine, and amino acids form a strong anti-aging trio for fine lines, sagging, and loss of firmness.

Frequently asked questions

FAQ

Yes—the formula contains no retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, or chemical sunscreen filters that are typically flagged during pregnancy and breastfeeding. The actives (collagen, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, adenosine, and amino acids) are widely considered safe. As with any product, we recommend consulting your OB/GYN or dermatologist if you have specific concerns.

Yes. We checked the full INCI against the most commonly cited fungal acne triggers and found none of the problematic fatty acids, esters, polysorbates, or fermented ingredients. The hydrogenated polyisobutene in Volufiline is a synthetic hydrocarbon and is generally considered Malassezia-safe.

Yes—it actually pairs beautifully with all of them. Niacinamide layers safely with vitamin C in modern formulations, and the hydrating actives buffer the irritation potential of retinol, AHAs, and BHAs. A common routine: actives first (vitamin C in AM, retinol in PM), then this serum, then moisturizer.

It performs best on dry, mature, dehydrated, and combination skin, and is also well-suited to sensitive and acne-prone skin thanks to its non-comedogenic, fragrance-free formula. Oily skin types may want a lightweight gel moisturizer on top instead of a heavy cream.

Hydration and plumping are visible immediately (within minutes). Texture and tone improvements typically appear after 1–2 weeks of consistent twice-daily use. Visible fine line softening from Volufiline tends to show around the 4-week mark, with cumulative firmness improvements at 8–12 weeks.

Apply after cleansing, toning, and any watery essences—but before heavier moisturizers, oils, or sunscreen. In the AM: cleanser → toner → essence → this serum → moisturizer → SPF. In the PM: cleanser → toner → essence → treatments (retinol etc.) → this serum → moisturizer.

No—it rates approximately 1/5 on the comedogenic scale. The ingredients are non-comedogenic and the texture is lightweight enough that it absorbs without leaving a residue that could clog pores. It's been tested and is suitable for acne-prone skin.

The Period After Opening (PAO) is 12 months, indicated by the "12M" symbol on the packaging. Once opened, store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and use within a year for best efficacy. With twice-daily use, a 30ml bottle typically lasts 5–8 weeks.

— Skincarisma verdict
4.5 / 5 ★★★★★

Verdict: Sungboon Editor's Deep Collagen Anti-Wrinkle Cream In Serum is one of the strongest gentle anti-aging serums coming out of K-beauty right now. The combination of 58.69% ultra-low molecular collagen, 5% Volufiline, 2% niacinamide, and a 17 amino acid complex is unusually generous at this price point, and the fragrance-free, non-comedogenic, pregnancy-safe formula makes it accessible to almost every skin type—including sensitive and acne-prone. The dual-layer cream-in-serum format is genuinely useful: it delivers the bouncy, glass-skin hydration you'd expect from a Korean essence with the visible plumping action of a high-end firming serum. The main drawbacks are the small 30ml size (most users finish a bottle in 5–8 weeks) and the inclusion of animal-derived collagen, which makes it unsuitable for vegans. If you're looking for retinol-level dramatic wrinkle reversal, this isn't it—but as a daily, layerable, multi-tasking treatment that visibly plumps skin and pairs with everything in your routine, it's an exceptional pick.

lightbulb What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?

Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.

We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.

muscle Pro Tip Alert!

Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.

question
lightbulb What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?

Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.

muscle Pro Tip Alert!

EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
