BIRCH JUICE MOISTERIZER

The Round Lab Birch Juice Moisturizing Cream is a cult-favorite in Korea, consistently topping “Best of Beauty” lists. It’s designed for skin that needs deep hydration but hates the heavy, greasy feeling of traditional creams.

Think of it as a “big drink of water” for your face rather than a thick layer of oil.
The Most Important Ingredients

Birch Sap (Betula Platyphylla Japonica Juice): Instead of just plain water, this cream uses sap from the Silver Birch trees of Inje. It is packed with amino acids, minerals, and vitamins that mimic the skin’s natural moisture.

Vita Hyaluronic Acid: A specialized form of Hyaluronic Acid that hydrates the skin while providing a brightening “glow” from the added Vitamin C/E components.

Glyceryl Glucoside: This is a “moisture channel” ingredient. It activates the skin’s Aquaporins (water proteins) to help hydration flow deeper into the skin cells.

Jojoba Esters: These provide lightweight, non-comedogenic (won’t clog pores) nourishment to keep the skin soft.

What It Helps With

Dehydration: It targets that “tight” feeling without making you look shiny.

Temperature Cooling: It has a natural cooling effect, making it excellent for soothing heated, irritated, or sun-exposed skin.

Oil-Water Balance: It’s perfect for Combination and Oily skin because it provides high moisture without high oil content.

Smooth Makeup Base: Because it sinks in so perfectly, it prevents foundation from “pilling” or looking cakey.

HOW TO USE ;
Prep: Apply to slightly damp skin immediately after cleansing to lock in maximum water.

The Technique: Massage a pea-sized amount in circular motions to burst the tiny white moisture capsules so they melt into your skin.

Layering: If your skin feels extra dry, apply a second thin layer only to your cheeks or forehead once the first layer has absorbed.

Morning: It is the perfect “prep” step. Because it isn’t greasy, you can apply it and immediately follow with your Skin1004 Velvet Sunstick. It won’t pill or slide off.

Night: Apply a slightly thicker layer (like a sleeping mask). The birch juice works overnight to reset your skin’s water levels so you wake up with “bouncy” skin.
