Product Description
Sodium heparin is an unusual ingredient to find in a skincare serum, and it is the one that marks this out from the rest of the category. The Nosca9 Trouble Serum is a 30ml lightweight serum from Fation, a brand developed by Dong-A Pharmaceutical.
Artemisia princeps leaf extract sits first, ahead of water, which is the clearest signal of what the formula prioritises. Mugwort has a long history in Korean skincare for reactive skin, and here it is paired with sodium heparin, Centella Asiatica extract, panthenol and allantoin. Apple fruit extract sits alongside them, and Ceramide NP and tocopherol finish the list. The texture is light and fast-absorbing, and the brand suggests a second way to use it: soak a cotton pad and leave it on a specific area for 20 to 30 minutes.
This suits reactive, blemish-prone and sensitive-feeling skin. The brand states the formula has passed a skin irritation test, and there is no fragrance on the ingredient list.
