  • under 0.01% 0
  • 0.01–0.1% 7
  • 0.1–1% 1
  • 1% or more 0

Amounts are mostly stated by products named after the ingredient, so they may lean towards token amounts.

1,420 products are filed with Korea's MFDS as wrinkle care functional cosmetics, which fixes it at the notified amount (0.04%) or more.

Of the products containing it, 866 list it before the 1% line and 2,969 after it (usually 1% or less).

Where no amount is stated, a product listing it early reaches the study amount about 61% of the time, one listing it late about 50%.
