Key ingredients
These are the ingredients medicube highlights for this product, cross-checked against general dermatological and cosmetic-chemistry sources, not a full INCI list.
Fragrance: Not fragrance-free: the published ingredient list includes fragrance (parfum).
| Ingredient | What it is | What it does for skin |
|---|---|---|
| Niacinamide | A form of vitamin B3, one of the most studied ingredients in cosmetic dermatology. | Strengthens the skin barrier by boosting ceramide production, helps even out tone by limiting pigment transfer to skin cells, and can reduce the look of enlarged pores. |
| 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid | A more stable, gentler derivative of vitamin C. | Converts to active vitamin C once in the skin; brightens and fights free radicals with less irritation risk than pure ascorbic acid. |
| Ascorbic Acid | Pure vitamin C, the classic reference form and among the most extensively studied, though prone to oxidizing (degrading) once opened. | A strong antioxidant that helps brighten and even skin tone; actual potency depends heavily on concentration, pH, and formulation, which isn't always disclosed, so it isn't automatically stronger than a stable derivative at an adequate dose. |
| Sodium hyaluronate | The salt form of hyaluronic acid, commonly used for its water solubility and stability in formulas; molecular weight varies by product rather than being uniformly smaller. | Draws and holds moisture the same way hyaluronic acid does; how easily it absorbs depends on the specific molecular weight used, which formulas don't always disclose. |
| Panthenol | Pro-vitamin B5, which converts to pantothenic acid once absorbed into skin. | Hydrates as a humectant, supports wound healing, and has anti-inflammatory, soothing effects on irritated skin. |
| Adenosine | A compound naturally present in skin cells, used in skincare as an anti-aging active. | Recognized by South Korea's MFDS as a functional anti-wrinkle ingredient at 0.04% concentration, based on clinical studies showing measurable fine-line improvement; a real but modest effect, not a retinoid substitute. |
| Tocopherol | The chemical name for vitamin E as typically used in skincare formulas. | Helps neutralize free radicals from UV and pollution exposure and supports the skin's moisture barrier. |
| Glycerin | A humectant naturally present in skin, one of the most well-established moisturizing ingredients. | Draws water into the skin's outer layer, helping maintain hydration and support the barrier. |
