| 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. |
| 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. |
| Hyaluronic acid | A humectant naturally found in skin, capable of holding many times its weight in water. | Draws moisture into the skin's surface, helping it look and feel plumper and more hydrated. |
| Ceramide NP | One specific, well-studied type of ceramide used in skincare formulas. | Reinforces the skin barrier and helps it retain moisture, the same core ceramide function. |
| 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. |
| Beta-glucan | A polysaccharide often derived from oats or yeast. | A soothing, hydrating ingredient studied for calming sensitive skin and supporting the barrier. |
| Alpha-arbutin | A stable, skin-brightening compound derived from the bearberry plant and also made synthetically. | Slows pigment production in skin cells, helping fade the look of dark spots and uneven tone over weeks.Note: Works gradually and should be paired with daily sunscreen. |
