| Ingredient | What it is | What it does for skin |
|---|---|---|
| Niacinamide (5%) | Vitamin B3 at a concentration within the most clinically studied range. | Supports the skin barrier and has published evidence for visibly reducing hyperpigmentation at this dose. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
