| Ingredient | What it is | What it does for skin |
|---|---|---|
| Centella asiatica extract | A plant extract, also called Cica or tiger grass, long used in traditional medicine for wound healing. | Calms redness and irritation and supports the skin barrier; some preclinical and limited clinical research suggests it may also support collagen production, though more rigorous long-term studies are still needed to confirm this. |
| Beta-glucan | A polysaccharide often derived from oats or yeast. | A soothing, hydrating ingredient studied for calming sensitive skin and supporting the barrier. |
| Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid | Hyaluronic acid broken into smaller fragments. | A humectant that holds water at the skin surface; the smaller size is meant to hydrate at a shallower depth. |
| 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. |
| Ethyl ascorbic acid | A stable, water-soluble form of vitamin C (3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid). | An antioxidant used to brighten the look of dark spots and even skin tone; gentler and more stable than pure vitamin C. |
