IngredientWhat it isWhat 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.
AdenosineA 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.
GlutathioneAn antioxidant naturally produced by the body, also used topically in some brightening formulas.Helps neutralize free radicals and is marketed for brightening, though topical absorption and efficacy are less established than oral or injectable use.
3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic AcidA 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 AcidPure 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.
TocopherolThe 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.
