| Ingredient | What it is | What it does for skin |
|---|---|---|
| Madecassoside | One of centella asiatica's key active compounds, often isolated and purified. | A soothing, antioxidant compound studied for calming sensitive and reactive skin and supporting barrier repair. |
| 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. |
| Retinol | A form of vitamin A used in skincare that skin converts into the active retinoic acid. | Supports skin renewal and visibly smooths fine lines and uneven tone with consistent use; it is among the most studied topical anti-aging ingredients.Note: Can cause dryness, peeling or sensitivity, especially when starting. Best used at night with daily sunscreen, and generally avoided during pregnancy and breastfeeding. |
| 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. |
| Squalane | A stable, skin-identical oil, usually plant-derived (from olives or sugarcane) in modern formulas. | An emollient that softens skin and helps prevent moisture loss without feeling heavy or greasy. |
| 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. |
