Key ingredients
| Ingredient | What it is, and what it is used for |
|---|---|
| NIACINAMIDE | Nicotinamide (vitamin B3). Studied for signalling to skin cells rather than sitting on top; studied for evening out tone; studied for breakout-prone skin. |
| ADENOSINE | Purine nucleoside. Studied for signalling to skin cells rather than sitting on top. |
| SODIUM HYALURONATE | Sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| PANTHENOL | Provitamin B5. Used to calm irritation; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| DIPOTASSIUM GLYCYRRHIZATE | Water-soluble dipotassium salt of glycyrrhizic acid. Listed as sweetener, skin-conditioning agent (miscellaneous). |
| ALLANTOIN | Heterocyclic diureide. Used to calm irritation. |
| BUTYLENE GLYCOL | Diol. Used to pull in water and hold it; dissolves the rest so the formula stays one liquid. |
| GLYCERIN | Polyol. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| PROPANEDIOL | Plant-derived diol. Dissolves the rest so the formula stays one liquid; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| GLUCOSE | Monosaccharide. Listed as sweetener, humectant, skin-conditioning agent (humectant), skin-conditioning agent (miscellaneous). |
| PANAX GINSENG ROOT WATER | Aqueous distillate of Panax ginseng root. Listed as fragrance. |

How the formula works together
Three groups of ingredients are doing the work here. Humectants — SODIUM HYALURONATE, BUTYLENE GLYCOL and GLYCERIN among others — draw water into the surface. Calming ingredients — PANTHENOL and ALLANTOIN — work on the look of redness. NIACINAMIDE works on the look of unevenness.
Humectants and calming ingredients cover each other. Skin that has lost water looks redder and more textured than it is, so putting water back is half of how a formula settles the look of a difficult day.
Who it is for
Labelled for all skin type.
How to use it
