Key actives
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. On this product's own ingredient list it is named sixth.
Adenosineactive
Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated. It is named twenty-sixth on this product's list, alongside Niacinamide.
Portulaca Oleracea Extractplant extract
Portulaca Oleracea is purslane. Its extract is unusually high in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants for a plant, and Korean formulas use it for the look of reddened, reactive skin. The panel names it twelfth on this product's list, beside Niacinamide.
Tremella Fuciformis (Mushroom) Extractplant extract
Tremella Fuciformis is snow mushroom. Its polysaccharide holds even more water than hyaluronic acid for its weight, which is why it appears in hydrating Korean formulas as a plant alternative. The panel names it fourteenth on this product's list, beside Niacinamide.
Moringa Oleifera Seed Extractplant extract
Moringa seed extract. The seed is best known for its oil and for the cationic peptides used to clarify water, and in a formula the extract is a conditioning botanical. It is named fifteenth on this product's list, alongside Niacinamide.
How to use
- Use it by smoothing it over the face as the last step of the routine, working it into the skin in the position this cream occupies in a full routine, and following up with the next step once it has settled.
What else is on the list besides Niacinamide?
Adenosine, Portulaca Oleracea Extract and Tremella Fuciformis (Mushroom) Extract. The order they are printed in on this product's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Niacinamide sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Moringa Oleifera Seed Extract, Dicaprylyl Carbonate and Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil.

How it works
The Hydration créme Water tube is a 75ml product. The active it is built around is Niacinamide, named sixth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Adenosine, Portulaca Oleracea Extract and Tremella Fuciformis (Mushroom) Extract, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Niacinamide stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the product format rather than by the list alone. Abib sells this Niacinamide product in Korea, and this is that version.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on a small area before full-face use if you have known sensitivities.
- Discontinue use if irritation, redness, or discomfort develops.
