How it works
The Hydration gel water tube is a 75ml product. The active it is built around is Niacinamide, named sixteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Chondrus Crispus Extract, Saccharum Officinarum (Sugarcane) 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.

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 sixteenth.
Chondrus Crispus Extractplant extract
Chondrus Crispus is Irish moss, a red seaweed. It is loaded with carrageenan, so it hydrates and thickens at once, and it leaves a cushioned, slippery film. The panel names it ninth on this product's list, beside Niacinamide.
Saccharum Officinarum (Sugarcane) Extractplant extract
Sugarcane Extract carries natural glycolic acid and sugars. In cosmetics it is used as a humectant; the acid content is far too low to work as an exfoliant. The panel names it tenth 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. It is named twelfth on this product's list, alongside Niacinamide.
Moringa Pterygosperma Seed Extractplant extract
Moringa seed extract, from the species also written Moringa oleifera. The seed carries cationic peptides, the compounds used to clarify water, and the extract is a conditioning botanical. It is named fourteenth on this product's list, alongside Niacinamide.
What else is on the list besides Niacinamide?
Chondrus Crispus Extract, Saccharum Officinarum (Sugarcane) 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 Pterygosperma Seed Extract, Portulaca Oleracea Extract and Limnanthes Alba (Meadowfoam) Seed Oil.
