Key actives
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. On this cream's own ingredient list it is named twenty-sixth.
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizateactive
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is named thirty-fifth on this cream's list, alongside Adenosine.
Ceramide NPbarrier lipid
Ceramide NP is the most used cosmetic ceramide, the same class of lipid that makes up roughly half the mortar between cells in the outer layer of skin. Added to a cream it slots into that structure, which is why ceramide formulas feel less leaky rather than merely greasy. It is named thirteenth on this cream's list, alongside Adenosine.
Phytosphingosinebarrier lipid
Phytosphingosine is the backbone every ceramide is built on, and skin uses it in its own lipid layer. In a formula it works with ceramides and cholesterol and also keeps the product stable against microbes. The panel names it fourteenth on this cream's list, beside Adenosine.
Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extractplant extract
Vanilla bean extract. It carries vanillin, the compound its scent comes from, along with polyphenols, so it contributes fragrance as well as extract. The panel names it twenty-ninth on this cream's list, beside Adenosine.
How to use
- Massage a small amount into clean, dry hands, working it into the knuckles and cuticles where dryness shows first.
Where does this cream go in my routine?
As the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. Anything thinner than a cream goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Adenosine and not three changes at once.
Does this cream contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Benzoate, Citral and Citronellol. They sit on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this cream is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Adenosine?
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Ceramide NP and Phytosphingosine. The order they are printed in on this cream's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Adenosine sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate and Hydrogenated Polydecene.

How it works
The MELLOWNESS HAND CREAM MAGNOLIA & SANDALWOOD is a 30ml cream, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The active it is built around is Adenosine, named twenty-sixth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Ceramide NP and Phytosphingosine, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Adenosine stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the cream format rather than by the list alone. AROMATICA sells this Adenosine cream in Korea, and this is that version.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this cream on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Adenosine on the list.
- This list names Benzyl Alcohol, Benzyl Benzoate and Citral, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.
