How it works
The Biome Radiating Intensified Essence is a 50ml essence, used after toner and before serum, morning and evening, on damp skin. The active it is built around is Niacinamide, named eighth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Adenosine, Bifida Ferment Lysate and Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate, 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 essence format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the essence AXIS-Y sells in Korea, Niacinamide and all.

Key actives
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. On this essence's own ingredient list it is named eighth.
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-eighth on this essence's list, alongside Niacinamide.
Bifida Ferment Lysateferment
Bifida Ferment Lysate is a bifidobacteria ferment with the cells broken open. It is the ingredient behind the first-essence category and is used for the look of tired, reactive skin. It is named first on this essence's list, alongside Niacinamide.
Lactobacillus Ferment Lysateferment
Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate is the ferment with the bacterial cells broken open, so their contents are in the formula too. It is a conditioning ferment used in barrier-focused products. The panel names it thirty-second on this essence's list, beside Niacinamide.
Lactococcus Fermentferment
A ferment of lactococcus, one of the lactic acid bacteria used to make cheese and buttermilk. It supplies peptides and organic acids and is used as a conditioning ferment. The panel names it thirty-third on this essence's list, beside Niacinamide.
Where does this essence go in my routine?
After toner and before serum, morning and evening, on damp skin. Anything thinner than an essence 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 Niacinamide and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market essence or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Niacinamide and all. We match this essence to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Niacinamide?
Adenosine, Bifida Ferment Lysate and Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate. The order they are printed in on this essence's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Niacinamide sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Lactococcus Ferment, Lactococcus Ferment Lysate and Bifida Ferment Filtrate.

How to use
- Apply it after your toner while the skin is still damp, morning and night.
- Press it in with flat hands over the whole face and neck rather than rubbing one area.
- Follow with a serum if you use one, then close the routine with a moisturiser.
- Do not use it in place of your moisturiser, because an essence has nothing holding it down on its own.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this essence on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Niacinamide on the list.
- Introduce this essence on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Niacinamide rather than to three changes at once.
