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 thirty-first on this essence's list, alongside Niacinamide.
Punica Granatum Fruit Extractplant extract
Pomegranate fruit extract, carrying ellagic acid and punicalagins. It is used as a plant antioxidant. It is named fifteenth on this essence's list, alongside Niacinamide.
Ficus Carica (Fig) Fruit Extractplant extract
Fig Fruit Extract carries fruit sugars, mild acids and a protein-digesting enzyme. It is used as a hydrating extract with a light smoothing effect. It is named sixteenth on this essence's list, alongside Niacinamide.
Morus Alba Fruit Extractplant extract
White mulberry fruit extract. It carries anthocyanins and fruit acids and is used as a conditioning antioxidant extract, while the root bark of the same plant is used for tone. It is named seventeenth on this essence's list, alongside Niacinamide.
How to use
- Apply as the last step of a routine, warming a small amount between the fingers before pressing over face and neck.
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.
What else is on the list besides Niacinamide?
Adenosine, Punica Granatum Fruit Extract and Ficus Carica (Fig) Fruit Extract. 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: Morus Alba Fruit Extract, Ginkgo Biloba Nut Extract and Vaccinium Angustifolium Fruit Extract.

How it works
The Bio Active Resurrection Plant 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, Punica Granatum Fruit Extract and Ficus Carica (Fig) Fruit 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 essence format rather than by the list alone. Bonajour sells this Niacinamide essence in Korea, and this is that version.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on the inner arm first, as with any new step added to a routine.
- Discontinue if irritation develops and check the ingredient list against any known sensitivity.
