Key actives
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. On this lotion's own ingredient list it is named twelfth.
Copper Tripeptide-1peptide
Copper Tripeptide-1 is three amino acids bound to a copper ion, and the classic firming peptide in cosmetic chemistry. It is blue in solution, which is often why a serum carrying it is tinted, and it is used for the look of firmness and fine lines. The panel names it thirty-fifth on this lotion's list, beside Niacinamide.
Beta-Glucanpolysaccharide
Beta-Glucan is a polysaccharide from oats or yeast. It holds a large amount of water, forms a soothing film, and is one of the ingredients formulators reach for in products aimed at reactive skin. It is named thirtieth on this lotion's list, alongside Niacinamide.
Centella Asiatica Extractplant extract
Centella Asiatica is the plant behind the whole cica category, sold as gotu kola or Madagascar centella. Its extract is the anchor of Korean formulas built for easily reddened skin, and its work is done by four triterpenes: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid. It is named twenty-sixth on this lotion's list, alongside Niacinamide.
Vaccinium Angustifolium Fruit Extractplant extract
Lowbush blueberry fruit extract, high in anthocyanins. Berry extracts are used as plant antioxidants and can tint a formula. The panel names it twenty-seventh on this lotion's list, beside Niacinamide.
How to use
- Use it after serum or ampoule, as the moisturizing step. AM and PM.
Where does this lotion go in my routine?
As the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. Anything thinner than a lotion 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 lotion or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Niacinamide and all. We match this lotion 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?
Copper Tripeptide-1, Beta-Glucan and Centella Asiatica Extract. The order they are printed in on this lotion's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Niacinamide sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Vaccinium Angustifolium Fruit Extract, Phellinus Linteus Extract and Inonotus Obliquus (Mushroom) Extract.

How it works
The Hydro Refresh Emulsion is a 200ml lotion, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The active it is built around is Niacinamide, named twelfth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Copper Tripeptide-1, Beta-Glucan and Centella Asiatica 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 lotion format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the lotion DERMALINE sells in Korea, Niacinamide and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this lotion on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Niacinamide on the list.
- Introduce this lotion on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Niacinamide rather than to three changes at once.

Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.
