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 sixth.
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. The panel names it eighth on this product's list, beside Niacinamide.
Tocopheryl Acetateantioxidant
Tocopheryl Acetate is a stable vitamin E ester that skin converts to tocopherol. It is used as an antioxidant and a light emollient and holds up better than plain vitamin E in a formula. The panel names it twenty-fifth on this product's list, beside Niacinamide.
Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit Extractplant extract
Star Anise Fruit Extract carries aromatic plant compounds. It is used as a conditioning extract and contributes scent. The panel names it fourteenth on this product's list, beside Niacinamide.
Cetyl Ethylhexanoateemollient
Cetyl Ethylhexanoate is a synthetic ester used as a dry-feeling emollient. It spreads easily, leaves a silky rather than oily finish, and helps disperse pigments and UV filters evenly. It is named seventh on this product's list, alongside Niacinamide.
How to use
- Sweep across a cleansed face and neck with a cotton pad or press in with clean hands, then continue with the rest of the routine without rinsing.
Where does this product go in my routine?
After your sunscreen has settled, as the first makeup step of the morning. Anything thinner than a product 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 product or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Niacinamide and all. We match this product to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
Does this product contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Fragrance. It sits 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 product is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Niacinamide?
Adenosine, Tocopheryl Acetate and Illicium Verum (Anise) Fruit 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: Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Squalane and Sodium Hyaluronate.

How it works
The Skin Liar Primer is a 30ml product, used after your sunscreen has settled, as the first makeup step of the morning. The active it is built around is Niacinamide, named sixth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Adenosine, Tocopheryl Acetate and Illicium Verum (Anise) 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 product format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the product Elizavecca sells in Korea, Niacinamide and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this product on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Niacinamide on the list.
- This list names Fragrance, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.

People with dry, flaky skin are more likely to see a benefit from using vitamin E because it enhances moisturization.
