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 sixth.
Caffeineactive
Caffeine constricts small blood vessels near the surface, which is why eye products use it for the look of puffiness and shadow. It is water soluble and works only while it is on the skin. It is named ninth on this essence's list, alongside Niacinamide.
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 twenty-second on this essence's list, beside Niacinamide.
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. It is named forty-third on this essence's list, alongside Niacinamide.
BHTantioxidant
BHT is a synthetic antioxidant used in traces to stop the oils in a formula going rancid. It protects the product, not the skin. The panel names it forty-fourth on this essence's list, beside Niacinamide.
How to use
- Pat it into clean, toned skin with your palms, morning and night, before serum or cream.
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.
Does this essence contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Benzyl Salicylate, Fragrance, Hexyl Cinnamal and Limonene. 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 essence is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Niacinamide?
Caffeine, Adenosine and Copper Tripeptide-1. 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: BHT, Achillea Millefolium (Yarrow) Extract and Lysine.

How it works
The HOMME ESSENCE IN SKIN is a 125ml essence, used after toner and before serum, morning and evening, on damp skin. The active it is built around is Niacinamide, named sixth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Caffeine, Adenosine and Copper Tripeptide-1, 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. HERA sells this Niacinamide essence in Korea, and this is that version.
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.
- This list names Benzyl Salicylate, Fragrance and Hexyl Cinnamal, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.

It has also been proven that caffeine stimulates lipolysis, which Lupo et al postulated may contribute to improvements in lower eyelid sagging and puffiness.

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.
