Key actives
Madecassosideactive
Madecassoside is the centella triterpene most associated with the look of redness, and the one brands lead with in cica products. It is water soluble and stable, so it appears in essences as readily as in creams. On this product's own ingredient list it is named twenty-second.
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. The panel names it twenty-third on this product's list, beside Madecassoside.
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 fifty-fourth on this product's list, beside Madecassoside.
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-third on this product's list, beside Madecassoside.
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 thirty-sixth on this product's list, beside Madecassoside.
How to use
- Pat a small amount into clean, toned skin, morning and night, before a heavier cream.
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 Madecassoside?
Niacinamide, Copper Tripeptide-1 and Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate. The order they are printed in on this product's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Madecassoside sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Tocopheryl Acetate, Tocopherol and Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate.

How it works
The HYDRO REFLECTING FLUID is a 140ml product. The active it is built around is Madecassoside, named twenty-second on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Niacinamide, Copper Tripeptide-1 and Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Madecassoside stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the product format rather than by the list alone. HERA sells this Madecassoside product in Korea, and this is that version.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on the inner arm before first full-face use if trying this specific formula for the first time.
- Introduce one new step at a time when adding it to an existing routine, so any reaction is easy to trace.

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.
