Key actives
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. On this cream's own ingredient list it is named seventeenth.
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. The panel names it twenty-first on this cream's list, beside Adenosine.
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is named twenty-second on this cream's list, alongside Adenosine.
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-fourth on this cream's list, alongside Adenosine.
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. It is named twenty-eighth on this cream's list, alongside Adenosine.
How to use
- Smooth a thin layer over clean, toned skin as the last step of your morning or evening routine.
Where does this cream go in my routine?
As the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. Anything thinner than a cream 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 Adenosine and not three changes at once.
Does this cream 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 cream is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Adenosine?
Madecassoside, Niacinamide and Copper Tripeptide-1. The order they are printed in on this cream's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Adenosine sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate, Tocopherol and Ascorbyl Tetraisopalmitate.

How it works
The HYDRO REFLECTING MYCRO CREAM is a 50ml cream, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The active it is built around is Adenosine, named seventeenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Madecassoside, Niacinamide and Copper Tripeptide-1, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Adenosine stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the cream format rather than by the list alone. HERA sells this Adenosine cream in Korea, and this is that version.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this cream on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Adenosine on the list.
- This list names Fragrance, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.

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.
