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 serum's own ingredient list it is named fourteenth.
Bacillus Fermentferment
Bacillus Ferment is a bacterial ferment that yields enzymes and water-holding polysaccharides. Korean formulas use it as a conditioning ferment. The panel names it twenty-sixth on this serum's list, beside Adenosine.
Lactobacillus Fermentferment
Lactobacillus Ferment is the liquid left after lactobacillus bacteria have fermented a plant or milk substrate. It carries the small molecules the fermentation produced, including lactic acid and amino acids, and is used for the look of dull, uneven skin. The panel names it twenty-eighth on this serum's list, beside Adenosine.
Tocopherolantioxidant
Tocopherol is vitamin E. It is an oil-soluble antioxidant that protects the oils in a formula from going rancid and works on skin as an emollient, and it is regularly paired with vitamin C because each keeps the other going for longer. The panel names it twenty-ninth on this serum's list, beside Adenosine.
Ceramide NPbarrier lipid
Ceramide NP is the most used cosmetic ceramide, the same class of lipid that makes up roughly half the mortar between cells in the outer layer of skin. Added to a cream it slots into that structure, which is why ceramide formulas feel less leaky rather than merely greasy. The panel names it thirty-second on this serum's list, beside Adenosine.
How to use
- Use it as the serum step, AM and PM, after toner and before moisturizer, giving it a moment to settle before the next step.
Where does this serum go in my routine?
After toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. Anything thinner than a serum 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.
Is this the Korean-market serum or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Adenosine and all. We match this serum to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
Does this serum contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Benzyl Salicylate, Fragrance and Hexyl Cinnamal. 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 serum is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Adenosine?
Bacillus Ferment, Lactobacillus Ferment and Tocopherol. The order they are printed in on this serum's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Adenosine sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Ceramide NP, Phytosphingosine and Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Extract.

How it works
The Conditioning Serum Freeshape is a 50ml serum, used after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. The active it is built around is Adenosine, named fourteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Bacillus Ferment, Lactobacillus Ferment and Tocopherol, 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 serum format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the serum Huxley sells in Korea, Adenosine and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this serum on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Adenosine on the list.
- This list names Benzyl Salicylate, Fragrance and Hexyl Cinnamal, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.
