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 fifteenth.
Beta-Glucanpolysaccharide
Beta-Glucan is a polysaccharide from oats or yeast. It holds a large amount of water, forms a soothing film, and is one of the ingredients formulators reach for in products aimed at reactive skin. The panel names it twenty-fourth on this cream's list, beside Adenosine.
Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem Extractplant extract
Prickly pear cactus stem extract, from the pad rather than the fruit. The pad is full of mucilage, so the extract hydrates and leaves a cushioned feel. It is named first on this cream's list, alongside Adenosine.
Perilla Ocymoides Leaf Extractplant extract
Perilla leaf extract, the same plant Korean cooking uses as kkaennip. The leaf carries rosmarinic acid and luteolin and is used as an antioxidant botanical. The panel names it seventeenth on this cream's list, beside Adenosine.
Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extractplant extract
Paeonia Suffruticosa is tree peony, a long-standing East Asian medicinal plant. Its root extract carries paeoniflorin and is used for the look of reddened skin. The panel names it eighteenth on this cream's list, beside Adenosine.
How to use
- Use it as the moisturizer step, AM and PM, as the last step of the routine, giving it a moment to settle before the next step.
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.
Is this the Korean-market cream or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Adenosine and all. We match this cream to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
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?
Beta-Glucan, Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem Extract and Perilla Ocymoides Leaf Extract. 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: Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract, Carthamus Tinctorius (Safflower) Flower Extract and Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract.

How it works
The Cream ; Anti-Gravity is a 50ml cream, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The active it is built around is Adenosine, named fifteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Beta-Glucan, Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem Extract and Perilla Ocymoides Leaf Extract, 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. This is the Original Korean Formula, the cream Huxley sells in Korea, Adenosine and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on the inner arm first if trying a new brand's formula for the first time.
- Stop use and check the ingredient list against any known sensitivities before continuing.
