Key actives
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. On this cream's own ingredient list it is named thirty-seventh.
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 thirty-fifth on this cream's list, beside Ceramide NP.
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 Ceramide NP.
Portulaca Oleracea Extractplant extract
Portulaca Oleracea is purslane. Its extract is unusually high in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants for a plant, and Korean formulas use it for the look of reddened, reactive skin. The panel names it thirtieth on this cream's list, beside Ceramide NP.
Perilla Frutescens Leaf Extractplant extract
Kkaennip, the perilla leaf eaten across Korea. Its extract carries rosmarinic acid and is used as an antioxidant conditioning extract. It is named fortieth on this cream's list, alongside Ceramide NP.
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 Ceramide NP and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market cream or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Ceramide NP 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 Benzyl Salicylate, Citronellol, Eugenol 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 cream is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Ceramide NP?
Beta-Glucan, Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem Extract and Portulaca Oleracea Extract. The order they are printed in on this cream's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Ceramide NP sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Perilla Frutescens Leaf Extract, Acorus Calamus Root Extract and Cetyl Ethylhexanoate.

How it works
The Cream ; Fresh and More is a 50ml cream, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The barrier lipid it is built around is Ceramide NP, named thirty-seventh on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Beta-Glucan, Opuntia Ficus-Indica Stem Extract and Portulaca Oleracea Extract, so the barrier lipid is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Ceramide NP 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, Ceramide NP and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this cream on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Ceramide NP on the list.
- This list names Benzyl Salicylate, Citronellol and Eugenol, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.
