Key actives
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. On this product's own ingredient list it is named fifth.
Allantoinactive
Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin. It is named eleventh on this product's list, alongside Niacinamide.
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. The panel names it eighteenth on this product's list, beside Niacinamide.
Hydrolyzed DNAactive
Hydrolyzed DNA is DNA cut into short fragments so it dissolves and spreads. It is the same ingredient family as sodium DNA and polydeoxyribonucleotide, the one Korean formulas market as PDRN. The panel names it twentieth on this product's list, beside Niacinamide.
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-11peptide
Acetyl Tetrapeptide-11 is a four-amino-acid peptide used for the look of firmness, and it is the usual partner to acetyl tetrapeptide-9. It is named twenty-seventh on this product's list, alongside Niacinamide.
How to use
- Sweep or pat onto cleansed skin using hands or a cotton pad, then continue with the next step of the routine.
What else is on the list besides Niacinamide?
Allantoin, Adenosine and Hydrolyzed DNA. The order they are printed in on this product's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Niacinamide sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Acetyl Tetrapeptide-11, Tocopherol and Theobroma Cacao (Cocoa) Extract.

How it works
The MD STEM III Clinical Recovery Softener is a 130ml product. The active it is built around is Niacinamide, named fifth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Allantoin, Adenosine and Hydrolyzed DNA, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Niacinamide stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the product format rather than by the list alone. IOPE sells this Niacinamide product in Korea, and this is that version.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on a small area first and wait a day before full use, especially the first time.

Allantoin can tone down the dryness of the individual cells. It increases the water content of the skin, which means it helps to hydrate and moisturize.
