How it works
Niacinamide leads the ingredient panel on this cream. Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists. On this panel it sits alongside Hippophae Rhamnoides Water, Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract and Coptis Japonica Root Extract. Hippophae Rhamnoides is sea buckthorn. Its water is used in place of plain water as a base and carries traces of the fruit's vitamins.

Key actives
Niacinamide
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.
Hippophae Rhamnoides Water
Hippophae Rhamnoides is sea buckthorn. Its water is used in place of plain water as a base and carries traces of the fruit's vitamins.
Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract
Sea Buckthorn Fruit Extract is high in vitamin C and carotenoids, which give it a strong orange colour. It is used as an antioxidant extract.
Coptis Japonica Root Extract
Coptis Japonica is a traditional East Asian medicinal root, bright yellow from its berberine content. In skincare its extract is used for the look of congested, oily skin.
Is this the same formula sold in Korea, or a version made for the US market?
This is the Korean-market formula, the same one sold on shelves in Korea, not a separate version reformulated for US retail. The pack you open matches what a shopper in Seoul buys.
Where does this step go in a routine?
It belongs last, as the final leave-on step of your routine, morning and night. Placing it earlier or later than that changes how it feels going on and how well the steps after it absorb, so keeping it in that order is worth doing even on a simplified routine.
Can I use this if my skin runs sensitive?
This cream is formulated with skin types like normal skin, dry skin in mind, but any new product is worth a patch test first if your skin reacts easily. A short patch test on the inside of your arm or behind an ear is worth doing with any new product before it goes on your face, and that goes for sensitive skin most of all.
How long before I will know if this is right for my skin?
Give it a full week or two of consistent use before judging, since a single use rarely tells you much either way. Watch for how skin feels rather than for any specific number, and stop use if you notice ongoing irritation.

How to use
- Use it at the end of your routine, once your toner and serum have settled.
- Warm a small amount between your fingertips and press it over the face and neck rather than rubbing.
- Add a second thin layer on the areas that still feel tight instead of one heavy layer everywhere.
- Do not apply it before your serum, since nothing thinner will get through a cream that is already on the skin.
Worth knowing
- Give it a minute to settle before applying sunscreen over it in the morning, since a cream applied too heavily can make the next layer slide.
- Use a thinner layer over the T-zone and a fuller one over drier areas if your skin is combination rather than uniformly dry.

What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
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.
