penetratively
This adverb describes an action that breaks through a barrier, whether that barrier is physical or psychological. When used in a cognitive sense, it suggests a piercing intelligence or an uncanny ability to perceive the truth behind a disguise, often carrying a connotation of intensity or scrutiny that may feel invasive to the subject.
In a physical sense, the term is technical and precise, describing the manner of entry into a medium. It is far less common in casual conversation than its adjective form "penetrating" and is typically reserved for formal descriptions of medical procedures, ballistic analysis, or literary descriptions of gaze and insight.
