High concentration of vitamin C
The ampoule contains 25% pure vitamin C (ascorbic acid) plus additional vitamin C derivatives for enhanced and more stable brightening effects.
Optimal pH for absorption and gentleness
The formulation is pH‑balanced to maximize penetration of vitamin C while reducing the risk of irritation or stinging.
Supportive hydrating and soothing ingredients
It also includes Vitamin B5 (panthenol), turmeric root extract, allantoin, adenosine, ferulic acid, broccoli and pineapple extracts, and other antioxidants to hydrate, calm, and protect the skin barrier.
Light, non‑sticky texture
Quickly absorbed and formulated to leave a refreshing, non‑greasy or heavy finish. It aims to provide moisture without feeling sticky or leaving residue.
Dermatologically / hypoallergenic tested
The ampoule has undergone patch testing or similar human application tests to verify that irritation is low or minimal.
Multi‑benefit action
Provides brightening, improves skin tone uniformity, addresses pigmentation and dark spots, enhances skin elasticity, refines skin texture, and supports overall skin radiance.
Usage flexibility
Designed for both morning and evening routines, though sun protection is essential when using vitamin C in the morning. There are recommendations to introduce it gradually (e.g. every other day initially) if the skin is not accustomed to potent vitamin C.
Here is a breakdown of some of the active and supporting ingredients, and what they do:
Ingredient | Function / Benefit |
---|---|
Ascorbic Acid (25%) | Potent antioxidant, brightens skin, reduces appearance of dark spots, stimulates collagen production. |
Stable Vitamin C derivative (≈2%) | Offers more gradual release and more stability than pure vitamin C, helps maintain brightening effect over time. |
Vitamin B5 (Panthenol) | Hydration, promotes barrier recovery, reduces irritation. |
Ferulic Acid | Helps stabilize vitamin C, enhances antioxidant protection. |
Turmeric Root Extract | Anti‑inflammatory, antioxidant; helps reduce redness and soothe skin. |
Allantoin | Calms irritation, supports skin healing. |
Adenosine | Improves skin elasticity and may help reduce fine lines. |
Extracts of Broccoli, Pineapple, etc. | Offer additional antioxidant, vitamin, and enzyme support to improve overall skin texture. |
Improvement in dark spot visibility, more even skin tone, reduction in pigmentation.
Increased skin brightness and radiance, especially over regular use.
Enhancement of elasticity, giving a firmer, more youthful look.
Smoother skin texture, refinement of pores.
Hydration without heaviness; skin feels moist, balanced, not tight or oily.
Some sources note measurable improvements in dark spots and pigmentation after short periods of use (e.g., three days) under test conditions.
After cleansing and toning, apply 2‑3 drops of the ampoule to the face. Gently pat until fully absorbed.
Begin with less frequent use (e.g. every other day) if the skin is sensitive or not used to high‑strength vitamin C, then gradually increase to daily morning +/‑ evening use as tolerated.
Always apply sunscreen during daytime when using vitamin C products, to prevent further pigmentation and protect from UV.
Store properly: avoid direct sunlight, keep container tightly closed. Some guidance suggests keeping it cool to prevent oxidation of vitamin C.
Because of its high vitamin C content, some tingling or mild irritation may occur, especially at first. If irritation is strong or persistent, discontinue use.
Not recommended for use on broken or severely compromised skin.
Be careful when combining with other potent active ingredients (e.g., strong acids or retinols) unless under guidance, to avoid over‑irritation.
Monitor for any signs of sensitivity, redness, itching.
Use of fragrance‑containing components or certain alcohols in the formula may affect those with very reactive or compromised skin.
