Maeyoung Pore Repair Spicule Peeling Ampoule

72-hour pore care with 99% pure white spicules

A peeling ampoule infused with white spicules extracted from pristine marine sponges. Unlike standard spicules, these undergo multiple purification steps to remove impurities, resulting in minimal tingling and no sensitization. The ampoule transforms into a gommage texture on skin, gently lifting away dead skin cells and sebum while simultaneously delivering active ingredients—a 2-in-1 approach.

Clinically proven instant pore improvement

In a human application test conducted on 22 adults aged 20–60, pore improvement was visible immediately after use and remained effective for up to 72 hours. Dermatologist-tested for low irritation, making it suitable for sensitive skin when used 1–2 times per week.

Multi-layered formula: from exfoliation to tone correction

Each ingredient is layered to target specific skin concerns. AHA (exfoliating agent) and BHA (pore-clearing agent) work to remove dead skin cells and dissolve sebum buildup. Galactomyces ferment filtrate and niacinamide help clarify and even out skin tone. Patented pore-refining ingredients including Anti Sebum P and Tannin Complex regulate sebum and tighten pores. Ceramide (prevents moisture loss) and madecassoside (soothes skin) protect the skin barrier post-peel.

Ideal for those with dull, lackluster skin, visible pores and blackheads, or anyone looking for a pre-skincare booster. After cleansing, apply an appropriate amount to dry skin, gently massage for about 30 seconds, then rinse with lukewarm water.

Right after cleansing, before your skincare routine

This is a peeling ampoule designed to be used on dry skin after cleansing and before toner. It's a gommage-type formula that refines dead skin cells and excess sebum, then delivers active ingredients immediately—acting as a booster that enhances the absorption of your toner and serum. Use it the night before an important makeup day, and you'll notice a real difference in how seamlessly your foundation sits the next morning.

Use 1–3 times per week in your evening routine

Because this is a peeling product, we recommend using it after your evening cleanse. If you have normal skin, start with 2–3 times per week; if your skin is sensitive, begin with once or twice a week and adjust based on how your skin responds. Clinical results show the effects last up to 72 hours, so consistent, spaced-out use works better than daily application.

Massage on dry skin for 30 seconds, then rinse

Dispense an appropriate amount and apply evenly across your face, avoiding the eye and lip areas. Gently massage in circular motions for about 30 seconds—the ampoule texture will transform into a gommage consistency as dead skin cells begin to lift away. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. The key is to stick to the 30-second mark; over-massaging can lead to irritation.

Pair with targeted treatments based on your skin concern

• Pores and sebum: Follow with a pore-refining toner and finish with a lightweight hydrating serum.
• Dull complexion: Layer a niacinamide or vitamin C serum in the next step for a synergistic brightening boost.
• Worried about dryness: Seal in moisture with a ceramide cream after peeling to lock in hydration without any tightness.

Contains AHA and BHA—here's what to watch for

This formula includes AHA and salicylic acid (BHA), so avoid using it on the same day as retinol or other exfoliating treatments to prevent irritation. The morning after use, be diligent about applying sunscreen. You may feel a slight tingling due to the spicule technology—this is a normal response. However, if redness or discomfort persists, discontinue use and consult a dermatologist. Once opened, use within 12 months and store in a cool place away from direct sunlight.
