Niacinamide 5% Hyaluronic Acid Cica Brightening Hydrating Ampoule 30ml

A brightening ampoule powered by 5% niacinamide — the maximum concentration for targeting dark spots

This ampoule contains 5% niacinamide, the maximum concentration approved by Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety for brightening functional cosmetics. It works by inhibiting melanin transfer to the skin's surface, intensively targeting hyperpigmentation and dark spots. Glutathione and ragweed extract work in synergy to help even out skin tone. The lightweight, fresh texture absorbs quickly without any sticky residue, so it layers beautifully under makeup — even in your morning routine.

Clinically proven improvement in dark spots

A 3-week clinical study showed a 28.16% reduction in hyperpigmented areas and an 11.47% improvement in skin texture. Surface melanin levels decreased by 3.25%, and the formula scored 0.00 on the skin irritation index, confirming it's non-irritating and safe for sensitive skin.

8 types of hyaluronic acid and cica for hydration and soothing

Eight molecular weights of hyaluronic acid — from low to high — deliver seamless hydration from the deeper layers to the surface, while panthenol strengthens the skin barrier. Four centella-derived ingredients, including madecassoside and asiaticoside, calm redness and irritation. Formulated without 20 cautionary ingredients and made with EWG Green-grade components, this gentle ampoule is ideal for anyone concerned with dark spots and melasma, lingering post-breakout marks, or dry, sensitive skin.

Use after toner, before moisturizer

This ampoule is designed to be applied after toner and before your cream. It sits at the essence or serum step in your routine. Apply it before your moisturizer so the niacinamide and hyaluronic acid have time to fully absorb into skin.

Safe for morning and evening use

Niacinamide is photostable, so you can use this ampoule daily, both morning and night. In the morning, it helps even tone and lock in hydration. In the evening, it soothes stressed skin and targets dark spots accumulated throughout the day.

Dispense 2–3 drops and smooth over entire face

Dispense a few drops into your palm, spread evenly across your face, then gently pat to help absorption. For areas with visible dark spots or hyperpigmentation, feel free to reapply throughout the day. You can also mix 1–2 drops into your base makeup for a hydrating, lit-from-within glow.

Routine pairings by skin concern

• Dark spots and melasma: Pair with a vitamin C serum at different times of day to boost brightening results. Try this ampoule in the morning and vitamin C in the evening.
• Dry and sensitive skin: Layer with a ceramide cream to reinforce your moisture barrier.
• Post-breakout marks: The cica in this formula helps calm skin while targeting lingering marks at the same time.

What to know when using high-strength niacinamide

This formula contains 5% niacinamide and works well for most skin types, but if you have very sensitive skin, start with a small amount to test tolerance. If using alongside retinol, separate application times or alternate days to avoid irritation. After opening, store in a cool place away from direct sunlight, and discontinue use if any discomfort occurs—consult a dermatologist if needed.
