Key actives
Allantoinactive
Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin. On this ampoule's own ingredient list it is named seventeenth.
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizateactive
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. The panel names it thirtieth on this ampoule's list, beside Allantoin.
Centella Asiatica Extractplant extract
Centella Asiatica is the plant behind the whole cica category, sold as gotu kola or Madagascar centella. Its extract is the anchor of Korean formulas built for easily reddened skin, and its work is done by four triterpenes: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid. It is named second on this ampoule's list, alongside Allantoin.
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extractplant extract
Aloe Leaf Extract is mostly water with polysaccharides, amino acids and mild plant acids. It hydrates and leaves a light, cooling film, which is why it is the default after-sun ingredient. The panel names it seventh on this ampoule's list, beside Allantoin.
Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extractplant extract
Willow Bark Extract carries salicin, the plant compound salicylic acid is related to. The two are not interchangeable: willow bark is a mild clarifying extract, not a BHA exfoliant at the levels used in cosmetics. The panel names it nineteenth on this ampoule's list, beside Allantoin.
How to use
- Apply after toner and before moisturizer. Pat or smooth it over a cleansed face and let it absorb before the next step, AM and PM.
Where does this ampoule go in my routine?
After toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. Anything thinner than an ampoule goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Allantoin and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market ampoule or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Allantoin and all. We match this ampoule to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Allantoin?
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Centella Asiatica Extract and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract. The order they are printed in on this ampoule's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Allantoin sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Origanum Vulgare Leaf Extract and Portulaca Oleracea Extract.

How it works
The Perfect Ampule Serum Calm is a 25ml ampoule, used after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. The active it is built around is Allantoin, named seventeenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Centella Asiatica Extract and Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Allantoin stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the ampoule format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the ampoule 9wishes sells in Korea, Allantoin and all.
Worth knowing
- New to this formula or to the brand: patch-test on the inner arm and wait a day before applying it to the face.
- Discontinue use and rinse the area with water if redness, itching or irritation develops.
