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 Glutathione and not three changes at once.

What else is on the list besides Glutathione?

Niacinamide, Adenosine and Bakuchiol. The order they are printed in on this ampoule's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Glutathione sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, Hemerocallis Fulva Flower Extract and Cetyl Ethylhexanoate.

How it works

The Glutathione Brightnening Ampoule Mist is a 60ml ampoule, used after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. The antioxidant it is built around is Glutathione, named twentieth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Niacinamide, Adenosine and Bakuchiol, so the antioxidant is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Glutathione stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the ampoule format rather than by the list alone. AIDA sells this Glutathione ampoule in Korea, and this is that version.

Key actives

8Niacinamideactive

Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is named eighth on this ampoule's list, alongside Glutathione.

All products with Niacinamide

15Adenosineactive

Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated. It is named fifteenth on this ampoule's list, alongside Glutathione.

All products with Adenosine

17Bakuchiolactive

Bakuchiol is a compound from the babchi seed, used as a plant-derived alternative to retinol. It is oil soluble, stable in daylight and does not carry retinol's acclimatisation period, which is why sensitive-skin formulas choose it. The panel names it seventeenth on this ampoule's list, beside Glutathione.

All products with Bakuchiol

183-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acidantioxidant

3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid is a stable vitamin C derivative that skin converts to ascorbic acid. It survives in a formula far better than pure vitamin C and works at a gentler pH, so it suits skin that finds the pure acid uncomfortable. The panel names it eighteenth on this ampoule's list, beside Glutathione.

All products with 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid

20Glutathioneantioxidant

Glutathione is a small peptide the body uses as one of its main antioxidants. In skincare it is used as an antioxidant and for the look of dullness; it is unstable in water, so formulas that carry it are usually built around protecting it. The name on the box points at it, and it is named twentieth on this ampoule's own ingredient list.

21 of 22 explained

Water solvent: Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
Butylene Glycol humectant: Butylene Glycol is a small glycol that does two jobs at once: it holds water in the top layer of skin and it dissolves plant extracts and actives that plain water cannot. It also thins a formula, which is why watery Korean essences lean on it.
Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride emollient: Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride is the light fraction of coconut oil, with the heavy parts removed. It is the workhorse emollient of modern formulas: it softens skin, dissolves oil-soluble actives and absorbs without the greasy weight of a whole plant oil.
Glycerin humectant: Glycerin is the most used humectant in skincare. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and holds it there, and it is one of the very few ingredients whose hydrating effect is settled science rather than marketing. Higher amounts feel tacky, which is why it is usually blended.
Cetyl Ethylhexanoate emollient: Cetyl Ethylhexanoate is a synthetic ester used as a dry-feeling emollient. It spreads easily, leaves a silky rather than oily finish, and helps disperse pigments and UV filters evenly.
Propanediol humectant: Propanediol is a plant-derived glycol used in place of propylene glycol. It hydrates, carries actives into solution, and gives a lighter, less sticky slip than glycerin at the same strength.
Pentaerythrityl Tetraisostearate emollient: A thick, cushioned ester that gives lip and balm formulas their gloss and their cling. It is heavy enough to stay where it is put.
Niacinamide active: Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.
1,2-Hexanediol humectant: 1,2-Hexanediol is a glycol used for two reasons: it holds water like glycerin, and it makes a formula harder for microbes to live in, so less traditional preservative is needed. Korean formulas use it heavily for that second reason.
Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate emulsifier: Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate is a sugar-derived emulsifier and solubiliser, mild enough to be a standard choice in Korean essences. It dissolves small amounts of oil into water without any tightening feel.
Vinyl Dimethicone silicone: Vinyl Dimethicone is a silicone used as a building block of the crosspolymer gels that give a formula its soft, blurring feel.
Hydrogenated Lecithin emulsifier: Hydrogenated Lecithin is lecithin with its unsaturated bonds filled in, which makes it far more stable. It emulsifies and is the standard shell for the liposomes that carry actives into the outer layer of skin.

9 more explained

Saccharide Hydrolysate humectant: Saccharide Hydrolysate is a mixture of plant sugars broken down for use as a humectant. It holds water in the outer layer.
Ethylhexylglycerin preservative booster: Ethylhexylglycerin softens skin and boosts a preservative system, which is why it is nearly always sitting beside phenoxyethanol or 1,2-hexanediol. It also cuts down the odour bacteria produce, so it turns up in deodorising products.
Adenosine active: Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated.
Disodium EDTA chelator: EDTA is a chelator: it locks up trace metal ions from water and packaging that would otherwise turn a formula cloudy, off-colour or rancid. It does nothing to skin and appears at a fraction of a percent.
Bakuchiol active: Bakuchiol is a compound from the babchi seed, used as a plant-derived alternative to retinol. It is oil soluble, stable in daylight and does not carry retinol's acclimatisation period, which is why sensitive-skin formulas choose it.
3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid antioxidant: 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid is a stable vitamin C derivative that skin converts to ascorbic acid. It survives in a formula far better than pure vitamin C and works at a gentler pH, so it suits skin that finds the pure acid uncomfortable.
Glutathione antioxidant: Glutathione is a small peptide the body uses as one of its main antioxidants. In skincare it is used as an antioxidant and for the look of dullness; it is unstable in water, so formulas that carry it are usually built around protecting it.
Myosotis Sylvatica Flower/Leaf/Stem Extract plant extract: Forget-me-not extract, taken from the whole plant above ground. It is used as a gentle conditioning botanical.
Hemerocallis Fulva Flower Extract plant extract: Orange daylily flower extract, from an edible flower in Korean cooking. It is used as a conditioning floral extract.

How to use

Press a few drops into cleansed skin morning and evening, then follow with a moisturizer to lock the boost in.

Worth knowing

Patch test this ampoule on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Glutathione on the list.
Introduce this ampoule on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Glutathione rather than to three changes at once.

Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.
