Key actives
Adenosineactive
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. On this ampoule's own ingredient list it is named seventh.
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizateactive
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. The panel names it thirteenth on this ampoule's list, beside Adenosine.
Madecassosideactive
Madecassoside is the centella triterpene most associated with the look of redness, and the one brands lead with in cica products. It is water soluble and stable, so it appears in essences as readily as in creams. It is named fourteenth on this ampoule's list, alongside Adenosine.
Capryloyl Salicylic Acidexfoliant
Capryloyl Salicylic Acid is salicylic acid with a fatty tail, sometimes sold as LHA. It stays nearer the surface than salicylic acid and works at a higher pH, so it exfoliates more evenly and more gently. The panel names it fifteenth on this ampoule's list, beside Adenosine.
Propolis Extractplant extract
Propolis is the resin bees collect from tree buds and use to seal the hive. It is rich in flavonoids, carries a warm amber colour and scent, and is used for the look of dull, stressed skin. It is named first on this ampoule's list, alongside Adenosine.
How to use
- Apply after toner and before moisturizer, pressing a small amount evenly over the face.
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 Adenosine and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market ampoule or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Adenosine 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 Adenosine?
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Madecassoside and Capryloyl Salicylic Acid. The order they are printed in on this ampoule's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Adenosine sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Propolis Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract and Centella Asiatica Extract.

How it works
The Acne Shot Ampoule is a 30ml ampoule, used after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. The active it is built around is Adenosine, named seventh on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Madecassoside and Capryloyl Salicylic Acid, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Adenosine 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 AMPLE:N sells in Korea, Adenosine and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this ampoule on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Adenosine on the list.
- Salicylic Acid on this list makes this ampoule an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.
