Key actives
Ceramide NPbarrier lipid
Ceramide NP is the most used cosmetic ceramide, the same class of lipid that makes up roughly half the mortar between cells in the outer layer of skin. Added to a cream it slots into that structure, which is why ceramide formulas feel less leaky rather than merely greasy. The name on the box points at it, and it is named sixteenth on this ampoule's own ingredient list.
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is named eighth on this ampoule's list, alongside Ceramide NP.
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. It is named thirteenth on this ampoule's list, alongside Ceramide NP.
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. The panel names it eighteenth on this ampoule's list, beside Ceramide NP.
Cholesterolbarrier lipid
Cholesterol is the third of the three lipids the outer layer of skin is built from, with ceramides and fatty acids. Formulas that carry all three are following the ratio skin itself holds. The panel names it twentieth on this ampoule's list, beside Ceramide NP.
How to use
- Use it after toner or essence, before moisturizer, patted in rather than rubbed. AM and/or 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 Ceramide NP and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market ampoule or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Ceramide NP 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 Ceramide NP?
Niacinamide, Adenosine and Allantoin. The order they are printed in on this ampoule's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Ceramide NP sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Cholesterol, Ceramide NS and Ceramide EOP.

How it works
The Ceramide Shot Ampoule Jumbo is a 100ml ampoule, used after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. The barrier lipid it is built around is Ceramide NP, named sixteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Niacinamide, Adenosine and Allantoin, so the barrier lipid is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Ceramide NP 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, Ceramide NP and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this ampoule on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Ceramide NP on the list.
- Introduce this ampoule on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Ceramide NP rather than to three changes at once.

What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
Ceramides are part fatty acid and part amino acid and are able to be the grout that keeps the building blocks of the skin together and functioning as a barrier between the inside and outside world.
Amy Kassouf, MDDermatologist, Cleveland Clinic Allantoin can tone down the dryness of the individual cells. It increases the water content of the skin, which means it helps to hydrate and moisturize.

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.
