Key actives
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8peptide
Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is a six-amino-acid peptide used for the look of expression lines, particularly around the eyes. It is the peptide sold under the name Argireline and is water soluble and stable. The name on the box points at it, and it is named eleventh 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 Acetyl Hexapeptide-8.
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 tenth on this ampoule's list, alongside Acetyl Hexapeptide-8.
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizateactive
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is named sixteenth on this ampoule's list, alongside Acetyl Hexapeptide-8.
Lactic Acidexfoliant
Lactic Acid is a larger AHA than glycolic, so it works nearer the surface and is easier on skin, and it is a humectant as well as an exfoliant. It is the AHA of choice for dry skin. It is named fortieth on this ampoule's list, alongside Acetyl Hexapeptide-8.
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 Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market ampoule or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 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.
Does this ampoule contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Fragrance. It sits on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this ampoule is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Acetyl Hexapeptide-8?
Niacinamide, Adenosine and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate. The order they are printed in on this ampoule's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Lactic Acid, Glycolic Acid and Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4.

How it works
The Peptide Shot Ampoule is a 100ml ampoule, used after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. The peptide it is built around is Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, named eleventh on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Niacinamide, Adenosine and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, so the peptide is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 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, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this ampoule on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 on the list.
- This list names Fragrance, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.
- Glycolic Acid and Lactic Acid on this list makes this ampoule an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.

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.
