Key actives
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. On this ampoule's own ingredient list it is named ninth.
Tranexamic Acidactive
Tranexamic Acid is a synthetic amino acid derivative used for the look of stubborn discolouration and post-blemish marks. It is water soluble, stable and comfortable next to niacinamide, which is how it is usually paired. The panel names it tenth on this ampoule's list, beside Niacinamide.
Chondrus Crispus Extractplant extract
Chondrus Crispus is Irish moss, a red seaweed. It is loaded with carrageenan, so it hydrates and thickens at once, and it leaves a cushioned, slippery film. The panel names it eleventh on this ampoule's list, beside Niacinamide.
Saccharum Officinarum (Sugarcane) Extractplant extract
Sugarcane Extract carries natural glycolic acid and sugars. In cosmetics it is used as a humectant; the acid content is far too low to work as an exfoliant. It is named thirteenth on this ampoule's list, alongside Niacinamide.
Morus Alba Fruit Extractplant extract
White mulberry fruit extract. It carries anthocyanins and fruit acids and is used as a conditioning antioxidant extract, while the root bark of the same plant is used for tone. The panel names it twenty-second on this ampoule's list, beside Niacinamide.
How to use
- Use this serum AM and/or PM, as the serum step, after toner or essence and before moisturizer. Pat or smooth it on rather than rubbing, and give it a moment to settle before layering the next step.
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 Niacinamide and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market ampoule or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Niacinamide 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 Niacinamide?
Tranexamic Acid, Chondrus Crispus Extract and Saccharum Officinarum (Sugarcane) Extract. The order they are printed in on this ampoule's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Niacinamide sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Morus Alba Fruit Extract and Panthenol.

How it works
The Mulberry Blemish Clearing Ampoule is a 30ml ampoule, used after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. The active it is built around is Niacinamide, named ninth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Tranexamic Acid, Chondrus Crispus Extract and Saccharum Officinarum (Sugarcane) Extract, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Niacinamide 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 A'PIEU sells in Korea, Niacinamide and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on the inner arm before applying to the face, as with any new skincare formula.
- Introduce a new active gradually into an existing routine rather than adding several new products at once.
