Key actives
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 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 seventeenth on this ampoule's list, alongside Tranexamic Acid.
Madecassic Acidactive
Madecassic Acid is the fourth centella triterpene. A list that names all four is telling you the extract was standardised rather than simply pressed, which is the difference between a cica claim and a cica formula. It is named eighteenth on this ampoule's list, alongside Tranexamic Acid.
Asiaticosideactive
Asiaticoside is one of the four active triterpenes isolated from centella and the most studied of them. Korean formulas name it separately when they want to show which fraction of the plant they standardised. It is named nineteenth on this ampoule's list, alongside Tranexamic Acid.
Asiatic Acidactive
Asiatic Acid is the third of centella's four triterpenes and the aglycone form, meaning it has no attached sugar. It is oil soluble, so it turns up in cica creams and balms more than in watery layers. It is named twentieth on this ampoule's list, alongside Tranexamic Acid.
How to use
- Apply after toner and before moisturizer. Pat or smooth it over a cleansed face and let it absorb before the next step, AM and 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 Tranexamic Acid and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market ampoule or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Tranexamic Acid 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 Tranexamic Acid?
Niacinamide, Madecassic Acid and Asiaticoside. The order they are printed in on this ampoule's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Tranexamic Acid sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Asiatic Acid, Allantoin and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate.

How it works
The Tranexamic Acid Niacinamide Ampoule Serum is a 40ml ampoule, used after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. The active it is built around is Tranexamic Acid, named sixteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Niacinamide, Madecassic Acid and Asiaticoside, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Tranexamic Acid 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 APLB sells in Korea, Tranexamic Acid and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this ampoule on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Tranexamic Acid on the list.
- Introduce this ampoule on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Tranexamic Acid 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.
