How it works
The Vitalizing Rosemary Firming Ampoule is a 30ml ampoule, used after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. The plant extract it is built around is Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Extract, named fourteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Niacinamide, Allantoin and Madecassoside, so the plant extract is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Extract 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 AROMATICA sells in Korea, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Extract and all.

Key actives
Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Extractplant extract
Rosemary extract with the plant part unstated. Rosemary carries rosmarinic and carnosic acid, and it is also used to keep the oils in a formula from going rancid. The name on the box points at it, and it is named fourteenth 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 Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Extract.
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. It is named twenty-fifth on this ampoule's list, alongside Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Extract.
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. The panel names it thirty-first on this ampoule's list, beside Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Extract.
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 thirty-second on this ampoule's list, alongside Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Extract.
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 Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Extract and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market ampoule or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Extract 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 Limonene. 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 Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Extract?
Niacinamide, Allantoin and Madecassoside. The order they are printed in on this ampoule's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Extract sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Adenosine, Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate and Asiaticoside.

How to use
- Apply it after your toner, while the face is still slightly damp, so a thin layer spreads without dragging.
- Three or four drops cover the whole face; press it in with the flats of the fingers rather than rubbing.
- Follow with a moisturizer within a minute so the thin layer has something holding it down.
- Do not stack it under a second serum doing the same job, since more layers is not the same as more result.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this ampoule on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Extract on the list.
- This list names Limonene, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.
- Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate is on this list, so keep this ampoule to the evening and build the nights up slowly rather than starting nightly.

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.
