Key actives
Arbutinactive
Arbutin is the naturally occurring form of the same compound, from bearberry and related plants, used for the look of uneven tone. The alpha isomer is the more stable of the two. On this ampoule's own ingredient list it is named sixth.
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 eleventh on this ampoule's list, alongside Arbutin.
Vaccinium Angustifolium Fruit Extractplant extract
Lowbush blueberry fruit extract, high in anthocyanins. Berry extracts are used as plant antioxidants and can tint a formula. It is named seventh on this ampoule's list, alongside Arbutin.
Vaccinium Macrocarpon (Cranberry) Fruit Extractplant extract
Cranberry fruit extract, acidic and high in proanthocyanidins. It is used as an antioxidant berry extract. It is named ninth on this ampoule's list, alongside Arbutin.
Euterpe Oleracea (Acai) Fruit Extractplant extract
Acai fruit extract, from the Amazonian palm berry. It carries anthocyanins, the same purple pigment polyphenols found in blueberry, and is used as a plant antioxidant. The panel names it tenth on this ampoule's list, beside Arbutin.
How to use
- Apply to clean, toned skin, pressing in gently before 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 Arbutin and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market ampoule or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Arbutin 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 Arbutin?
Adenosine, Vaccinium Angustifolium Fruit Extract and Vaccinium Macrocarpon (Cranberry) Fruit Extract. The order they are printed in on this ampoule's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Arbutin sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Euterpe Oleracea (Acai) Fruit Extract, Zanthoxylum Piperitum Fruit Extract and Pulsatilla Koreana Extract.

How it works
The Rose Stem Cell Ampoule is a 30ml ampoule, used after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. The active it is built around is Arbutin, named sixth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Adenosine, Vaccinium Angustifolium Fruit Extract and Vaccinium Macrocarpon (Cranberry) Fruit Extract, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Arbutin 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 Bonajour sells in Korea, Arbutin and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on the inner arm first, as with any new step added to a routine.
- Discontinue if irritation develops and check the ingredient list against any known sensitivity.

What professionals say

What skin-care professionals say about skin care, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
Arbutin works to inhibit tyrosinase, an enzyme present in melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells in the skin. This results in less pigment, dark spots and skin lightening.
Tiffany Jow Libby, MDBoard-certified dermatologist, mindbodygreen Pretty much every step of a Korean skin care routine is going to have some component of hydration.
