Key actives
9NIACINAMIDE
NIACINAMIDE is one of the most widely used tone and texture ingredients in Korean formulas, and its presence on this row's own ingredient list means it is genuinely part of the build rather than a name-only claim on the box.
17SODIUM DNA
SODIUM DNA (PDRN, salmon-sourced) sits at the center of Korean skincare's PDRN category and is confirmed on this row's own ingredient list rather than assumed from the product's PDRN naming.
21CERAMIDE NP
CERAMIDE NP is one of the lipids that make up the skin barrier's own structure, included here to support that barrier alongside the rest of the formula.
30HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN
HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN is a film-forming, moisture-binding ingredient Korean formulas built around firmness and plumpness lean on, confirmed here on this row's own ingredient list rather than inferred from the product's name.
33ADENOSINE
ADENOSINE is a wrinkle-care ingredient recognized in Korean cosmetic regulation. It sits on this formula's own ingredient list, which is what separates a confirmed component from a name printed on the front of the box.

Centellian24 AHA Aqua Peeling Boosting ampoule 30ml
Is the AHA Aqua Peeling Boosting ampoule on this page the Korean-market formula?
Yes. It is the release Centellian24 makes for sale inside Korea. The barcode on this one is 8806109101752. The same product name can carry a different ingredient list or a different size in an export version, and we list only the Korean one. Madeca is made by Dongkook Pharmaceutical rather than by a beauty house, and its season numbered releases do not survive export.
Where does the AHA Aqua Peeling Boosting ampoule sit in a routine?
It occupies the exfoliating step. Build the routine around the step you are replacing rather than the brand you recognise: a cleanser, a hydrating toner, one serum and one moisturizer is a complete routine, and four products chosen carefully tell you more about your skin than ten bought at once.
How does buying the AHA Aqua Peeling Boosting ampoule here compare with a US retailer?
A US listing carrying the same product name may be the export version and rarely tells you which one it is sending.

Ingredient list read from centellian24.com on 30 August 2026.
52 of 52 explained
- WATER solvent
- Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
- GLYCERIN humectant
- Glycerin is the most used humectant in skincare. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and holds it there, and it is one of the very few ingredients whose hydrating effect is settled science rather than marketing. Higher amounts feel tacky, which is why it is usually blended.
- PROPANEDIOL humectant
- Propanediol is a plant-derived glycol used in place of propylene glycol. It hydrates, carries actives into solution, and gives a lighter, less sticky slip than glycerin at the same strength.
- BIS-PEG-18 METHYL ETHER DIMETHYL SILANE silicone
- A water-soluble silicone used for a light, silky slip without an oily film. It also helps other ingredients spread evenly.
- METHYLPROPANEDIOL humectant
- Methylpropanediol is a small glycol used to hydrate and to help water-soluble actives penetrate the outer layer of skin more evenly. It leaves almost no tack, which suits watery textures.
- DIPROPYLENE GLYCOL humectant
- Dipropylene Glycol is a glycol used as a solvent and a light humectant. Its main job is keeping the rest of the formula dissolved and the texture fluid rather than adding hydration of its own.
- GLYCERETH-26 humectant
- Glycereth-26 is a modified glycerin that hydrates with far less stickiness than glycerin itself. It is a common way to load water into a formula that has to stay light.
- BUTYLENE GLYCOL humectant
- Butylene Glycol is a small glycol that does two jobs at once: it holds water in the top layer of skin and it dissolves plant extracts and actives that plain water cannot. It also thins a formula, which is why watery Korean essences lean on it.
- NIACINAMIDE active
- Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.
- METHYL GLUCETH-20 humectant
- Methyl Gluceth-20 is a sugar-derived humectant. It holds water in the outer layer of skin and gives a smooth, cushioned slip that plain glycerin does not.
- 1,2-HEXANEDIOL humectant
- 1,2-Hexanediol is a glycol used for two reasons: it holds water like glycerin, and it makes a formula harder for microbes to live in, so less traditional preservative is needed. Korean formulas use it heavily for that second reason.
- RAFFINOSE sugar
- Raffinose is a three-unit plant sugar found in beans and beetroot. It holds water in the outer layer of skin and helps a formula stay comfortable as it dries down.
40 more explained
- CYCLOHEXASILOXANE silicone
- Cyclohexasiloxane is a volatile silicone used for a light, fast-spreading feel that leaves nothing behind.
- PENTYLENE GLYCOL humectant
- Pentylene Glycol hydrates and, like the other longer-chain glycols, makes a formula less hospitable to microbes so the preservative system can be lighter. It also improves how evenly a product spreads.
- TREHALOSE humectant
- Trehalose is a sugar that some desert plants use to survive drying out. In skincare it is a humectant that holds water in the outer layer and helps a formula feel comfortable rather than tight.
- DIMETHICONE/VINYL DIMETHICONE CROSSPOLYMER silicone
- This is a silicone elastomer, a soft springy gel. It fills the look of fine texture and gives the velvety, blurred finish of a primer.
- SODIUM DNA active
- Sodium DNA is the salt of DNA, in Korean skincare almost always salmon derived, and it is the ingredient behind the PDRN category. It is used as a humectant and for the look of tired skin; the fragments themselves are what the name PDRN refers to.
- LACTOBACILLUS FERMENT ferment
- Lactobacillus Ferment is the liquid left after lactobacillus bacteria have fermented a plant or milk substrate. It carries the small molecules the fermentation produced, including lactic acid and amino acids, and is used for the look of dull, uneven skin.
- ACRYLATES/C10-30 ALKYL ACRYLATE CROSSPOLYMER thickener
- This is a carbomer relative with fatty side chains, so it thickens and stabilises an emulsion at the same time. It gives a light gel-cream body rather than a heavy one.
- CURCUMA LONGA (TURMERIC) ROOT EXTRACT plant extract
- Turmeric Root Extract carries curcuminoids, well studied plant antioxidants. It is used for the look of dullness and uneven tone, and it tints a formula faintly yellow.
- CERAMIDE NP barrier lipid
- Ceramide NP is the most used cosmetic ceramide, the same class of lipid that makes up roughly half the mortar between cells in the outer layer of skin. Added to a cream it slots into that structure, which is why ceramide formulas feel less leaky rather than merely greasy.
- TROMETHAMINE pH adjuster
- Tromethamine neutralises acidic thickeners such as carbomer so they gel, and holds a formula near skin-friendly pH. It is used at a fraction of a percent.
- GLYCERYL POLYMETHACRYLATE film former
- Glyceryl Polymethacrylate is a polymer that forms a smooth, water-holding film and gives a formula a cushioned, non-sticky feel.
- DIOSCOREA JAPONICA ROOT EXTRACT plant extract
- Dioscorea Japonica is Japanese wild yam, whose root is naturally slippery with mucilage. Its extract hydrates and leaves a cushioned feel.
- ETHYLHEXYLGLYCERIN preservative booster
- Ethylhexylglycerin softens skin and boosts a preservative system, which is why it is nearly always sitting beside phenoxyethanol or 1,2-hexanediol. It also cuts down the odour bacteria produce, so it turns up in deodorising products.
- GLYCOSYL TREHALOSE humectant
- A sugar humectant built on trehalose, the sugar that lets some plants survive drying out. It holds water at the surface with a light, non-sticky feel.
- SODIUM POLYACRYLATE thickener
- Sodium Polyacrylate is a polymer that absorbs many times its weight in water. It thickens a formula and holds water in a gel against the skin.
- PVM/MA COPOLYMER film former
- PVM/MA Copolymer is a film-forming polymer used to hold a formula in place and, in a mask, to give the peel-off film its strength.
- HYDROGENATED LECITHIN emulsifier
- Hydrogenated Lecithin is lecithin with its unsaturated bonds filled in, which makes it far more stable. It emulsifies and is the standard shell for the liposomes that carry actives into the outer layer of skin.
- HYDROLYZED COLLAGEN protein
- Hydrolyzed Collagen is collagen broken into fragments small enough to dissolve in water. It cannot become collagen in skin; what it does is hold water at the surface and leave a smooth, conditioned film.
- HYDROGENATED STARCH HYDROLYSATE humectant
- A starch-derived sugar syrup used as a humectant. It holds water and adds a soft cushioned slip without the tack of glycerin.
- XANTHAN GUM thickener
- Xanthan Gum is a polysaccharide made by fermenting sugar. It thickens a watery formula into a gel and holds the whole thing in suspension so nothing separates. Too much of it and a serum turns stringy, which is why it appears in fractions of a percent.
- ADENOSINE active
- 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.
- THEOBROMA CACAO (COCOA) SEED EXTRACT plant extract
- Cocoa Extract carries polyphenols and a little caffeine. It is used as an antioxidant plant extract and gives a faint warm tint.
- DEXTRIN thickener
- Dextrin is a starch fragment used to thicken and to give a formula a light, powdery finish. It is also a common carrier for powdered extracts.
- HYDROLYZED ELASTIN protein
- Hydrolyzed Elastin is fragments of elastin, the protein that gives skin its snap back. Like collagen it cannot rebuild the real thing from the outside; it holds water and leaves a smooth film.
- SUCROSE DISTEARATE emulsifier
- Sucrose Distearate is a sugar-based emulsifier that is mild and gives a light, silky feel. It also conditions skin.
- LECITHIN emulsifier
- Lecithin is a soy or sunflower-derived phospholipid, the same class of molecule cell membranes are built from. It emulsifies oil into water and is the basis of the liposomes formulators use to carry actives.
- CARBOMER thickener
- Carbomer is a synthetic polymer that only gels once a base neutralises it, which is why arginine or tromethamine sits nearby on the list. It gives the clear, non-stringy gel texture a xanthan formula cannot reach.
- POLYQUATERNIUM-51 film former
- Polyquaternium-51 is a polymer, sometimes sold as Lipidure, built on the same phosphorylcholine structure as a cell membrane. It holds water in a film on the surface and gives a distinctive soft, dry finish.
- POLYSORBATE 20 emulsifier
- Polysorbate 20 is a solubiliser: it dissolves small amounts of oil or fragrance into a watery formula so nothing separates or floats.
- GLYCERYL STEARATE emulsifier
- Glyceryl Stearate is glycerin joined to stearic acid, and one of the most used emulsifiers in skincare. It holds oil and water together and thickens the result, and it softens skin at the same time.
- BHT antioxidant
- BHT is a synthetic antioxidant used in traces to stop the oils in a formula going rancid. It protects the product, not the skin.
- CYANOCOBALAMIN vitamin
- Cyanocobalamin is vitamin B12, and it is a deep pink-red, which is why a formula carrying it often has a colour nobody added on purpose. It is used as a conditioning vitamin.
- BIOSACCHARIDE GUM-1 polysaccharide
- Biosaccharide Gum-1 is a fermentation-derived sugar polymer that binds to skin and holds a moisture film in place. It gives a silky, non-tacky feel.
- TOCOPHEROL antioxidant
- Tocopherol is vitamin E. It is an oil-soluble antioxidant that protects the oils in a formula from going rancid and works on skin as an emollient, and it is regularly paired with vitamin C because each keeps the other going for longer.
- PALMITOYL PENTAPEPTIDE-4 peptide
- Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4 is the five-amino-acid peptide originally sold as Matrixyl. It is used for the look of fine lines and is one of the longest-standing cosmetic peptides.
- PANAX GINSENG ROOT EXTRACT plant extract
- Ginseng Root Extract is the signature ingredient of Korean traditional skincare, carrying ginsenosides. It is used for the look of tired, dull skin, and brands often ferment it to break the ginsenosides into smaller forms.
- CARNOSINE antioxidant
- Carnosine is a small peptide of two amino acids that acts as an antioxidant, particularly against the sugar-driven damage formulators call glycation. It is used for the look of dull, sallow skin.
- CALENDULA OFFICINALIS FLOWER OIL emollient
- Marigold flowers steeped in a carrier oil, which is what a flower oil of this kind usually is. It carries the flower's oil-soluble carotenoids.
- PANAX GINSENG VESICLES plant extract
- The membrane-bound packets isolated from ginseng tissue. It is a recent Korean way of declaring the plant's own compounds as vesicles rather than as a whole extract.
- RETINOL active
- Retinol is the alcohol form of vitamin A and the strongest retinoid available without a prescription. Skin converts it in two steps to retinoic acid, and it is used at night, at low percentages, for the look of fine lines and rough texture. It can leave skin flaking while it acclimatises.

How it works
This exfoliant sits in Centellian24's centella-based range, built around the ingredients printed on its own box rather than a single headline claim. Niacinamide is a tone-focused ingredient that shows up across the brand's line. Sodium DNA (PDRN) is a salmon-derived ingredient Korean labs favor for a plumping, cushioned feel. Turmeric rounds out the formula as a botanical associated with an even-looking finish. In use, it works as a treatment step used a few times a week rather than every day. Give the formula a few weeks in the routine before judging it, and adjust frequency to how skin responds rather than a fixed schedule.
How to use
- Use it after cleansing, on dry skin, before the rest of the routine.
- A thin layer smoothed over the face, kept off the eye area and any broken skin.
- Let it settle, then follow with a moisturizer rather than leaving skin bare.
- Start at two or three evenings a week. Do not use it in the same routine as a retinoid or a scrub.
Worth knowing
- New to this formula: patch-test on the inner arm and wait a day before applying it to the face.
- Discontinue use if redness, itching, or irritation develops and rinse the area with water.
