How it works
This is a concentrate rather than a hydrating layer, which is why the bottle is small and the dose is drops rather than pumps. It feels watery going on and turns tacky for a moment before it settles, which is the point at which the next step goes on. Being a leave on step it keeps working under a cream, unlike a mask that comes off after its time is up. It belongs early in the order because thin fluids go under thick ones, and a cream applied first would block it. What you can judge for yourself is how even the tone looks in daylight after several weeks of steady use.
Key benefits
- What it is: ampoule, 28ml, used the treatment step after toner and before a cream.
- Texture: a thin concentrated fluid spent in drops.
- Aimed at: the look of dark spots, uneven looking tone, dullness.
- Original Korean Formula: the version sold on Korean shelves, not a US reformulation.
Key actives
Centella Asiatica Extract
Centella Asiatica Extract is the calming botanical Korean skincare built an entire ingredient category around, and it is confirmed here on this row's own list rather than inferred from the brand's centella-forward branding.
Phytosqualane
Phytosqualane is a lightweight emollient that closely mirrors skin's own natural oils, chosen for a finish that sits comfortably rather than heavily.
Niacinamide
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.
Tranexamic Acid
Tranexamic Acid is a brightening ingredient with a strong following in Korean dermo-cosmetics, and this row's own ingredient list confirms it rather than a percentage printed only on the front label.
Madecassic Acid
Madecassic Acid is a triterpene compound, one of the centella-family actives Korean skincare uses for its calming reputation, and its place on this formula's own list is what makes it a real inclusion rather than an assumption from the category.
What is the Centellian24 Expert Madeca Mela Capture Ampoule Rx 28ml?
It is a 28ml concentrated fluid worn as a leave on step between toner and cream, made for someone whose main interest is the look of dark spots and uneven tone. Being a concentrate rather than a hydrating layer, a few drops cover the whole face. It is the treatment slot of a routine rather than the comfort slot.
Where does the ampoule go in my routine?
It goes after cleansing and toner and before any emulsion, cream or oil. The order rule is thinnest first, and an ampoule is one of the thinnest things in a routine, so applying it after a cream wastes most of it. You can use it once or twice a day depending on how busy the rest of the routine already is.
How much of the 28ml should I use at a time?
Two or three drops cover a whole adult face, which is what the small bottle assumes. More is not better with a concentrate: the surface can only hold so much before the excess sits on top and transfers onto a collar. Spend it as a thin even film and let it settle before the next layer.
Can I use the ampoule with the rest of my routine?
Yes, and the simplest way is to introduce it on its own for a week so you learn how your skin takes it. After that it pairs without trouble with a hydrating toner and a barrier cream. What to avoid is beginning it alongside another new treatment, because you lose the ability to tell which one caused a sting.
Is this the authentic Korean-market formula?
Yes. We stock the version sold on Korean shelves rather than one reworked for US retail, and the 28ml arrives with Korean primary packaging and the barcode intact so you can check it against the brand yourself.

Payment and security
We accept
How to use
- Apply it straight after toner while the face is still damp, which is when a thin fluid spreads the furthest.
- Use two or three drops for the whole face and press them in with flat fingertips instead of massaging.
- Seal it with a moisturiser, because a concentrate left uncovered on the surface is the layer that dries out first.
- Avoid piling several strong treatments on the same night, since stacking is what turns a routine uncomfortable.
Worth knowing
- Start every other night if your skin reacts easily to a new treatment step.
- Patch test along the jawline for a few days before taking it over the whole face.

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.
