How it works
The Madeca Mela Capture Ampoule Capsule Cream is a 55ml ampoule, used after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. The active it is built around is Niacinamide, named third on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Adenosine, Madecassoside and Asiaticoside, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Niacinamide 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 Centellian24 sells in Korea, Niacinamide and all.

- Bisabolol and Sodium DNA further down the same list

Key actives
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. On this ampoule's own ingredient list it is named third.
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-eighth on this ampoule's list, alongside Niacinamide.
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 forty-fifth on this ampoule's list, beside Niacinamide.
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 fifty-fifth on this ampoule's list, alongside Niacinamide.
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 fifty-sixth on this ampoule's list, alongside Niacinamide.

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 Niacinamide and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market ampoule or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Niacinamide 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 Linalool. 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 Niacinamide?
Adenosine, Madecassoside and Asiaticoside. The order they are printed in on this ampoule's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Niacinamide sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Madecassic Acid, Asiatic Acid and Alpha-Arbutin.

How to use
- Use it as the last step of the routine, morning and evening, after your serum.
- A small amount warmed between the fingers, then pressed over face and neck.
- Keep the morning layer thin if makeup goes over it, and press rather than rub.
- Twice a day, and keep sunscreen in the morning routine while you are working on tone.
Worth knowing

- This list names Linalool, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.
