Key actives
Propolis Extractplant extract
Propolis is the resin bees collect from tree buds and use to seal the hive. It is rich in flavonoids, carries a warm amber colour and scent, and is used for the look of dull, stressed skin. The name on the box points at it, and it is named second on this ampoule's own ingredient list.
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. It is named thirteenth on this ampoule's list, alongside Propolis 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 fourteenth on this ampoule's list, alongside Propolis Extract.
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1peptide
Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 is a short peptide with a fatty tail added so it can travel through the oily outer layer of skin. It is used for the look of firmness and is almost always paired with palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7. The panel names it thirty-third on this ampoule's list, beside Propolis Extract.
Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7peptide
Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 is a four-amino-acid peptide with a fatty tail, used for the look of fine lines. With palmitoyl tripeptide-1 it forms the pairing sold as Matrixyl 3000. It is named thirty-fourth on this ampoule's list, alongside Propolis Extract.
How to use
- Use it after toner or essence, before moisturizer, patted in rather than rubbed. AM and/or PM.
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 Propolis Extract and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market ampoule or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Propolis 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.
What else is on the list besides Propolis Extract?
Madecassoside, Allantoin and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1. The order they are printed in on this ampoule's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Propolis Extract sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Biotin and Ascorbyl Palmitate.

How it works
The Propolis Energy Ampule is a 35ml ampoule, used after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. The plant extract it is built around is Propolis Extract, named second on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Madecassoside, Allantoin and Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, so the plant extract is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Propolis 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 CNP sells in Korea, Propolis Extract and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this ampoule on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Propolis Extract on the list.
- Introduce this ampoule on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Propolis Extract rather than to three changes at once.
