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 tenth.
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. The panel names it twenty-first on this ampoule's list, beside Niacinamide.
Zea Mays (Corn) Kernel Extractplant extract
Corn kernel extract, mostly starch-derived sugars with some amino acids. It is used as a conditioning, water-holding extract. The panel names it twentieth on this ampoule's list, beside Niacinamide.
Eriobotrya Japonica Leaf Extractplant extract
Eriobotrya Japonica is loquat. Its leaf extract carries triterpenes and is used as a conditioning antioxidant extract. It is named twenty-second on this ampoule's list, alongside Niacinamide.
Cetyl Ethylhexanoateemollient
Cetyl Ethylhexanoate is a synthetic ester used as a dry-feeling emollient. It spreads easily, leaves a silky rather than oily finish, and helps disperse pigments and UV filters evenly. It is named eighth on this ampoule's list, alongside Niacinamide.
How to use
- Use it by pressing a few drops into skin after toner and before moisturizer, working it into the skin in the position this serum occupies in a full routine, and following up with the next step once it has settled.
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.
Does this ampoule contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Fragrance. 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, Zea Mays (Corn) Kernel Extract and Eriobotrya Japonica Leaf Extract. 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: Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Glycereth-25 PCA Isostearate and Glycereth-26.

How it works
The Picotonic Shot Pigmentation Ampoule is a 30ml ampoule, used after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. The active it is built around is Niacinamide, named tenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Adenosine, Zea Mays (Corn) Kernel Extract and Eriobotrya Japonica Leaf Extract, 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. Dr. Melaxin sells this Niacinamide ampoule in Korea, and this is that version.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on a small area before full-face use if you have known sensitivities.
- Discontinue use if irritation, redness, or discomfort develops.
