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 eighth.
Mentholactive
Menthol is the cooling compound in mint. It acts on the nerve receptor that also answers to cold, which is why skin feels cool without any change in temperature. The panel names it tenth on this ampoule's list, beside Niacinamide.
Salicylic Acidexfoliant
It loosens the dead cells that block pores and is used for the look of congested, oily skin. The panel names it twelfth on this ampoule's list, beside Niacinamide.
Centella Asiatica Extractplant extract
Centella Asiatica is the plant behind the whole cica category, sold as gotu kola or Madagascar centella. Its extract is the anchor of Korean formulas built for easily reddened skin, and its work is done by four triterpenes: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid. The panel names it seventeenth on this ampoule's list, beside Niacinamide.
Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extractplant extract
Camellia Sinensis is the tea plant. Green tea leaf extract carries catechins, among the most studied plant antioxidants, and is used for the look of redness and oily shine. The panel names it eighteenth on this ampoule's list, beside Niacinamide.
How to use
- After toner, AM and/or PM. Press or smooth over the face and let it settle before the next step.
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?
Menthol, Salicylic Acid and Centella Asiatica 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: Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract and Panthenol.

How it works
The Damage Therapy Scalp Scaling Ampoule is a 50ml ampoule, used after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. The active it is built around is Niacinamide, named eighth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Menthol, Salicylic Acid and Centella Asiatica 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. Growus sells this Niacinamide ampoule in Korea, and this is that version.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this ampoule on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Niacinamide on the list.
- This list names Fragrance, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.
- Betaine Salicylate and Salicylic Acid on this list makes this ampoule an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.
