How it works
The Pot Pore Tightening Podo Ampoule is a 52ml ampoule, used after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. The peptide it is built around is Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, named fifteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Tocopherol, Hydrolyzed Gardenia Florida Extract and Hydrolyzed Malt Extract, so the peptide is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 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 HEVEBLUE sells in Korea, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and all.
Key benefits
- Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, the peptide this ampoule is built around
- Tocopherol on the same list, an antioxidant
- Hydrolyzed Gardenia Florida Extract, Hydrolyzed Malt Extract and Hydrolyzed Viola Tricolor Extract on the same list, plant extracts
- Phaseolus Angularis Seed Extract and Coix Lacryma-Jobi Ma-Yuen Seed Extract further down the same list
- Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract and Glycereth-25 PCA Isostearate further down the same list
- Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 named fifteenth on the manufacturer list printed on this page
How to use
- Apply a few drops of Pot Pore Tightening Podo Ampoule 52ml to cleansed, toned skin, pat in until absorbed, then follow with moisturizer.
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 Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market ampoule or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 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 Acetyl Hexapeptide-8?
Tocopherol, Hydrolyzed Gardenia Florida Extract and Hydrolyzed Malt Extract. The order they are printed in on this ampoule's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Hydrolyzed Viola Tricolor Extract, Phaseolus Angularis Seed Extract and Coix Lacryma-Jobi Ma-Yuen Seed Extract.

26 of 28 explained
- Water solvent
- Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
- Butylene Glycol humectant
- Butylene Glycol is a small glycol that does two jobs at once: it holds water in the top layer of skin and it dissolves plant extracts and actives that plain water cannot. It also thins a formula, which is why watery Korean essences lean on it.
- Glycerin humectant
- Glycerin is the most used humectant in skincare. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and holds it there, and it is one of the very few ingredients whose hydrating effect is settled science rather than marketing. Higher amounts feel tacky, which is why it is usually blended.
- 1,2-Hexanediol humectant
- 1,2-Hexanediol is a glycol used for two reasons: it holds water like glycerin, and it makes a formula harder for microbes to live in, so less traditional preservative is needed. Korean formulas use it heavily for that second reason.
- Panthenol humectant
- Panthenol is pro-vitamin B5: skin converts it to pantothenic acid. It is a humectant that holds water and leaves skin feeling soft and less tight, and it is one of the ingredients formulators reach for when a formula also contains something harsh.
- Hyaluronic Acid humectant
- Hyaluronic Acid is a sugar chain the body already makes, and one gram of it can hold several litres of water. In a formula it is a humectant that pulls water to the surface of skin and holds it in a film, which is what makes skin look plumper while it is there.
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid humectant
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid is hyaluronic acid cut into much shorter fragments. The smaller the fragment, the further into the outer layer it can settle, which is why serums stack several sizes together instead of using one.
- Sodium Hyaluronate humectant
- Sodium Hyaluronate is the salt of hyaluronic acid, and it is what most products labelled hyaluronic actually contain. The salt dissolves more readily and the molecule is smaller, so it sits in the outer layer of skin rather than only on top of it.
- Hydrolyzed Gardenia Florida Extract plant extract
- Hydrolyzed Gardenia Florida Extract is gardenia extract broken into smaller fragments so a water-based formula can carry it evenly.
- Hydrolyzed Malt Extract plant extract
- Malt extract with its sugars and proteins already broken into smaller pieces. It is used as a hydrating, conditioning extract.
- Hydrolyzed Viola Tricolor Extract plant extract
- Heartsease, the wild pansy, with its extract broken into smaller fragments. It is used as a conditioning plant extract.
- Phaseolus Angularis Seed Extract (1000ppm) plant extract
- Adzuki bean seed extract, the pat of Korean home skincare. It carries saponins and starches and is used as a conditioning, mildly cleansing extract.
14 more explained
- Coix Lacryma-Jobi Ma-Yuen Seed Extract plant extract
- Adlay, or Job tears, a grain used in both Korean cooking and Korean herbal practice. The seed extract carries starch-derived sugars and amino acids.
- Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 peptide
- Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 is a six-amino-acid peptide used for the look of expression lines, particularly around the eyes. It is the peptide sold under the name Argireline and is water soluble and stable.
- Tocopherol antioxidant
- Tocopherol is vitamin E. It is an oil-soluble antioxidant that protects the oils in a formula from going rancid and works on skin as an emollient, and it is regularly paired with vitamin C because each keeps the other going for longer.
- Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract plant extract
- Gardenia Fruit Extract is the traditional East Asian yellow dye plant. In skincare it is used as an antioxidant extract, and it can tint a formula.
- Glycereth-25 Pca Isostearate emollient
- Glycereth-25 PCA Isostearate is a water-dispersible emollient that softens skin and helps oils and water stay mixed. It reads as light rather than rich on the skin.
- Propanediol humectant
- Propanediol is a plant-derived glycol used in place of propylene glycol. It hydrates, carries actives into solution, and gives a lighter, less sticky slip than glycerin at the same strength.
- Arginine amino acid
- Arginine is an amino acid that does two jobs here: it holds water in the outer layer of skin, and it neutralises acidic gelling agents, which is why it often stands in for a synthetic pH adjuster.
- Carbomer thickener
- Carbomer is a synthetic polymer that only gels once a base neutralises it, which is why arginine or tromethamine sits nearby on the list. It gives the clear, non-stringy gel texture a xanthan formula cannot reach.
- Hydroxyacetophenone preservative booster
- Hydroxyacetophenone is an antioxidant that also strengthens a preservative system, so a formula needs less traditional preservative. Korean formulas pair it with 1,2-hexanediol constantly.
- Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil emollient
- Sunflower Seed Oil is high in linoleic acid, the fatty acid dry and blemish-prone skin is often short of. It is a light, non-fragrant emollient and one of the better tolerated plant oils.
- Ethylhexylglycerin preservative booster
- Ethylhexylglycerin softens skin and boosts a preservative system, which is why it is nearly always sitting beside phenoxyethanol or 1,2-hexanediol. It also cuts down the odour bacteria produce, so it turns up in deodorising products.
- Disodium EDTA chelator
- EDTA is a chelator: it locks up trace metal ions from water and packaging that would otherwise turn a formula cloudy, off-colour or rancid. It does nothing to skin and appears at a fraction of a percent.
- Sodium Polyacrylate thickener
- Sodium Polyacrylate is a polymer that absorbs many times its weight in water. It thickens a formula and holds water in a gel against the skin.
- Dextrin thickener
- Dextrin is a starch fragment used to thicken and to give a formula a light, powdery finish. It is also a common carrier for powdered extracts.

Worth knowing
- Patch test this ampoule on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 on the list.
- Introduce this ampoule on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 rather than to three changes at once.
