How it works
The Mugwort Calming Ampoule is a 50ml ampoule, used after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening. The plant extract it is built around is Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract, named first on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Allantoin and Ceramide NP, so the plant extract is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Artemisia Princeps Leaf 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 Isntree sells in Korea, Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract and all.

Key actives
Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extractplant extract
Artemisia Princeps is Korean mugwort, one of the country's oldest skincare and bathing plants. Its leaf extract is used for the look of reddened, reactive skin, and it is the ingredient behind the mugwort category. The name on the box points at it, and it is named first on this ampoule's own ingredient list.
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizateactive
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is named thirteenth on this ampoule's list, alongside Artemisia Princeps Leaf 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 sixteenth on this ampoule's list, alongside Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract.
Ceramide NPbarrier lipid
Ceramide NP is the most used cosmetic ceramide, the same class of lipid that makes up roughly half the mortar between cells in the outer layer of skin. Added to a cream it slots into that structure, which is why ceramide formulas feel less leaky rather than merely greasy. The panel names it fifteenth on this ampoule's list, beside Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract.
Beta-Glucanpolysaccharide
Beta-Glucan is a polysaccharide from oats or yeast. It holds a large amount of water, forms a soothing film, and is one of the ingredients formulators reach for in products aimed at reactive skin. The panel names it twelfth on this ampoule's list, beside Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract.
Isntree Mugwort Calming Ampoule
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 Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market ampoule or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Artemisia Princeps Leaf 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 Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract?
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Allantoin and Ceramide NP. The order they are printed in on this ampoule's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Beta-Glucan, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract and Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract.

How to use
- Use the Mugwort Calming Ampoule after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening.
- Half a dropper, or two or three drops, is the amount for a whole face. Press it in rather than spreading it thin.
- It sits between the toner and the moisturizer, and it is the layer most worth leaving alone for a minute before anything covers it.
- Twice a day, every day. Do not use it as a spot application on one area; an ampoule is a routine step, not a targeted dose.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this ampoule on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract on the list.
- Introduce this ampoule on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract rather than to three changes at once.

Additionally, it has been shown to improve dry skin in those with atopic dermatitis. It also can be good for those with acne-prone skin because of the antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits.

Allantoin can tone down the dryness of the individual cells. It increases the water content of the skin, which means it helps to hydrate and moisturize.
