How it works
Stem Cell Core Tension Ampoule 100ml is MAXCLINIC's take on the serum step. On its own ingredient list, Niacinamide sits at position 4 of 21 on the ingredient list, a vitamin B3 derivative widely used in Korean formulas to support an even-looking tone and smoother texture. Panthenol sits at position 7 of 21 on the ingredient list, a provitamin B5 derivative used for a soothing, moisture-holding finish. Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer sits at position 16 of 21 on the ingredient list, a salt form of hyaluronic acid that holds water at the skin's surface for a plumper feel. Adenosine sits at position 18 of 21 on the ingredient list, a wrinkle-care ingredient common in Korean anti-aging formulas. MAXCLINIC is a derma-cosmetic brand built around concentrated ampoule and shot-format treatments, and this formula carries that character through serum format rather than a stripped-down version of it. It belongs to the serum step, applied after toner and before moisturizer, and what it does for skin is best judged after it has had time to settle in, rather than by a single application. This is the Korean-market formula of stem cell core tension ampoule 100ml, the version sold on shelves in Korea rather than one reworked for a different market.

Pantothenol is a common ingredient in skin care and hair products I recommend, particularly for people who are prone to dryness.
Taylor Bullock, MDDermatology resident, Cleveland Clinic Hyaluronic acid helps bind water to collagen, which traps water in the skin. That helps make the skin more plump and full-looking.

Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.
