Key actives
Collagen
Collagen is the structural protein that makes up most of the dermis. Applied on top it is far too large to enter skin, so in a formula it works as a humectant and a smoothing film former.
Collagen Extract
Collagen Extract is a collagen-bearing extract, usually from fish skin or scales. In a formula it works as a humectant and a smoothing film rather than as a source of new collagen.
Hydrolyzed Collagen
Hydrolyzed Collagen is collagen broken into fragments small enough to dissolve in water. It cannot become collagen in skin; what it does is hold water at the surface and leave a smooth, conditioned film.
Water-Soluble Collagen
Soluble Collagen is collagen kept in its intact triple-helix form and dissolved rather than cut up. It sits on the surface as a water-holding film.
Niacinamide
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.
Retinol
Retinol is the alcohol form of vitamin A and the strongest retinoid available without a prescription. Skin converts it in two steps to retinoic acid, and it is used at night, at low percentages, for the look of fine lines and rough texture. It can leave skin flaking while it acclimatises.
Hydrolyzed Extensin
Extensin is a structural glycoprotein from plant cell walls. Hydrolysed, it is cut into fragments small enough to dissolve, and it works as a water-holding film on the surface.
How to use
- Apply a small amount to cleansed skin, patting it in before the next step. A few drops is enough for the whole face.
What does Trehalose do in this ampoule?
Trehalose sits among the first ingredients on the list, a sugar-derived humectant that helps the formula hold moisture at the skin surface.
Is Niacinamide also in this formula?
Niacinamide sits within the first ten ingredients, the tone-evening, barrier-supporting active Korean formulas lean on most often, and its early position here means it is not a token dose. It sits alongside Trehalose on MEDIHEAL's ingredient list for this product.
How is this ampoule used in a routine?
Apply a small amount to cleansed skin, patting it in before the next step. A few drops is enough for the whole face. It works as a concentrated step layered under moisturiser.
Who is this ampoule suited for?
Normal skin, Dry or dehydrated skin are the best fit for this ampoule. Patch test on the inner arm before first full use, as with any new skincare product.

How it works
The panel on this ampoule names four forms of collagen rather than one: Collagen, Collagen Extract, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Water-Soluble Collagen. Collagen is the structural protein that makes up most of the dermis. Applied on top it is far too large to enter skin, so in a formula it works as a humectant and a smoothing film former. On this panel it sits alongside Niacinamide, Retinol and Hydrolyzed Extensin. Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on the inner arm before first full use, as with any new skincare product.

What professionals say
What professionals say
What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
Topical collagen is a very large molecule that's too big to absorb into the skin.
Michelle Henry, MDDermatologist, Cosmopolitan Vitamin A has a molecular structure that's tiny enough to get into the lower layers of your skin, where it finds and boosts collagen and elastin, which is a protein that strengthens your skin's flexibility.
Wilma Bergfeld, MDDermatologist, Cleveland Clinic

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.
