Key actives
Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Water
Tea Tree Leaf Water is the distillate, used in place of plain water as a base. It carries a trace of the plant's aroma and none of the essential oil's strength.
Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil
Tea Tree Leaf Oil is an essential oil from an Australian shrub, carrying terpinen-4-ol. Korean formulas use it in products aimed at blemish-prone skin; it is potent, aromatic, and one of the essential oils most likely to bother reactive skin.
Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Extract
Tea Tree Leaf Extract is the water-based extract rather than the essential oil, so it is far milder and much less aromatic. It is used in formulas for blemish-prone skin.
Allantoin
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.
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is the licorice fraction Korean formulas use for the look of redness, and it is far more stable in water than the whole extract.
Gardenia Florida Fruit 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.
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 Panthenol do in this ampoule?
Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) sits within the first ten ingredients as the formula's moisture-retention and comfort ingredient, a standard soothing base in Korean-market formulas.
What does Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Water do in this formula?
Tea Tree Leaf Water is the distillate, used in place of plain water as a base. It carries a trace of the plant's aroma and none of the essential oil's strength. It is named on this product's own ingredient panel.
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?

How it works
The panel on this ampoule names four forms of tea tree rather than one: Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Water, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Extract, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Extract. Tea Tree Leaf Water is the distillate, used in place of plain water as a base. It carries a trace of the plant's aroma and none of the essential oil's strength. On this panel it sits alongside Allantoin, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and Gardenia Florida Fruit Extract. 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.
