How it works
Missha is a mainstream Korean drugstore brand with one of the longest-running catalogs in Korean skincare, and Vita C Plus 27 Expert Ampoule 17g is formulated as an ampoule for the Korean market rather than a US-shelf reformulation. Adenosine is a wrinkle-care ingredient standard across Korean cosmetics, commonly included to support a firmer, smoother-looking surface as part of a daily routine. It sits at position 33 of 48 ingredients on this row's own list, ahead of most of the formula's supporting agents. Centella Asiatica Extract is the calming botanical behind the cica category in Korean skincare, traditionally included to support a soothed, less reactive-looking complexion. Further down the list, Ceramide NP appears at position 39 of 48, adding a supporting layer rather than the lead role.

- Adenosine closes out the back half of the list at position 33 of 48, a supporting rather than lead role.

- Ceramide NP closes out the back half of the list at position 39 of 48, a supporting rather than lead role.
- Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid closes out the back half of the list at position 40 of 48, a supporting rather than lead role.
- Panthenol appears at position 9 of 48 on the ingredient list, ahead of most of the formula's supporting agents.
- No fragrance or parfum appears on this 48-ingredient list.

It suits normal, dry, combination and sensitive skin looking for concentrated treatment step. Patch test on a small area first if you are new to this formula or to the brand.
How do I use the Vita C Plus 27 Expert Ampoule 17g?
Apply after toner and before moisturizer, pressing a small amount evenly over the face. Give it a few weeks in that slot before judging the result, since an ampoule works cumulatively rather than after one use.

Payment and security
We accept
How to use
- Use it after your toner or essence, when the skin is still slightly damp.
- Take two or three drops, press them over the areas that need the work and then over the rest of the face.
- Seal it with your moisturiser, since an ampoule on its own leaves the surface a little tacky.
- Do not use it in place of your moisturiser, and do not start with a full pipette on skin that has not had it before.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on a small area first if you are new to this formula or to the brand.
- Introduce it gradually alongside other active steps rather than adding several new products at once.
