How it works
Tranexamic Acid leads the ingredient panel on this ampoule. Tranexamic Acid is a synthetic amino acid derivative used for the look of stubborn discolouration and post-blemish marks. It is water soluble, stable and comfortable next to niacinamide, which is how it is usually paired. On this panel it sits alongside Niacinamide, Centella Asiatica Extract and Madecassoside. 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.

Key actives
Tranexamic Acid
Tranexamic Acid is a synthetic amino acid derivative used for the look of stubborn discolouration and post-blemish marks. It is water soluble, stable and comfortable next to niacinamide, which is how it is usually paired.
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.
Centella Asiatica Extract
Centella Asiatica is the plant behind the whole cica category, sold as gotu kola or Madagascar centella. Its extract is the anchor of Korean formulas built for easily reddened skin, and its work is done by four triterpenes: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid.
Madecassoside
Madecassoside is the centella triterpene most associated with the look of redness, and the one brands lead with in cica products. It is water soluble and stable, so it appears in essences as readily as in creams.
SKIN1004 Tone Brightening Capsule Ampoule 30ml
Is the Tone Brightening Capsule Ampoule 30ml sold here the Korean-market formula, not a US reformulation?
Yes. This listing is the release SKIN1004 sells for use inside Korea, the same formula Korean shoppers buy off the shelf there. A product with the same name can carry a different ingredient list or a different size in an export version, and we source and list only the Korean one, with that market's barcode and batch code intact on the unit that ships to you.
What is Niacinamide doing in this formula?
Niacinamide is the first ingredient of real substance on this product's own ingredient list, which puts it at the front of what the formula is built around rather than a trace addition. The rest of the list supports the texture and feel around it, in the concentration order the manufacturer itself declares.
Where does the Tone Brightening Capsule Ampoule 30ml sit in a routine?
It occupies the serum step. After toner and before moisturizer, morning and/or evening. Build a routine around the step you are replacing rather than the brand you recognize, since a handful of well-chosen steps tells you more about your skin than a shelf of unrelated products.
What size does the Tone Brightening Capsule Ampoule 30ml ship in?
It ships at 30ml, the size SKIN1004 sells this product at inside Korea. We do not substitute an export format or a US-only size for the Korean one, so what you receive matches what a shopper buys for it in Seoul.
How can I check that my Tone Brightening Capsule Ampoule 30ml is genuine?
Your unit ships with its Korean-market barcode and batch code intact.

How to use
- Use the Tone Brightening Capsule 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 on the inner arm before a first full-face application, as with any new skincare product.
- Introduce it into a routine one product at a time so any reaction can be traced to the right cause.

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.
