Skin 1004 Niacinamide 10 Boosting Shot Ampoule

Featuring sea sponge-derived Hydrolyzed Sponge micro-spicules averaging 13μm in size, the Skin 1004 Niacinamide 10 Boosting Shot Ampoule creates temporary micro-channels through the stratum corneum during massage to boost topical active delivery. A 2025 clinical study by the Korea Dermatology Research Institute on 20 adult women demonstrated 132.8% higher ingredient absorption compared to a spicule-free control formula. This gel-textured formula pairs spicule technology with three targeted brightening actives to address dark spots, post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH), uneven tone, enlarged pores, and excess sebum.

• Hydrolyzed Sponge silica micro-spicules create temporary micro-scale channels through the outermost skin layer to significantly enhance product absorption
• High-potency 10% niacinamide inhibits melanosome transfer to reduce dark spots, minimizes pore appearance, decreases sebum, and supports ceramide synthesis
• Tranexamic acid (TXA) inhibits the plasminogen-to-plasmin pathway to address UV-induced melanin production and target post-acne marks
• Ascorbyl glucoside offers a water-stable vitamin C derivative that converts to active ascorbic acid via skin enzymes to further boost radiance
• Polyglutamic acid humectant holds four times more moisture than hyaluronic acid, forming a breathable hydration film across the skin surface
• Sodium DNA (PDRN) supports the adenosine A2A receptor repair pathway to provide targeted skin renewal signals

Madagascar-sourced Centella Asiatica extract and isolated madecassoside calm post-spicule sensitization, reduce inflammation, and support barrier recovery alongside panthenol and tocopheryl acetate (vitamin E). A mild tingling sensation is normal during massage as the spicules create micro-channels. When introducing spicule-based formulas to a routine, starting application two to three times per week allows skin to adapt before gradually increasing to daily use, followed by toner or moisturizer.
