Take the skin testThe Dr.Ceuracle Pure VC Mellight Ampoule Set is your key to radiant and rejuvenated skin. This premium kit contains four ampoules of pure Vitamin C, enriched with Glutathione, Tranexamic Acid, Idebenone, and Vitamin E, creating a powerful 4-week treatment program. This dynamic combination visibly brightens the skin, fades hyperpigmentation spots, stimulates collagen synthesis, and firms the skin for a youthful and luminous complexion.
Pure VC Mellight Ampoule Set is a lightweight ampoule from Dr. Ceuracle, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around hydration and soothing. The ingredient list runs to 36 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. Hydration is handled by Propanediol, Methylpropanediol and Sodium PCA, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Propanediol, Methylpropanediol, Sodium PCA and Panthenol.
Soothing: High. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Panthenol, Allantoin, Chamomilla Recutita Flower Oil and Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract.
Antioxidant support: Moderate. Ingredients that mop up free radicals from UV and pollution, and here that comes from Ascorbic Acid, Hydroxydecyl Ubiquinone, Tocopherol and Glutathione.
Brightening: Moderate. Ingredients that act on uneven tone and post-inflammatory marks, and here that comes from Ascorbic Acid, Tranexamic Acid, Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract and Tocopherol.
On richness alone it suits Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on oil control, cell renewal and firmness signalling. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is fragrance-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free, microplastic-free and sulfate-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain essential oils, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after toner, before moisturiser. Apply to clean, dry skin and give it a minute to absorb before the next layer. Introduce one new treatment at a time so you can identify what is working.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
