BAD SKIN Collagen Bomb Hydrating Ampoule

What is this product?

A 400 ml pump bottle of watery hydrating ampoule from a Korean brand, registered in Korea as a wrinkle improvement functional cosmetic. The 28 item Korean ingredient list opens with water, butylene glycol and glycerin, then prints hydrolyzed collagen with a disclosed 8,589 ppm beside it, which is 0.86 percent. Five hyaluronate family materials are spread through the list, six sprout extracts sit at positions eleven to sixteen under a patent number, and adenosine, the notified active behind the wrinkle claim, sits nineteenth with no amount disclosed. There is no fragrance entry, no alcohol, no essential oil and no oil or wax of any kind, so the formula adds water and has nothing to seal it with. The brand prints pH 5.34 without naming who measured it.

What makes it different?

It prints the amount of its hero peptide inside the legal ingredient panel itself, 8,589 ppm of hydrolyzed collagen at fourth position, so a reader can size the claim instead of guessing. The second separator is what the bottle does not contain: across all 28 entries there is no oil, wax, butter, silicone, alcohol or fragrance, which makes it a pure humectant solution sold in a 400 ml pump for whole face and body use rather than a treatment serum.

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.
