Make P:rem NMN Firming Expert Ampoule

What is this product?

Make P:rem's NMN Firming Expert Ampoule is the rare product whose headline number is genuinely large: NMN is printed tenth of 54 ingredients at 10,000 ppm, which is a full 1 percent, not a trace. It backs that with a second nucleotide, NAD, plus niacinamide seventh and five peptides closing the list. What is missing is evidence rather than actives, because Make P:rem's own site could not be read and no test, no pH and no review record for this product was found anywhere in the material examined. Nothing in the 54 is a fragrance, a declared allergen, a drying alcohol or an exfoliating acid, which makes it an unusually low-irritation way to run a firming step.

What makes it different?

Two things stand out against the category. The first is disclosure at a level that matters: 10,000 ppm of nicotinamide mononucleotide is a real 1 percent, and most products naming a fashionable nucleotide print no number at all or print one in the single-digit ppm range. The second is what the formula leaves out. There is no acid, no retinoid, no fragrance and no essential oil in the 54 entries, and only three fatty alcohols where a firming ampoule often carries a stinging active, so the firming story rests on nucleotides and peptides rather than on irritation. The weakness is symmetrical: no clinical evidence for this product was recoverable at all, so the 1 percent NMN is a formulation fact with no outcome data behind it, and the same is true of the five peptides.

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked 4 lines this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. None of them hold up on their own. They are partly right at best.

Claims translated from Korean, originals preserved.

Each line is quoted as the brand published it, and each one was read on its own against the ingredient list and the documents the brand publishes.
