MILDLAB DEEP MELACARE AMPOULE

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-24

What is this product?

A 50 ml brightening ampoule from the Korean brand MILDLAB, listed on its statutory notice as a brightening functional cosmetic. The label prints niacinamide at 30,000 ppm, tranexamic acid at 20,000 ppm and alpha-arbutin at 5,000 ppm, with sodium heparin, panthenol and centella compounds behind them. It is a water-based formula with no oil, fragrance or essential oil entry. There is no exfoliating acid. The brand's two-week test on 21 people reports modest pigmentation and tone gains, and patch tests report no irritation.

What makes it different?

Prints the amounts of all three brightening actives on the label rather than naming them only in copy, in a short 23-ingredient water-based list with no oil, fragrance or exfoliating acid. The brand warns that heavy use can leave a white residue.

What is in it?

The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.

This brand publishes its ingredient list in Korean only. Names below are the matching INCI names from the Korean Cosmetic Association ingredient dictionary, except 1 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.

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

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked 47 lines this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. 6 of them hold up. The rest are only partly right or have nothing behind them.

Claims translated from Korean, originals preserved.
