Product details

A dropper bottle of APLB Glutathione Niacinamide Ampoule Serum on a white table against a mint wall, beside centella leaves in a glass dish

Hydrate + brighten

Glutathione, niacinamide and centella in a water-light ampoule that hydrates deeply, soothes and brightens a dull tone.

APLB builds this ampoule on centella asiatica extract, second only to water, and adds niacinamide at 20,000 ppm with glutathione at 1,000 ppm. Its Lipo Gluta Niac Cen complex replenishes skin with deep hydration, works on the look of fine lines and elasticity, and soothes irritated skin.

What’s inside

The ingredients doing the work

  • Glutathione + niacinamide

    The brightening pair in the name. APLB processes the glutathione into fine particles to help it absorb, and spreads the niacinamide with its Wide-Spread Texture System for better adhesion.

    No. 5, 11 of 46 on the list

  • Centella 3x complex

    Centella extract plus three of its active compounds, to soothe and moisturize sensitive skin stressed by its environment.

    No. 2, 26, 27, 28 of 46 on the list

  • Moisture + bounce

    Panthenol and hyaluronic acid keep skin hydrated, beta-glucan moisturizes and protects, collagen and adenosine support elastic-looking skin, and squalane helps with pore care.

    No. 8, 9, 20, 21, 22, 25 of 46 on the list

  • Lotus, artemisia, rice + ferment

    APLB’s patented blend, which helps form a moisture barrier that protects skin and nourishes it.

    No. 14, 15, 16, 17 of 46 on the list
