[Innisfree] Retinol Cica Repair Ampoule 30ml
The Innisfree Retinol Cica Repair Ampoule delivers a potent, yet gentle, approach to surface texture, breakouts, and dullness. Featuring pure retinol at high purity (95%) delivered in a liposome-based system, it helps normalize the skin cycle, reduce roughness, and address dark blemishes without heavy irritation. The formula is reinforced with Jeju-cica liposome technology, centella, ceramide, and hyaluronic acid to support the skin barrier and hydration. Clinically tested for sensitivity, it’s designed for all skin types, including those prone to occasional breakouts, while aiming to minimize downtime during adaptation.

Description
Description
This ampoule is formulated to tackle multiple skin concerns in one step: smoother texture, clearer pores, and a more even tone. The pure retinol works to gently accelerate cell turnover, helping to shed dead skin and reduce bumps and blemishes that appear with sensitivity. The unique JEJU CICA LIPSOMLOGY formulation pairs retinol with centella, ceramide, and Jeju green soybean hyaluronic acid, creating a liposome-delivered delivery system that reduces irritation and supports hydration. Developed at Innisfree’s Green Innovation Lab, the product emphasizes safety for daily use, including a very low irritation profile and a comprehensive set of skin-safety tests. Aimed at guardians of sensitive skin who still want effective retinol benefits, this ampoule emphasizes gradual, consistent improvement without a long adaptation phase.
How to use
How to use
Use at the essence step as part of your daily routine. Dispense 1–2 pumps onto clean fingertips and gently apply over the face, avoiding the eye area. If you’re new to retinol, start with a smaller amount and gradually increase as your skin builds tolerance. Always follow with your moisturizer and, during daytime use, apply sunscreen to protect newly accelerated skin. If you experience irritation, consider pairing with a mild moisturizing cream and avoid combining with strong chemical peels or vitamin C products during the same routine.

Sunscreen & SPF Products in Canada
Unfortunately due to regulations by Health Canada we are unable to offer any Korean sunscreen or SPF products to Canadian customers.
We are working with Health Canada to obtain Federal approval for these items, but it's a lengthy process.
We apologize for the inconvenience and will let you know as soon as this changes!
Why does my product look different from the photos on your site?
Why does my product look different from the photos on your site?
Korean beauty brands update their formulas and packaging regularly - sometimes several times a year - and these changes often happen faster than we can update every listing. We do our best to keep product pages current, but what you receive may have a newer formulation or updated packaging. The core product and its function remain the same. If you'd like to verify what's currently in stock before ordering, reach out to us at info@kbeauti.ca and we'll confirm for you.
