Ingredient breakdown
INGREDIENTSSea Buckthorn Water (Hippophae Rhamnoides) 78%Proven
The star base ingredient replacing purified water. Sea buckthorn is one of nature's richest sources of Vitamin C, packed with carotenoids, flavonoids, and omega fatty acids that provide powerful antioxidant protection and nourishment.
- Rich in: Vitamins A, C, E, beta-carotene, lycopene, and beta-sitosterol
- Benefit: Promotes skin healing, boosts elasticity, and revitalizes dull, tired skin
- Hydration: Provides deep nourishment and moisture from plant-derived nutrients
Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) 5%Proven
A multi-functional skincare superstar at a clinically effective 4-5% concentration. Addresses multiple skin concerns simultaneously — from brightening and anti-aging to barrier repair and pore minimization.
- Brightening: Inhibits melanin transfer to fade dark spots and even skin tone
- Barrier: Increases ceramide synthesis for a stronger, healthier skin barrier
- Anti-aging: Proven to reduce fine lines and wrinkles at 4-5% concentration
- Pores: Regulates sebum production and visibly minimizes enlarged pores
3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C Derivative) TracePromising
One of the most stable and promising Vitamin C derivatives available. Soluble in both water and oil, it penetrates skin effectively and converts to pure Vitamin C within the skin's deeper layers.
- Stability: Far more stable than pure L-Ascorbic Acid — won't oxidize quickly
- Brightening: Interferes with melanin production to reduce hyperpigmentation
- Collagen: Stimulates collagen synthesis for firmer, more youthful skin
Tranexamic Acid N/AProven
A powerhouse brightening ingredient originally used in medicine, now widely used in dermatology. Targets stubborn hyperpigmentation and melasma through a different pathway than Vitamin C or Niacinamide.
- Melasma: Proven to reduce melasma severity when applied topically
- Synergy: Works through a different mechanism, boosting the overall brightening effect when combined with Niacinamide
Panthenol (Vitamin B5) ~2-3%Proven
A well-studied humectant and skin-soothing ingredient. Strengthens the skin barrier, improves hydration, and reduces inflammation caused by other active ingredients.
- Hydration: Acts as a humectant to attract and retain moisture in the skin
- Barrier: Promotes production of skin lipids essential for a healthy barrier
- Soothing: Reduces irritation and has anti-inflammatory properties
Adenosine FunctionalProven
A KFDA-approved anti-wrinkle functional ingredient. Stimulates collagen production and accelerates cell turnover to visibly smooth fine lines and improve skin elasticity.

How to use
HOW TO USECleanse & Tone
Start with a clean face. Apply your toner and let it absorb while your skin is still slightly damp for better penetration.
Dispense 2–3 Drops
Use the dropper to apply 2–3 drops of the ampoule onto your palm or directly onto the face. A little goes a long way with this concentrated formula.
Pat & Press Gently
Gently pat and press the ampoule into your skin with your fingertips. Focus on areas with dark spots, hyperpigmentation, or dullness. Avoid rubbing.
Layer & Protect
Follow with your serum and moisturizer. In the morning, always finish with a broad-spectrum SPF 30+ sunscreen to protect the brightening actives.

- You have sensitive skin and need a fragrance-free, alcohol-free option
- You want a clean, vegan, cruelty-free brightening serum

- You're looking for heavy-duty anti-aging with retinol
- You prefer a completely oil-free formulation
Skin type compatibility
SKIN TYPESLightweight gel texture absorbs quickly without adding shine. Niacinamide helps regulate sebum production and minimize pores.
Hydrating humectants (Hyaluronic Acid, Betaine, Panthenol) provide moisture, but pair with a richer moisturizer for best results.
Balances well across different face zones. Lightweight enough for oily areas yet nourishing enough for dry patches.
Fragrance-free, alcohol-free, and clinically tested for irritation. Contains soothing Allantoin, Bisabolol, and Beta-Glucan. Ideal for sensitive skin.
Low comedogenic rating and non-greasy. Niacinamide helps with acne marks. However, not suitable for fungal acne due to oil content.

Budget-friendly alternatives (dupes)
DUPES
Higher niacinamide concentration (10% vs 5%) but lacks the multi-vitamin complex, Tranexamic Acid, and Sea Buckthorn Water base. More basic formula that may irritate sensitive skin.
Much higher Vitamin C potency (23% L-Ascorbic Acid) for aggressive brightening, but lacks Niacinamide, Tranexamic Acid, and the gentle multi-vitamin approach. More irritating for sensitive skin.
Uses 70% green tangerine extract for natural Vitamin C delivery with Niacinamide and Arbutin. Similar brightening approach but contains fragrance from essential oils, unlike fragrance-free beplain.

Frequently asked questions
FAQYes. The beplain Multi Vitamin Ampoule does not contain retinoids, salicylic acid (BHA), hydroquinone, or chemical sunscreens — the main ingredients to avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding. All actives (Niacinamide, Vitamin C derivatives, Tranexamic Acid, Adenosine) are generally considered safe for use during pregnancy. However, always consult your OB-GYN or dermatologist before introducing new skincare products during pregnancy.
No. This ampoule is NOT fungal acne safe. It contains Hippophae Rhamnoides Oil (sea buckthorn oil), Persea Gratissima (Avocado) Oil, Polyglyceryl-10 Stearate, and Polyglyceryl-10 Oleate. These are fatty acids and esters that can potentially feed malassezia yeast and worsen fungal acne. If you have active fungal acne, consider the beplain Cicaterol Ampoule or SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule instead, which are fungal acne safe.
Yes, with some precautions. Niacinamide pairs well with most actives. You can use this ampoule in the AM and retinol in the PM. It can be layered with other Vitamin C products since its Vitamin C concentration is low. With AHA/BHA, apply them first, wait for absorption, then apply this ampoule. If you're new to combining actives, introduce them gradually and monitor for irritation.
This ampoule is best suited for combination, oily, and sensitive skin types. Its lightweight gel texture absorbs quickly without greasiness, and the gentle 5% Niacinamide concentration makes it ideal for sensitive skin or niacinamide beginners. Dry skin types will benefit from the hydrating ingredients but should pair it with a heavier moisturizer. It's excellent for anyone dealing with dull skin, uneven tone, or dark spots.
Most users report immediate hydration and a subtle glow within the first week. Visible brightening and more even skin tone typically become noticeable within 2–4 weeks of consistent use. Fading of dark spots and hyperpigmentation takes longer — expect 2–3 months of daily use for significant results. Consistent use with proper sun protection delivers the best outcome.
Apply after cleansing and toning, before heavier serums and moisturizer. In a full routine: Cleanser → Toner → beplain Multi Vitamin Ampoule → Serum → Moisturizer → Sunscreen (AM). The brand recommends nighttime use for best results, but it can be used both morning and evening.
The overall comedogenic rating is very low (1 out of 5). While the formula does contain trace amounts of Hippophae Rhamnoides Oil (100ppm) and Avocado Oil, these are in such small concentrations that they are unlikely to clog pores for most people. Niacinamide actually helps regulate sebum and minimize pores. However, if your skin is extremely clog-prone, patch test first.
The product has a Period After Opening (PAO) of 12 months. However, because it contains Vitamin C and Vitamin C derivatives, it is best used within 6–8 months after opening for optimal efficacy. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Refrigerating the ampoule can help preserve stability. If the product turns dark orange or brown, it has oxidized and should be discarded.
Verdict: The beplain Multi Vitamin Ampoule is an exceptional gentle brightening serum that stands out for its thoughtfully crafted multi-vitamin formula. The 78% Sea Buckthorn Water base, combined with 5% Niacinamide, Tranexamic Acid, Arbutin, and 6 types of vitamins, delivers visible brightening without the harshness of high-concentration Vitamin C serums. It's a perfect choice for sensitive skin users, niacinamide beginners, and anyone seeking a clean, vegan, fragrance-free approach to tackling dullness and hyperpigmentation. The only drawbacks are the small 30ml size and its unsuitability for fungal acne-prone skin. Overall, outstanding value for a premium K-beauty brightening ampoule.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.

Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.

Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
