MASTINA Mastic Ampoule Facial Serum, 63% White Mastic Complex 0.5 fl oz — Tranexamic Acid 2% & Niacinamide 5% for Radiant Tone

This lightweight ampoule blends natural mastic gum and fermented mastic with targeted actives — tranexamic acid 2% and niacinamide 5% — in a 0.5 fl oz dropper bottle designed for precise application and fast absorption. The formula emphasizes a high proportion of mastica-derived ingredients to deliver the characteristic resin benefits in a cosmetic format, while fermentation and a dropper delivery improve skin compatibility and ease of use. The product is developed by MASTINA with a focus on gentle, ingredient-led Korean skincare.

How does the Mastic Ampoule fit into my skincare routine?

Use the ampoule after cleansing and any water-based treatments (toner/essence) and before heavier moisturizers or oils. A few drops are enough; pat gently to aid absorption and follow with sunscreen in the morning. For evening use, apply as the main treatment step to let active ingredients work overnight.

• Application: 2–4 drops per use with the glass dropper.
• Layering: apply on damp skin after toner for better penetration.
• Frequency: once or twice daily depending on tolerance and needs.

What key ingredients are in the serum and what do they do?

The formula centers on a White Mastic Complex at 630,000 ppm, supported by fermented mastic for improved skin uptake, tranexamic acid at 2% for targeted tone support, and niacinamide at 5% to help refine texture and add barrier-friendly benefits. These components are combined to address uneven tone and promote a luminous-looking complexion without heavy oils.

• White Mastic Complex (63%): high-concentration mastic extract blend.
• Fermented Mastic: enhanced absorption and skin-friendly delivery.
• Tranexamic Acid 2%: targeted ingredient commonly used to support reduction of dark spots.
• Niacinamide 5%: evens texture and supports barrier resilience.

Is the ampoule suitable for sensitive or acne-prone skin?

The formulation prioritizes natural mastic extracts and uses fermentation to improve compatibility, but active ingredients like tranexamic acid and niacinamide can still affect sensitive skin. Start with a patch test and introduce gradually; if irritation occurs, reduce frequency or consult a dermatologist. The lightweight base and dropper dosing make it easy to control application amounts.

• Patch-test recommended before full-face use.
• Begin with every-other-night use for reactive skin types.
• Stop use if persistent redness or discomfort appears.

How long until I see results and how long does protection last?

Individual timelines vary, but ingredient-driven improvements in tone and radiance are generally noticed after several weeks of consistent use. MASTINA indicates the mastic component offers prolonged surface benefits; for best results, incorporate the ampoule into a regular regimen and protect skin with SPF during the day.

• Visible effects: often noticed within weeks with regular use.
• Longevity: designed to provide lasting surface protection up to claimed durations when applied as directed.
• Maintenance: continued twice-daily or nightly use sustains benefits.

Who is this for: MASTINA Mastic Ampoule is aimed at people seeking a concentrated, natural-ingredient forward treatment for uneven tone and dullness who prefer lightweight serums. It suits those curious about botanical resin extracts and fermented actives, users already comfortable with targeted ingredients like tranexamic acid and niacinamide, and anyone who wants a precise dropper application for layering under creams or oils.
