Sungboon Editor
Sungboon Editor: Korean skincare built around specific ingredients
Sungboon Editor is a Korean brand of face ampoules. Its name comes from the Korean word “sungboon” (성분), meaning ingredients. The concept follows the name: each ampoule is built on one or two key ingredients and aims at one specific goal. One of the brand’s notable products is the Green Tomato Pore Lifting Ampoule+.
Not sure which ampoule to choose? Start with what bothers you most about your skin. With Sungboon Editor, the answer is right in the product name.
Why we chose Sungboon Editor
We picked four ampoules, each with a clear role in a routine. That way you do not have to build a many-step routine: one ampoule between toner and moisturiser is enough, depending on what you are working on.
Which Sungboon Editor ampoule to choose
- Enlarged pores, oily and combination skin: Green Tomato Pore Lifting Ampoule+ with niacinamide, a gentle PHA and tomato extract. Contains alcohol and fragrance.
- Dull skin, uneven tone and darker spots: Kojic Acid Niacinamide Brightening Ampoule with niacinamide, kojic acid and PHA. Patch test first and always use SPF in the morning.
- Skin lacking radiance that needs hydration: PDRN Pink Vitamin Glow Boosting Ampoule with niacinamide, panthenol, vitamin B12 and hyaluronic acid, with PDRN as a supporting ingredient. No added fragrance.
- Skin that looks less supple, with fine lines: Silk Peptide EGF Intensive Ampoule with niacinamide, silk extract, collagen and peptides including EGF.
The Kojic Acid and Green Tomato ampoules contain a PHA. Do not use them in the same evening routine with each other or with retinal, for example Arencia Retinal Booster Shot. Alternate them on different evenings.
Sungboon Editor: frequently asked questions
Is Sungboon Editor a Korean brand?
Yes. Sungboon Editor is a Korean brand whose name comes from the Korean word for ingredients (성분, sungboon). It focuses on ampoules that target a specific skin concern.
Which Sungboon Editor ampoule should I start with?
Choose by your main concern: Green Tomato for enlarged pores, Kojic Acid Niacinamide for dull, uneven tone, PDRN Pink Vitamin Glow for skin lacking radiance, and Silk Peptide EGF for skin losing its bounce. We recommend starting with one ampoule.
Can I combine two Sungboon Editor ampoules?
Yes, but using two ampoules at once is not necessary. We recommend starting with one based on your main skin concern. Green Tomato and Kojic Acid contain exfoliating PHA, so it is sensible to avoid layering them in the same routine, especially if your skin is sensitive. Avoid introducing other strong actives at the same time and adjust frequency to your skin’s tolerance.
Is kojic acid allowed in cosmetics?
Yes. EU Regulation 2024/996 restricts kojic acid used as a skin-lightening ingredient to a maximum of 1% in face and hand products. This regulatory limit does not, by itself, confirm the concentration in the Sungboon Editor ampoule. When using an ampoule with kojic acid, protect your skin with SPF in the morning.
