Sungboon Editor Silk Peptide EGF Intensive Ampoule is a conditioning serum for skin that looks less supple and has more visible fine lines. It combines niacinamide, silk extract, collagen, hydrating ingredients and peptides including EGF. It helps hydrate and supports a smoother, fresher look. Not a lifting treatment.
Product detailed description
Peptide serum with EGF · Skin losing its feeling of elasticity
Your skin doesn't feel as springy as it used to, pillow creases take longer to fade in the morning, and fine lines around your eyes and mouth are more noticeable. Sungboon Editor Silk Peptide EGF Intensive Ampoule is a peptide serum for skin that is losing its feeling of firmness and elasticity: it combines peptides, silk extract, collagen, niacinamide and hyaluronic acid. In this ampoule, EGF and other peptides serve as additional conditioning ingredients. Compared with a single-peptide serum, it has a more complex formula.
It is dispensed with an applicator according to the brand's instructions, morning and evening after toner. At VIONE, we recommend it as one caring serum for more mature skin that doesn't add retinoids or exfoliating acids. Always follow with SPF protection in the morning.
- Type: peptide ampoule (serum), 40 ml, with applicator
- Suitable for: skin losing its feeling of elasticity, fine lines, more mature and dehydrated skin
- Key ingredients: peptides, silk extract, collagen, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, EGF (sh-Oligopeptide-1)
- Fragrance-free · Serum step, morning and evening, with SPF in the morning
Routine step
Sungboon Editor Silk Peptide EGF Intensive Ampoule is the Serum step: after toner, before moisturiser. Always finish with SPF in the morning.
Who the Sungboon Editor peptide serum with EGF is for
- Your skin is losing its feeling of elasticity and looks more tired than it used to, especially on the cheeks and lower face.
- You are noticing your first fine lines and want to care for your skin without retinoids.
- Your skin is more mature and also dehydrated, so it needs hydration too.
- You want one serum with several peptides instead of several separate products.
- You use SPF every morning, or want to start. Daily sun protection is the foundation of caring for mature skin.
When to choose something else: you want vegan skincare (the ampoule contains silk and collagen), you are allergic to soy or silk, you don't want shimmer and pigments in your skincare, or your skin is currently irritated or broken.
Texture, applicator and shimmer
- Light texture: retailers describe it as fast-absorbing and non-sticky.
- Shimmering particles: the formula contains gold (Gold), mica and other ingredients used to create a pearlescent effect. They may optically contribute to a more radiant-looking complexion. The exact appearance remains subject to verification against the supplied product.
- Applicator: you draw up the serum with the applicator according to the brand's instructions.
- Fragrance-free: the formula contains no perfume, essential oils or ethanol.
Tip: handle the applicator according to the brand's instructions, don't share it and don't let water get into the ampoule. Store it in a cool place away from direct sunlight.
Key ingredients: peptides, EGF, silk and collagen
- Peptides (Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Copper Tripeptide-1, Caffeoyl Hexapeptide-65): short chains of amino acids that are popular in skincare for skin with fine lines. We don't attribute a specific effect to them in this formula, and the brand does not disclose their amounts.
- EGF and other sh- ingredients: EGF (sh-Oligopeptide-1) is a peptide known as epidermal growth factor. Biotechnologically produced forms are used in cosmetics. According to the listed formula, the ampoule contains nine ingredients with the prefix sh-, including EGF. In this ampoule, EGF and other peptides serve as additional conditioning ingredients. Evidence for the effects of topically applied EGF on intact skin is not sufficient to support claims of lifting or skin-cell regeneration.
- Silk extract: a hydrating ingredient derived from silk that gives the ampoule its name.
- Collagen, hydrolysed collagen and hydrolysed elastin: conditioning ingredients that bind water on the skin's surface. Collagen applied to the skin does not, however, replenish collagen in the skin.
- Niacinamide and adenosine: conditioning ingredients commonly used in Korean skincare for more mature skin. Niacinamide may help support the skin barrier.
- Hydrating and conditioning extras: hyaluronic acid in six forms, betaine, panthenol, squalane, centella asiatica extract and heartleaf (Houttuynia cordata) extract.
How to use Sungboon Editor Silk Peptide EGF Intensive Ampoule
- 1. Cleanse: a gentle cleanser; in the evening, if you wear SPF or makeup, start with a cleansing oil.
- 2. Toner: dampen your skin with a hydrating toner.
- 3. Ampoule: draw up a small amount of serum with the applicator according to the brand's instructions and apply to clean facial skin, avoiding the eye area; you can also apply it to your neck. Pat in gently until absorbed.
- 4. Moisturiser: seal in the hydration with a cream; for mature and dry skin, a richer one works well.
- 5. SPF in the morning: as the last step. Sun exposure is one of the main external factors that accelerate skin ageing.
- Frequency: for morning and evening use. If your skin is sensitive, start once daily and adjust according to tolerance. Do not use the ampoule on broken or irritated skin.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions about Sungboon Editor Silk Peptide EGF Intensive Ampoule
What is EGF and where does it come from in skincare?
EGF (sh-Oligopeptide-1) is a peptide known as epidermal growth factor. Biotechnologically produced forms are used in cosmetics. Evidence for the effects of topically applied EGF on intact skin is not sufficient to support claims of lifting or skin-cell regeneration, and its large molecule has difficulty passing through intact skin. In this ampoule, EGF and other peptides therefore serve as additional conditioning ingredients, and we attribute the ampoule's care to the formula as a whole. Do not use the ampoule on broken or irritated skin.
What can I expect from the ampoule if my skin is losing elasticity?
The ampoule is a caring serum, not a lifting treatment or a substitute for an in-clinic procedure. Well-hydrated skin tends to feel springier and look fresher, helped by hyaluronic acid, silk extract, collagen and betaine. Peptides and growth factors are additional conditioning ingredients. Pearlescent and gold particles may optically contribute to a more radiant-looking complexion. Results depend on your skin's condition and individual response.
How soon will I see a difference?
Your skin may feel more hydrated after application, depending on its condition and individual response. Changes in the look of fine lines or in the feeling of elasticity cannot be guaranteed within a specific timeframe: they depend on your age and skin condition, your overall routine and, above all, regular SPF use. If the ampoule suits you, use it regularly.
Is the ampoule vegan? What should I watch out for if I have allergies?
It is not vegan: it contains silk extract, collagen and elastin. The formula also includes a soy-based ferment extract (Bacillus/Folic Acid/Soybean Ferment Extract). If you have a confirmed allergy to soy, silk or any other ingredient, do not use the product without prior advice from a qualified healthcare professional, and show them the ingredient list below.
How is it different from Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Botanical 2GF Ampoule?
Both ampoules contain growth factors. According to its listed formula, Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Botanical 2GF Ampoule contains two growth factors produced using rice (Rice sh-Oligopeptide-1 and Rice sh-Polypeptide-1) and, as its name suggests, is built on black rice extract and hyaluronic acid. Sungboon Editor combines more growth factors with other peptides, silk extract and collagen, and contains shimmering particles. If you want growth factors in a formula built on black rice, choose Haruharu. If you want more types of peptides, silk extract and collagen, choose Sungboon Editor.
How is it different from PDRN ampoules such as HEVEBLUE or Isntree?
This ampoule contains no PDRN. It is built on peptides, growth factors and silk extract and targets skin that is losing its feeling of elasticity. HEVEBLUE Salmon Caring Centella Ampoule is a soothing ampoule with salmon PDRN and centella for sensitive skin. Isntree Gim PDRN Hydro Bouncy Ampoule is a hydrating serum with eight forms of hyaluronic acid. Sungboon Editor PDRN Pink Vitamin Glow Boosting Ampoule from the same range targets dull skin lacking radiance. One of these serums is enough in your routine.
Who is the ampoule not for, and when should I choose another product?
Skip the ampoule if you want vegan skincare, are allergic to soy or silk, don't want shimmer and pigments in your skincare, or if your skin is currently irritated or broken. If you have a diagnosed skin condition or are undergoing dermatological treatment, consult your dermatologist before introducing a new skincare product. A cosmetic serum will not remove deeper wrinkles. If your skin mainly needs hydration, choose a simpler hydrating serum in the dry & dehydrated skin category.
Can I combine the ampoule with retinol, acids or vitamin C?
The ampoule itself contains no retinoids or exfoliating acids. Depending on tolerance, it may fit into a routine with active skincare. Introduce new products one at a time and follow the active product's instructions for order and frequency. Do not use the ampoule after microneedling, laser treatment, a chemical peel or on broken skin. If your skin starts burning, becomes significantly red or begins to peel, stop using newly introduced products and return to a simple, well-tolerated routine. Consult a dermatologist if symptoms persist.
Can I use the ampoule during pregnancy?
According to its ingredient list, the ampoule contains no retinoids. The brand gives no information on pregnancy, and no data are available on using growth factors on the skin during pregnancy. We recommend discussing the ampoule with your doctor during pregnancy and breastfeeding and showing them the ingredient list below.
What to pair the Sungboon Editor Silk Peptide EGF ampoule with
- ROUND LAB 1025 Dokdo Toner: a light, watery toner with sea water. It dampens the skin so the ampoule spreads more easily.
- Pyunkang Yul Black Tea Enriched Cream: a nourishing face cream that seals in hydration after the ampoule. Especially suited to more mature and dry skin.
- Haruharu Wonder Black Rice Pure Mineral Relief Daily Sunscreen SPF 50+: a fragrance-free mineral sunscreen with zinc as the last step in the morning. Daily SPF is essential when caring for mature skin.
Practical tip: caring for mature skin doesn't take ten steps. A cleanser, toner, one caring serum, moisturiser and SPF in the morning are enough. Add a retinoid or another active serum gradually and separately, once you know how your skin responds to the ampoule.
What the brand says
The brand describes the ampoule as a combination of EGF, a peptide complex, silk protein and collagen. According to retailers, it is an updated version of the Silk Peptide Intensive Lifting Ampoule. Do not confuse it with the Silk Peptide EGF Heart Fit Volume Lifting Ampoule, which is a different product in the range. The brand does not disclose the concentration of EGF or other growth factors. According to its ingredient list, the ampoule is free of fragrance and ethanol. Check the packaging for the period after opening. The stated claims are based on the manufacturer's declarations. Individual skin tolerance may vary.

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.
