CONC LABO Triple C Rich Shot, 2.5ml

(1) Three types of vitamin C delivered via hollow micro-needle directly into the stratum corneum — deeper than standard topical application
(2) Triple-action formula targets pore visibility, surface dullness, and uneven skin texture simultaneously
(3) Euglena extract supports skin renewal and barrier conditioning alongside the vitamin C complex

Same format, different mission. Where the Hyalo Cica Rich Shot focuses on calming and moisture, the Triple C Rich Shot is built for brightening and pore refinement. The hollow micro-needle clicks directly into the skin's stratum corneum, depositing a concentrated blend of three functionally distinct vitamin C derivatives — one to clarify, one to refine texture, and one for stable, sustained antioxidant protection — at a depth that topical application alone cannot consistently achieve. The Euglena extract adds a skin-conditioning layer that keeps the formula from feeling purely corrective. For anyone whose skin has been stubbornly dull, or whose pores have remained visibly enlarged despite serums and treatments, the delivery mechanism here is the meaningful difference. A brand-new addition to the CONC LABO lineup as of early 2025, developed by Euglena Co., Ltd. as part of Japan's growing functional skincare device-meets-formula category.

(1) 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid (Clear Skin Vitamin C): highly stable, rapidly brightening vitamin C derivative for a clearer, more even tone
(2) Myristyl 3-Glyceryl Ascorbate (Texture Vitamin C): refines skin texture and minimizes the look of dry, enlarged pores
(3) 3-Glyceryl Ascorbic Acid (Stable Sustained Vitamin C): slow-release antioxidant protection that continues working throughout wear
(4) Euglena Extract: Euglena Co., Ltd.'s proprietary microalgae-derived active that supports cellular renewal and skin conditioning
(5) Supporting moisturizing base: keeps the stratum corneum hydrated around the vitamin C delivery for comfortable, non-irritating use

Use on completely clean, bare skin before any other skincare step — no SPF, toner, or moisturizer should be applied beforehand. If the needle tip appears dry, knock the base 2 to 3 times into the palm to prime the tip with serum. Press the needle tip firmly against areas of concern — cheeks, pore-prone zones, dull areas — and click the base once or twice. Hold for 3 seconds while the formula absorbs into the stratum corneum. After covering the target areas, gently press any remaining serum into the skin with fingertips. Continue with your regular serum, moisturizer, and SPF. Use daily for consistent results. Avoid using on eyelids, lips, active breakouts, or anywhere without adequate underlying tissue.

Q: Why does the CONC LABO Triple C Rich Shot use three different vitamin C derivatives rather than one?
A: Each derivative has a distinct function and absorption behavior. 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid brightens quickly and stably. Myristyl 3-Glyceryl Ascorbate targets texture and pore refinement. 3-Glyceryl Ascorbic Acid provides sustained antioxidant protection. Using all three covers the full range of vitamin C benefits within a single shot rather than relying on one compound to do everything.
Q: Is the CONC LABO Triple C Rich Shot different from the Hyalo Cica Rich Shot other than the formula?
A: The delivery mechanism is identical — both use the same hollow micro-needle knock-type format, the same 2.5ml volume, and the same approximately 450-shot yield. The difference is entirely in the active formula: the Triple C targets brightening, pores, and texture; the Hyalo Cica targets hydration, barrier calming, and firmness.
Q: Can I use the CONC LABO Triple C Rich Shot in the morning under SPF?
A: No. Like all Rich Shot products, it must be applied to completely clean, bare skin with no SPF, makeup, or other skincare layers that could obstruct the needle. Apply it as the first step after cleansing, then follow with your regular routine including SPF.
Q: How quickly does vitamin C oxidize in this formula — does freshness matter?
A: The three derivatives used here are specifically chosen for oxidation stability, which means they do not degrade as quickly as pure ascorbic acid. The sealed, single-dose knock mechanism also protects the formula from repeated air and light exposure, helping maintain potency throughout the bottle's use period.
Q: Does the CONC LABO Triple C Rich Shot help with post-blemish marks and uneven tone?
A: Vitamin C derivatives are well-established for helping fade post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation over time. Consistent daily use over four to eight weeks is generally when visible tone-evening effects become noticeable, particularly when combined with daily SPF use.
