MISSHA Time Revolution Night Repair Ampoule 5X: Overnight Anti-Aging Ampoule

MISSHA's Time Revolution is the brand's flagship anti-aging line, and the Night Repair Ampoule is its hero overnight treatment. The "5X" in the name refers to the 5X strengthened formulation over previous versions. At $29.16 for 70ml, it's priced at the accessible premium tier, competing directly with luxury night ampoules at a quarter of the price. MISSHA positions this as a direct alternative to SK-II's Skin Power Advanced Airy Milky Lotion and similar high-end Japanese fermented products.

The formula uses fermented ingredients (galactomyces ferment filtrate is a typical Time Revolution hero ingredient), niacinamide, and peptides. The "Night Repair" positioning leans into the overnight skin renewal window, which is when skin does its primary repair work. Evening-targeted formulations can include ingredients (like higher-concentration retinoids or peptides) that would be too irritating for daytime wear.

What It Does

Fermented galactomyces ferment delivers amino acids, peptides, and fermentation-derived skin benefits. Niacinamide provides brightening and barrier support. Peptides signal collagen synthesis. Supporting anti-aging actives work during the overnight repair window. Used consistently over 8 to 12 weeks, users report smoother fine lines, more even skin tone, and firmer surface texture.
