An ampoule is a highly concentrated skincare product that delivers a powerful dose of active ingredients to the skin. It is typically used as a booster treatment to address specific skin concerns, such as hydration, brightening, anti-aging, or soothing inflammation.
Key Features of an Ampoule:
High Potency: Contains a higher concentration of active ingredients compared to serums.
Targeted Treatment: Formulated to address specific issues like fine lines, dullness, acne, or hyperpigmentation.
Lightweight & Fast-Absorbing: The thin of an ampoule consistency allows for better absorption into the skin, enhancing the effectiveness of other skincare steps.
Versatile Use: Can be used as a short-term treatment to target specific skin concerns, combined with oxygen infusion, or applied weekly as part of a regular skincare routine for maintenance and prevention.
How to Use an Ampoule:
After Cleansing and Toning: Apply a few drops of the ampoule to your face.
Pat Gently: Use your fingertips to gently pat it into the skin until fully absorbed.
Follow with Moisturizer: Seal in the benefits with a hydrating moisturizer.
Ampoules are often used in professional facials and can provide immediate and long-term results, enhancing the overall effectiveness of your skincare regimen.
