SERUM/AMPOULE

Not all heroes wear capes and serums are one of them. Serums and ampoules contain active ingredients that treat specific skin concerns such as brightening, acne, pigmentation, wrinkles and so on - this is why it's important to pick the right serum for your skin type! The active ingredients penetrate deep into the skin due to their smaller molecular size. The difference between a serum and an ampoule? Think of an ampoule as a supercharged serum with more concentrated ingredients.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a serum?

A serum is a liquid skincare product that contains potent active ingredients and is formulated to target specific skin concerns, such as ageing, dullness, dehydration, and acne. They are generally lightweight in texture and are designed to be easily absorbed by the skin for maximum effectiveness.

What is an ampoule?

An ampoule is similar to a serum in that it is a liquid skincare product that contains active ingredients and targets various skin concerns, such as ageing, dullness, dehydration, and acne. Ampoules generally contain a greater concentration of active ingredients than serums, making them more potent.

When do I use a serum or ampoule?

You should use a serum or an ampoule morning and evening after cleansing, toning, and applying an essence, but before moisturising. If using both an ampoule and a serum, apply the more potent ampoule first and the serum second.

What does Vitamin C serum do?

Vitamin C serum improves skin health in various ways and is especially effective at tackling dark spots, dullness, and signs of ageing. It is rich in antioxidants that help to protect skin from free-radical damage, promotes collagen synthesis to increase skin elasticity and minimises the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It also helps to inhibit the formation of dark spots, encouraging a more even skin tone. Vitamin C is particularly effective in serum form because serums penetrate deep into the skin. 

Can I use an ampoule every day?

Yes, you can! However, because ampoules contain very potent concentrations of active ingredients, you may find that it is not necessary to use one every day, depending on your skin type and concerns.
