What is ampoule for skin?

An ampoule is a small, sealed vial containing a concentrated serum or treatment for the skin. These products are designed to deliver high concentrations of active ingredients to the skin in a single-use, airtight package. Ampoules are typically used as a targeted treatment for specific skin concerns, such as dehydration, dullness, aging, or hyperpigmentation.

Ampoules are often more potent than traditional serums or moisturizers, as they are formulated with a higher concentration of active ingredients. They are also free of preservatives, fragrances, and other potentially irritating ingredients, making them suitable for sensitive skin types.

Ampoules are usually meant to be used as a short-term treatment, with results typically visible within a few days to a week of consistent use. They can be incorporated into a skincare routine as a "booster" or used as a standalone treatment for more intensive results.

Some common active ingredients found in ampoules for the skin include hyaluronic acid, vitamin C, retinol, peptides, and botanical extracts. It is important to choose an ampoule that targets your specific skincare concerns and to patch test new products before incorporating them into your routine.
