Skincare ampoules are potent treatments designed to deliver targeted ingredients directly to the skin. Housed in environmentally-protective packaging with optimal concentrations of active ingredients, they can enhance any skincare regimen. The reassuring aspect of using ampoules is that the formulation remains as close to the manufactured condition as when first opened or used. Ampoules are typically housed in small vials, either for single use or multi-dose, ensuring ingredient freshness and efficacy.

Treatment tips that can help you incorporate Ampoules into your routine
- They generally allow for 1-3 uses per ampoule unit before the glass unit can be discarded (we always encourage recycling)
- Take extra care when opening an ampoule, following the manufacturer’s usage instructions carefully
- Always store in a cool, dry place that is out of reach of children and other products or items
- Apply ampoules to freshly cleansed and toned skin if you use a toner
- Use the recommended amount mentioned on the product packaging to avoid overuse and wastage
- Gently pat or press the ampoule onto your skin using clean fingertips
- Apply lighter textures before heavier ones
- Incorporate ampoules into your routine based on the suggested frequency
- Some ampoules might increase sun sensitivity so it’s important to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen during the day
