Amp Up Your Beauty Regime

If you’re in the market for a quick way to supercharge your skin, ampoules may be the solution.

For a while the beauty world was buzzing about the benefits of serums and essences, which seemed to deliver their promise of more nourished, glowing skin. But beauty regimes are ever evolving and those once devoted to these ‘miracle’ elixirs, are now being lured by the new kid on the block – the ampoule.

Don’t be fooled by their size – ampoules pack a powerful punch. Whether it’s fine lines, pigmentation, a dull complexion or acne scarring, these individual treatments, packaged in glass or plastic vials, are designed to target and treat problem areas in just one application. Boasting high concentrations of ingredients, ampoules are the perfect solution for anyone looking for an instant skin pick-me-up and get to work quickly to brighten, firm and nourish skin in a flash.

SMALLER DOSES, BIGGER RESULTS

But what makes them any more special than a serum or essence? Quite simply, the science. Ampoules take a less-is-more approach, using fewer ingredients but in higher doses. The higher the dose, the more effective the results. Vitamin C, for instance, when delivered in potent concentrations helps to boost collagen, diminish the damage done to skin by free radicals and reduce the signs of ageing.
