For those of you who are not familiar with what ampoules are, do allow me to do some clarifications here. 

Ampoule is a bottle of concentrated essence or serum. It does not contain manmade preservatives but only natural preservatives, Phenoxyethanol. It is packed in a sterile vacuum package so its quality and safety is definitely secured. Ampoules are generally more concentrated than essence hence it can be absorbed by your skin quicker, leaving better effects.

When using ampoule, you do not need to add on other toner or moisturiser for it to absorb. Because of its tiny partitions, 90-98% of its content can be absorbed by one’s skin. Its effect is almost 12 to 13 times better than any night creams or gels could achieve!

They are generally used by make up artists for brides as well as in saloons for facials. Ampoules are designed according to the speed of the growth of our skin cells, hence protecting your skin and also make it easier for your other daily care product to be absorbed into your skin.

How to use Ampoules?

Day: Cleanse -> Toner -> Ampoule -> Sun block -> Make up

Night: Cleanse -> Toner -> Ampoule -> Any facial products

Weekly: Cleanse -> Toner -> Ampoule –> Facial masks.

Applying a facial mask sheet or mask powder right after applying Ampoules will increase both effects for at least 50% or more!

A same type of ampoule ought to be used for at least 12-15 days to achieve the best results. Of course, we cannot expect a long lasting effects just right after one or two application, right? All ampoules can be used daily except for the Collagen Ampoule which only needs to be used 1-2 a week.

One bottle of ampoule can be used for around 3-5 days depending on the amount you used etc. If there is an excessive amount of ampoules left, make sure you keep it in the refrigerator and cap it up into a bottle to prevent its essence from evaporating. Do try to finish the ampoule within 3 days because its ingredients are naturally made.



Methods of using:

1. Break the place near the cap of the ampoule (within the white line area). Do make sure that you do not open it with bare hands but layer it with tissues because the bottle itself is made of glass.

2. If you are preparing to use it again, please pour it into another bottle to keep it first. (preferably in the refrigerator)

3. Pour the ampoule onto your palm; do not pour out too much at a time to prevent wastage. Then apply it bit by bit onto your face.

4. Lastly, massage the ampoule into your skin in circles to make sure that your face absorb its essence completely.

What are the differences between Germany and France ampoules?

1. Ampoules made in Germany are 3.8ml per bottle whereas France ampoules that we take in contain 3ml only.
However 0.8ml wouldn’t make much difference, would it?

2. Rumours are that ampoules made in Germany do not contain preservatives, are they true?
Certainly not. Both ampoules contain what is known as “Phenoxyethanol” that are actually natural preservatives used in many cosmetic products.

3. Germany ampoules contain an ingredient known as “Parabens” in which continuous application will lead to hazardous effect to the skin.
