Choosing the Right Ampoule, Serum, or Essence for Your Skin
Many people confuse the difference between ampoules, serums and essences, but the biggest difference is the amount of concentration of ingredients in each product. Ampoules have the highest concentration of active ingredients followed by serums and essences. Since ampoules contain the highest concentration of these ingredients, they are generally the most expensive. They can also cause skin problems if used too frequently or inappropriately. If you feel that ampoules are too much, and the price point is intimidating to your wallet, then using a serum is another great choice! These three products are designed to help effective skin care by intensely absorbing the given ingredients, so you don't have to use all three products at once. However, choosing the right product for you, depending on your lifestyle and your skin is crucial.
1. If your skin is dry?
Hyaluronic Acid
When your skin lacks moisture, your skin’s elasticity can decrease easily, and wrinkles can develop prematurely. Hyaluronic acid gives the skin the extra boost it needs by retaining moisture inside cell tissues to keep the skin hydrated and healthy! Hyaluronic acid occurs naturally in the skin, but the function of pulling moisture inside the skin decreases with age - emphasizing the need for hyaluronic acid ampoules or serums. One hyaluronic acid molecule has the ability to hold water nearly 1,000 times its weight. If you're struggling with dead skin cells and dryness during the change of seasons, try using an ampoule or serum with hyaluronic acid. It will help your skin glow and look full of moisture.
2. If you want to reduce redness and even out skin tone?
Vitamin C
Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant. It works very well in neutralizing free radicals - unstable atoms - that can damage skin cells. Vitamin C helps fade hyperpigmentation from sun exposure and aging, and soothes inflammatory skin conditions like acne. To prevent wrinkle production and maintain skin tightness, Vitamin C also boosts collagen production. Vitamin C is definitely one of the best anti-aging products. If you want flawless, youthful skin, choosing a Vitamin C ampoule will help to improve your skin issues and keep you looking young!
* Insider Tip – Pure Vitamin C’s composition can be affected when it is exposed to the sun and the light. It is recommended to use it for the nighttime skincare routine.
3. If your skin is sensitive and always irritated?
Centella Asiatica (Cica)
I dare say cica is the best option to relieve irritated skin in a short period of time. Cica is effective in skin-soothing and healing inflammatory skin conditions. Due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak and requirements to wear masks, our skin is facing problems it never has before! Personally ,I use cica serum to calm my sensitive skin, applying it for daytime as well as nighttime. Are you suffering from lack of sleep and stress? Cica will help you restore your temporarily collapsed skin barriers and get your skin back to looking its best!
Since ampoules, serum, and essences are highly concentrated products, excessive use can cause skin trouble. To use: only one pump of product placed across your forehead, cheeks and chin, while applying it gently like a massage and spreading the product evenly. Let’s keep our skin healthy by using the right products!
