SERUM AND AMPOUL - WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE

In the world of K-beauty, there is an overwhelming array of products that promise radiant and healthy skin - oil cleansers, water-based cleansers, toners, serums, ampoules, sheet masks, moisturizers - the list goes on. But among this diversity, it can be challenging to differentiate between different products and understand their specific purposes, benefits and uses. One of the areas where confusion often arises is when it comes to ampoules, or ampoules, and serums.

Ampoules and serums are two products that are often confused, and it is not without reason. Both are formulated to give the skin a powerful dose of active ingredients, and both promise to solve a range of skin concerns. But while they share some similarities, there are important differences between them that are worth knowing.

AMPOULE VS. SERUM: THE BIG DIFFERENCES

While serums and ampoules share some similarities, there are key differences between the two in terms of formula, strength, usage, and packaging.

Ampoules, with their small, concentrated bottles, are known for their high concentration of active ingredients. These powerhouses are designed to provide intensive treatment against specific skin concerns, such as dryness, pigmentation or fine lines and wrinkles.

On the other hand, we have serums, light and quickly absorbing liquids that also contain active ingredients, but in a lower concentration compared to ampoules. These are more suitable for daily use as part of your regular skin care routine.

STRENGTH / CONCENTRATION

Due to the high concentration of active ingredients, skin ampoules are considered significantly more potent than serums. Their formulation is specially developed to deliver a powerful boost to your daily skincare routine and offer visible results in less time. Ampoules act as an intensive treatment, targeting specific skin problems, and promise to provide dramatic improvement in the short term.

USE:

Ampoules are usually used as a short-term treatment or for periodic use, depending on the specific needs of the skin. They can be used daily or weekly, depending on the products' instructions and the condition of the individual skin. Some ampoules are designed to be used for a specific period of time, such as a 7-day or 14-day treatment period, to achieve maximum results and then matched with another type of ampoule or skin care regimen. Ampoules can be used instead of serums or in combination with them - depending on the composition of the products and what your skin needs. They are applied after cleansing, toning and possibly essence, but before moisturizer and sunscreen. Skin care products are always applied in order from lightest/thinnest to thickest.

On the other hand, serums are meant to be used daily as an integral part of a daily skin care routine. They are usually applied after cleansing and toning, but before the moisturizer. Serums can be used alone or in combination with other skin care products, such as ampoules or creams, to create a tailored skin care routine that suits individual skin needs. By including serums in your daily routine, you can benefit from their continuous action and support to improve skin condition over time and thus achieve healthier, more radiant skin.

Understanding these differences can help you choose the right product that best suits your individual skin needs and preferences.
