The best face ampoules

In recent times, ampoules have become one of our best allies in the world of beauty. These small single-shots contain a huge concentration of active ingredients for the skin.

Which ampoules are right for your face?

Ampoules are mostly for women who need them for skin disorders such as blotches, redness or couperose, after aesthetic treatment or sunburn, and are also used by women as a beauty product because they work well and give their faces a rejuvenated look.

In fact, the key to ampoules is that the effects can be seen almost immediately, which is why they are so popular among their followers.

Among the different ampoules available on the market today, we can find:

• Vitamin C ampoules: suitable for skin types that need a boost of luminosity. Vitamin C prevents the appearance of signs of ageing and fatigue, conferring luminosity and reducing wrinkles. It also stimulates synthesis of natural collagen.
• Proteoglycan ampoules: they repair dehydrated skin, improve collagen formation and enhance the joint effect they have with other nutritive oligoelements and antioxidants such as vitamin C.
• Hyaluronic acid ampoules: they have a hydro-retaining action, improving moisturisation of dry skin and avoiding the evaporation of water.
• Collagen ampoules: they confer firmness and increase the amount and density of collagen in the skin to avoid wrinkles from appearing and the loss of elasticity.
• Flash effect ampoules: they are recommended for skin types that need an immediate lifting effect. Their formula reduces wrinkles and returns firmness and luminosity to your face. They are ideal for special events as your make-up will stand out more and last longer.

Which one is best, serum or ampoules?

It is not a matter of one being better than the other, since they have completely different functions. Whereas ampoules are an intensive shock treatment for the skin, which are usually applied 3 to 4 times a year, nearly always coinciding with the season changes as they are an intensive shock treatment and will ensure that any subsequent maintenance treatment will work better. Moreover, since ampoules are single-use, the active ingredients do not oxidise as they do not come into contact with the atmosphere.

Serum on the other hand, is a maintenance treatment, rich in active ingredients and can be used in conjunction with moisturising creams and oils. Serum is mostly in the form of an emulsion, fluid or gel, meaning it is easily absorbed and does not have an oily texture.

How to apply a collagen ampoule?

 

After cleaning your face as usual, and when your skin is dry, pour the contents of the ampoule into your hands and rub it with your fingertips to warm it up. Then apply it to your face, neck and neckline by gently massaging it in until it is fully absorbed. You can then continue with your usual routine: serum and moisturising cream.

 

If it is a “flash effect” ampoule, you should leave it until the end of your routine to leave your skin ready to apply makeup to make it more luminous.
