An ampoule is an ultra-concentrated booster designed for short-term, intensive care. Often used as a skin “rescue” treatment or during times of stress or transition (like season changes), ampoules contain potent doses of active ingredients. Compared to serums, they are more powerful and used for a limited time rather than daily.

What’s the Difference between Serum, Ampoule and Essence?

Think of it like this:

• Essence is for hydration and prepping — light, foundational.

• Serum is your daily treatment — focused and effective.

• Ampoule is your intensive booster — powerful and occasional.

All three can work in harmony, layered from lightest to richest, for skin that looks and feels its best.
