Instead of layering on serums and creams, keep your daily routine simple by following what Korean women are doing now: reaping the benefits of highly potent, multitasking ampoule treatments.
Instead of layering on serums and creams, keep your daily routine simple by following what Korean women are doing now: reaping the benefits of highly potent, multitasking ampoule treatments.
If you’ve ever confused an ampoule treatment for a serum, you’re not alone. At a glance, both are similar in appearance and packaging, but that’s where the similarities end.
Unlike serums, which tend to have a thick, liquid-like consistency, ampoule treatments are usually clear and almost watery, and meant to be more quickly absorbed than serums.
They are also said to have a higher concentration of actives encapsulated in smaller molecules, so they can penetrate skin more deeply. The molecules in the ampoules are so tiny, you can even apply the treatment over your makeup to perk up radiance after a long day.
One of the leaders in ampoule skincare is CNP Laboratory – said to be South Korea’s top cosmeceutical brand. The brainchild of 50 dermatologists from CNP Aesthetic Clinic, the brand follows stringent development and testing protocols for maximum efficacy and skin safety.
Its top three supercharged ampoule treatments – Propolis Energy Ampule, Mugener Ampule and Vita-Solution Whitening Ampule – have Korean women wondering why they didn’t think to start using them a lot sooner!
Addresses deep hydration & the appearance of ageing
While the Propolis Energy Ampule and Mugener Ampule treatments both target hydration and sensitivity, Propolis Energy Ampule is better suited for very dry skin with ageing concerns, like loss of elasticity.
Containing extracts of propolis, a resinous material honeybees use to seal their hives against contaminants, the treatment boasts powerful antimicrobial and antioxidant properties to reportedly strengthen skin’s natural defences and boost moisture levels.
It’s also suitable for people living in cold, dry climates and those who struggle with tired-looking eyes.
Soothes hypersensitivity & improves clarity
'The Mugener Ampule treatment addresses hypersensitive skin that’s prone to redness and irritation with soothing allantoin. It also contains glycosaminoglycans that attract and retain moisture, help improve clarity and make the complexion appear dewy.
Enhances renewal & brightens
The Vita-Solution Whitening Ampule treatment is great for all skin types. It contains a mix of vitamins B3 (niacinamide) and C. The former, which also improves hydration and minimises acne, is said to curb any irritation due to acidity from the vitamin C as it targets pigmentation.
The treatment also has fermented Jeju horse placenta extract, which is said to enhance cell renewal for more even-toned, glowing skin in less than the usual 28 days it would take for natural cell renewal to occur.
Tried & Tested: Two Women Take on Cnp Laboratory’s Ampoules
“The Mugener Ampule was quickly absorbed by my skin and didn’t leave a sticky feel. As I have eczema, I liked that this product significantly reduced redness – even after long hours in the sun.” – Choo Min Hui, Melissa, 29, staff nurse
“I have always had acne marks and dehydrated skin in my cheek area. The Vita-Solution Ampule helped to renew my skin and even out my complexion. I also like how its lightweight texture is easily absorbed.” – Charlene Leow, 23, digital marketing executive
