What Is an Ampoule — and How Can It Rejuvenate Your Skin?

Ampoules have crossed over from professional facials into home routines — and for good reason. These short, intensive bursts of highly concentrated actives give skin a targeted boost when it needs a reset. Here's what an ampoule is and how to use one.

What is an ampoule?

An ampoule is a supercharged serum — an even higher concentration of actives, usually used as a short, intensive course rather than every day. Think of it as a focused treatment to rejuvenate tired, depleted skin.

How and when to use one

Use an ampoule as a booster course — for example over one to four weeks — when skin needs extra support: before an event, after winter, or when it looks dull and tired. Layer hyaluronic acid and follow with SPF by day.
