What is Ampoule?
앰플
Concentrated serum boost
Ampoules are supercharged serums with higher concentrations of active ingredients. Think of them as an essence or serum in overdrive — meant for intensive treatment periods rather than everyday use. They typically come in smaller bottles and target specific concerns like brightening, anti-aging, or hydration. In Korean skincare, ampoules are used when your skin needs an extra boost.
