BABOR invented the skincare ampoule in 1956 — single-dose, hermetically sealed, freshly opened each morning. The Hydra Plus is the hydration-focused variant in their Ampoule Concentrates range, and it remains one of the most elegant hydration delivery systems in European skincare. Each ampoule contains a concentrated dose of sodium hyaluronate and saccharide isomerate (a plant-derived sugar that binds to keratin for 72-hour moisture retention). Beta vulgaris (beetroot) root extract adds natural moisturising factor support. Fructooligosaccharides feed the skin microbiome — a prebiotic approach to barrier health that predates the current trend by decades. The ritual matters: snap the ampoule, apply with fingertips, follow with moisturiser. It's a 30-second luxury that transforms a boring morning routine into something that feels professional. Seven ampoules per box, one per day — a week-long hydration cure.

Brazil's pharmacy skincare ecosystem rivals France's — but the brands are largely unknown outside Latin America.
