My First Impression: This ampoule comes in a bottle glass packaging with a dropper. There used to be only one size available but now there’s also mini size; 50ml available for purchase. The glass packaging is very heavy and since it’s glass, be careful while handling it.
Texture(s): Its consistency is very watery but has some viscosity and slip to it. It layers really well on top and below other skincare products.
Usage(s): I love using this in both morning and night routines. Sometimes if my skin feels irritated, I soak some of this ampoule on cotton pads and put them on my face for a few minutes until the irritation calms down. One full dropper is enough for the entire face but sometimes I do layering with this ampoule too. First I will apply the first full dropper on my cheeks, distributing it to the other area of my face and wait until it starts to set on my skin then I will apply the second full dropper of the ampoule. Some people might be confused when to apply this product. For me, the texture matters in applying the skincare products so I apply this before thick serum.
Result(s): As you can see in the comparison of before and after picture, it has helped so much whenever my dermatitis is flared up. Sometimes my skin is acting up whenever I use benzoyl peroxide (acne cream/treatment). This is so, so soothing to the skin! When my skin is irritated, this comes to the rescue! And my skin gets flushed very easily too so when I started to incorporate this ampoule in my routine, my skin rarely gets red/flushed anymore.
Overall: There’s reason why I always and highly rave this product. I think by now I’ve already used up five to six full size bottles. It truly is a miracle to my skin. It is becoming a staple in my routines; both day and night. But please be aware that because it doesn’t have any preservatives, I highly recommend to finish using this within three months of opening it. Since this is a watery/liquid product & there’s no preservatives so its shelf life is very short. The longest I suggest to keep using it is within five to six months. I wouldn’t suggest using it more than that. Also, I see some people mixing this product with water to use it as a mist. Whike that is actually a great method to freshen our skin, but again, because there is no preservatives, I suggest to use up the mixture within just a couple of days.
