Key Ingredients and Their Benefits

1. Centella Asiatica Extract (5,150 ppm)

Centella Asiatica, also known as Cica or Tiger Grass, is renowned for its healing and soothing properties. Rich in compounds like madecassoside and asiaticoside, it promotes collagen synthesis, aids in wound healing, and enhances the skin’s barrier function. Its anti-inflammatory effects help calm irritated skin, making it suitable for sensitive and acne-prone skin types.

2. Himalayan Pink Salt

Himalayan Pink Salt is enriched with over 80 minerals that help to remove skin impurities due to its anti-inflammatory properties and its ability to draw out dirt and oil from the skin. This ingredient assists in cleansing and detoxifying pores, contributing to a clearer complexion.

3. 9-Peptide Complex

Peptides are short chains of amino acids that play a crucial role in skin health. The 9-peptide complex in this ampoule promotes collagen synthesis, which boosts skin elasticity and tightens saggy pores. This complex helps in improving skin texture and firmness, leading to a more youthful appearance.

4. Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract

Aloe Vera is known for its soothing and moisturizing properties. It helps to calm irritated skin, reduce redness, and provide hydration. Aloe Vera also has anti-inflammatory effects, making it beneficial for sensitive skin.

5. Glycerin and Biosaccharide Gum-1

Glycerin is a humectant that draws moisture into the skin, keeping it hydrated. Biosaccharide Gum-1 is a sugar-based ingredient that provides long-lasting hydration and has soothing properties. Together, they ensure the skin remains moisturized without feeling greasy.

Formulation and Texture

The ampoule has a light to medium consistency that is runny. It feels thin when spread on the skin and does not have any noticeable scent. The product is alcohol-free, fragrance-free, and essential oil-free, making it suitable for sensitive skin. Its watery texture with minimized oil content provides a burst of moisture with a non-sticky and refreshing finish.

Packaging

The ampoule comes in a sturdy glass bottle with a dropper, ensuring precise application. The packaging is both functional and aesthetically pleasing, with a light pink hue that reflects the product’s gentle nature. However, users should handle the glass bottle with care to prevent breakage.

Application and Usage

For optimal results, apply the ampoule after cleansing and toning. Use approximately one full dropper and gently massage it into the skin. Allow the product to absorb fully before applying other skincare products. It can be used both in the morning and evening.

Performance and Effectiveness

Users have reported that the ampoule provides a subtle reduction in pore appearance, with smoother skin texture. While the effects may not be dramatic, consistent use can lead to noticeable improvements in skin clarity and elasticity. The product is well-tolerated by sensitive skin and does not cause irritation.
