Korean Serums and Ampoules

WHAT ARE KOREAN SERUMS? 

Korean serums are one of the most popular Kbeauty products because they are made with higher concentrations of active ingredients. Compared to essences, another K-beauty staple, serums have denser, more viscous textures. 

You'll also find that they are packed with active ingredients like Vitamin C, niacinamide, peptides, collagen, sea buckthorn and more. Korean serums work by targeting specific skin concerns like acne, dark spots, pigmentation, wrinkles, signs of aging and acne scars. You can use a serum to replenish your skin’s hydration and moisture, to target dark spots, uneven skin tone, lack of firmness, loss of elasticity and more. 

If you haven’t already started using a Korean serum into your skin care routine, start off by finding the best Korean serum for your specific skin issues and skin type. The STYLE STORY team can assist with this, or you can be guided by our helpful product descriptions and reviews from real beauty users. 

WHAT ARE KOREAN AMPOULES? 

Korean Ampoules are the most concentrated out of essences, serums and ampoules. They are perfect for when your skin needs immediate attention. If your skin is stressed, troubled or needs a boost of active ingredients, ampoules are the perfect product to reach for. 

Korean ampoules have high concentrations of active ingredients, making them more potent than regular serums. How do I use Korean serums and ampoules in my skincare routine? 

You can use serums and ampoules as part of both your day time and night time skincare routines. Simply start with the product that is lightest in viscosity and move up to the heaviest last in your routine. 

You will often see ampoules are recommended to use after your essence or serum. However, you can also mix them into your essence, serum, moisturiser or even a sleeping mask.
