What Are Ampoules For Skin? | Kiehl’s

With their vaguely scientific-sounding name and similarity to serums, ampoules are quite intriguing to the unfamiliar. Unlike toners (which tone), and cleansers (which cleanse), the name ampoule doesn’t give you much of an idea of what these trendy treatments do. Add to that their origins in the amazing, ever-evolving world of Korean skincare, and it’s fair to say that skin ampoules are one of the more question-raising skincare products on the market (at least, judging by the amount of “what are ampoules?” articles a Google search pulls up).

When it comes down to it, though, skin ampoules aren’t nearly as confounding as they sound. Here, we’ll give you the scoop on what ampoules are and what they do. You’ll also discover our must-have ampoule treatment and learn how to use this potent program in your skincare routine. Get ready for the dish and read on for the Kiehl’s guide to ampoules for skin.
