AMPLE:N Ceramide Shot Ampoule 35 ingredients
This is a holy grail in my skincare routine. It might not seem like it’s needed or even necessary due to its minimal ingredient list, but if you’re looking for the most supple and instant hydration boost that protects and repairs your skin barrier — this is it!
This is a rich soothing serum ampoule that really helps my dry mature skin. It calms redness and any irritation as well as softens and plumps. Because I am older I use a full dropper of the 100ml size but I think a younger person could use less. Generally it is an evening product for me but when my skin is very sensitive I use it twice a day. This is an excellent product for healing a damaged skin Show more
Cocokind Ceramide Barrier Serum 32 ingredients
not a bad serum! helped with my skin barrier and redness and dark spots and dryness but it did give me a few bumps on my forehead, it went away but left a few which were annoying and kinda irritated my skin around my nose for the first few days of using but my skin got better and improved. i would probably go back to this serum but i feel that there are other better alternatives
I bought this when my skin barrier was damaged, hoping it would calm the irritation i have, but it made things worse. This serum broke me out badly. I think it might be due to the high concentration of ceramides, but it also contains PHA, so I’m not sure if it was a breakout or purging. However, when I stopped using it, my skin returned to normal. As a barrier serum, I don’t think this is Show more
