AXIS - Y Artichoke Intensive Skin Barrier Ampoule 34 ingredients
Honestly feels great but I couldnt tell u if it even does anything to my skin.
My holy grail. This showed me visible improvements within a few weeks. The redness on my cheeks has significantly improved ever since ive started using this.
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
