[3W8L] Energy Active Serum 1.69 fl oz | Vegan Face Ampoule For All Skin Types | Soothing & Moisturizing Face Serum | Korean Skin Care | k-beauty | 3Words 8Letters

For starters, I really like the bottle. It's a nice, frosted glass with dropper...quality. The serum itself is very thin, which I love, but it gives a good boost of moisture. The serum doesn't absorb quickly and leaves a slight stickiness. There is a slight scent, very subtle. Overall, very nice serum.

I've tried tons of different skincare products over the years and I've been very impressed with this serum. It's all I've been using for two weeks, and my skin looks and feels balanced, hydrated and radiant. I was honestly surprised to see such a difference from just a serum. Typically, I used a serum and a moisturizer, but this serum alone has been enough on most days. If I feel like I need more, I put a gentle moisturizer on top. My skin looks lovely. My wrinkles are less noticeable, no redness, and overall a very balanced feel and look.Most of the ingredients in this product are novel to me. I've heard of peptides, niacinamide, squalene and hyaluronic acid for hydration and skin plumping. They work very well. However, I have never used or heard of balloon vine or echium plantagineum. I did a quick search on these ingredients, and they have multiple benefits for the skin. They are rich in antioxidants, anti-bacterial, soothing and even useful for repelling mosquitos. This product also contains sunflower seed oil, which is rich in healthy fats and vitamin E, which promotes healing.The product is indeed serum-like and goes on smoothly. It is not greasy.I would absolutely recommend this product to anyone interested in a soothing, anti-aging serum. I've been very happy with the results.

This product has a lot of really good ingredients, including niacinamide and centella asiatica which are two of my favorites. It comes in a beautiful glass bottle with a glass dropper, although I prefer a darker glass to better protect. Since it is glass, it also requires more care not to drop it.I was expecting to really like this, but I'm so so about it. An ampoule is supposed to be a super charged serum that you use for a short amount of time or as needed, but there isn't a lot of direction given with this product. It just says to use it after an emulsion, which I don't use. So, I am cleansing, using a toner and then this. It makes my normal but "mature" skin feel very watery and takes a long time to absorb. As it absorbs, it kinda feels slightly sticky until it is totally dry. If I would like to apply a moisturizer, makeup and/or sunscreen, that really slows down my routine.So, I like the ingredients in this one, but I don't really like the feeling on my skin. It's a good value, but I have other products that I prefer.

I finish the first bottle, not sure if I notice anything different, I may need a second try.

So I’m still not sure what an Ampoule is versus a Serum? But I wanted to try this out as Korean skincare is where it’s at! This is a nice “serum” (I’m going to call it that since again, I’m not sure what an Ampoule is haha I’m fairly newish to the skincare game). I have very dry and sensitive skin. I did not have any adverse reactions or breakouts. This left my skin feeling hydrated and smooth but I definitely still needed a moisturizer after.I think it’s definitely worth a try. I’m not sure if I would order again since I’m not sure what the long term benefits are just yet, but I will update my review if I see any noticeable changes in my skin while continuing to use this.

This lightweight serum is kind of a jack of all trades. The primary ingredient seems to be niacinamide (which is great for both brightening and anti-aging), but it also has some classic old-school moisturizers (glycerin, allantoin, squalane and lecithin), ferments (oligosaccharides and lactobacillus), peptides, botanical extracts/oils, skin calming ingredients (centella asiatica and madcassoside) and sodium hyaluronate (for hydration). It has a thin but viscous consistency that absorbs completely without leaving any residual tackiness or shine. It contains artificial fragrance but, to my nose, has an almost negligible scent. This is a decent one-stop-shop for day or nighttime use that eliminates to need to layer on a ton of single ingredient serums targeted for different skincare concerns.

So, first and foremost I’d like to explain for clarity: a serum is concoction with appropriate levels of active ingredients to be used on a daily basis. An ampoule is a very concentrated concoction of active ingredients used occasionally to give your skin a boost. The concentration of active ingredients is much higher.I think of it like this: a cleanser is used every day but a scrub/mask is used occasionally. In this case your serum is the cleanser and the scrub/mask is the ampoule.Now onto the product: I love the ingredients, very well done there. These are the kind of ingredients I look out for in skincare. This has a fresh, floral-y, expensive scent to it. It's not overpowering for anyone that can't tolerate scent. It is definitely thicker than most serums I've used and like ampoules should be, a little goes a long way. I use this once a week and love how my skin feels. I make sure to give it enough time to sink into my skin before applying a light moisturizer. I feel like it has improved the texture and brightness of my skin. Sometimes I feel like my skin is sticky after applying it and I think it's because I used too much or applied my moisturizer too quickly.

This milky creamy vegan serum feels so good on my face. I forgotten to apply sunscreen and had a little burn and this was so soothing and hydrating to put on. A little goes a long way and soaks in fast. The glass bottle is beautiful to look at and the doppler is solid. i don’t know about the firming aspect but it does brighten my skin. Gentle enough for all skin types and hydration.
