What is an ampoule in K-beauty?
An ampoule is a highly concentrated Korean skincare treatment, stronger than a serum, used to target specific concerns like dullness, dryness or fine lines. Applied after essence and before moisturizer, it's typically used in short bursts or when skin needs an extra boost.

Essence is the lightest and most hydration-focused, serum is more concentrated and targeted, and ampoule is the most concentrated of the three. The boundaries are marketing convention, not regulated definitions.
