Skincare · Essence, Serum & Ampoule
Ampoule
The step above a serum in both concentration and price, and the anchor of a premium Korean skincare line. Single-dose vial sets extend it into course-of-treatment positioning, while PDRN and exosome directions represent the current frontier of Korean development.

What makes it work
- The ampoule sits above the serum in both concentration and price, anchoring the premium end of a line.
- Single-dose vial sets support course-of-treatment positioning that raises basket value.
- Sealed vials protect oxidation-sensitive actives, which is why clinic-style ranges use them.
Texture & format
Concentrated treatment with a higher active load than a serum, sold in smaller volumes or sealed single-dose vials.
Frequently asked
What is the difference between an ampoule and a serum?
Concentration and positioning. An ampoule carries a higher active load, is usually sold in a smaller volume at a higher price, and is often positioned as an intensive treatment rather than a daily step.
Why sell single-dose vials?
Sealed single doses protect sensitive actives from oxidation and support a course-of-treatment story, for example a 7 or 14 day intensive program, which raises perceived value and basket size.
