Pairs well with: Hydrating toners and essences, barrier-repair serums, centella layers, panthenol, peptides, niacinamide, ceramide creams, and lightweight humectant essences. These combinations enhance moisture retention, strengthen the barrier, and make the ampoule particularly effective for dry, sensitised, or dull skin. The ampoule also works well with low-concentration, skin-buffered retinoids (the gentle type that blend retinol/retinal with soothing ingredients): – Dry/normal skin: use in the same routine, applying the ampoule after the retinoid as a protective moisturising layer. – Oily/acne-prone skin: use on alternate nights to prevent heaviness. – Never apply before retinoids — the emollient base can dilute penetration.
Compatible with: Niacinamide, squalane, fermented extracts, amino-acid complexes, ceramides, gentle vitamin C derivatives (SAP, MAP, 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid), and most moisturisers. Mild exfoliants such as low-dose AHA/BHA/PHA toners or pads (0.5–2%) can be used in the same routine for most skin types. For oily/congestion-prone skin, it’s often best to alternate with acids to avoid a heavy finish. Avoid combining with strong acid serums (5–10%) in the same routine.
Avoid using: High-strength retinoids, strong exfoliating acids, or peel-level actives in the same routine. The ampoule is rich and barrier-coating, so pairing it with very potent treatments can feel too occlusive or overwhelming, especially for sensitive or reactive skin.
Layering tip: Shake well. Apply after toner/essence on slightly damp skin to boost absorption. Follow with eye cream and moisturiser. In morning routines, always finish with SPF to protect barrier-supporting actives.
Pro Tip: The mix of vegan milk ferments, ceramides, phyto-amino acids, and nourishing oils makes this an ideal rehabilitation ampoule for stressed or dehydrated skin. It restores suppleness, smooths texture, and creates a soft, dewy finish — without feeling greasy when layered correctly.
