Troiareuke is Korea's No.1 professional use skincare brand and their products are mostly natural - no paraben and no animal testing. I heard about the brand from a couple of Korean youtuber's and I was excited to try their ampoule set, since it's easy to mix and match for your own needs.
The ampoules are from what I've seen most commonly used to mix with Troiareuke's skincomplex which is a face mist. Since I'm not a big user of face mists I'm going to tell you all how I use these ampoules.
Green ampoule: Called the "Anti- trouble ampoule" helps skin with troubles and redness. It claims to be a super moisturizer and to have a calming effect on the skin. The main ingredient is Aloe vera fermented extract.
I use this in my essence every morning and night. I add a drop or two and pat the mix on my skin until it is absorbed. I've used up the whole ampoule at this point, and I like it, but I don't see a huge difference in my skins moisture when I use it. I thought this was going to be my favorite ampoule out of the set, because I need more moisture in my dehydrated skin, but sadly it doesn't make a noticeable difference.
Yellow ampoule: Called the "Mela C ampoule" claims to be a brightening and whitening solution that will minimize the melano synthesis to reduce the melanin process. Which means it will help reduce the appearance of sunspot and acne scars. The main ingredients are Ellagic acid, Mandarin oil, pomegranate extract and Green tea catechin extract.
I mix two drops of this in my vitamin c serum in the morning (always finish your routine with SPF!). I've been really liking my vitamin c serum but for me it's hard to tell if the ampoule boosts the effect or not. I still have a lot of the ampoule left and if I see a difference in my sunspots when I run out of this ampoule I would repurchase this again for sure.
Blue ampoule: Called the "Akne-C ampoule" it claims to cool down the skins temperature while also being anti-inflammatory and an anti-bacterial solution for acne prone skin. The main ingredients are Lavender oil, Green tea catechin extract, Spirullina and Sephora extract.
I wasn't that excited about this when I ordered it. I liked the spot treatment i was using, and didn't really expect this ampule to do a whole lot. Boy was I wrong! I use this as a spot treatment and dab a bit on any spot or bump I have on my face, and usually by morning it's clearing up or completely gone! This is by far the best spot treatment I've ever used and it is a HG product for sure.
Red ampoule: Called the "Cell Repair Formula ampoule" and it claims to be a super anti-ageing solution that visibly improve skins elasticity and reduce wrinkles. The main ingredients are Pycnogenol, Anthocyanin and Pentapeptide.
I use a drop of this ampoule under each eye every morning and evening before I put on my eye cream. I have noticed a slight improvement in my fine lines and I do believe that continued use of this ampoule with reduce the risk of those fine lines getting more noticeable. I wouldn't use this all over my face, just because I have other anti aging serums in my routine, but since my eye area is a big concern of mine, I would definitely repurchase this again as an anti age eye serum.
Just to clear up any confusion - ampoules are in the same family as essences and serums. An ampoule is a supercharged serum with higher concentrations of active ingredients that you are meant to use as a booster, to mix in with other essences, serums or creams. Ampoules usually come in smaller bottles with a dropper.
In the above picture the products I mixed the ampoules with are:
Green - Missha Time Revolution First Treatment Essence
Yellow - Klairs Freshly Juiced Vitamin C Drop
Blue - Klairs Midnight Blue Calming Cream (HG combo!)
Red - Clarins Super Restortive Total Eye Concentrate
The reviewed product is a trial set of the four ampoules at 5ml each priced at $68. A full size ampoule is 20ml and costs $60 each. A kit of all four full size ampoules is $240.
I bought my set on w2beauty.com
Hope this was helpful!
