Essence, Serum, Ampoules. Are they the same?

Essence, serum and ampoules belongs to the same family but they have their own distinct functions. Most of us may think since they are of the same family, are they delivering the same effect to our face?


Get your hydration game up with an essence. The generic moisturizers we use do not cut it anymore. You need something that brings out the inner glow and brightens your skin. Use a toner followed by an essence. It allows better absorption of serums and ampoules, which contain higher concentrations of active ingredients.

Essences primarily contain water, along with some active ingredients, extracts, and HCAs. These ingredients brighten skin and retain moisture. Often, ingredients differ, depending on the skin type of the consumer and desired solution.


Serums are hyper concentrated solutions, it is spreadable, gel-like, thick, and lightweight. They are absorbed quickly by the skin because they are packed with high levels of active ingredients. Serums usually address a specific skin concern e.g. Vitamin C (for brightening), AHAs/BHAs (for blemish woes), Hyaluronic Acid (for dehydrated skin) etc. They are made to target specific skin care concerns.

Serums usually come in ‘dropper’ bottles or pumps. Just take a few drops or one pump and apply evenly all over your face. The serum gets absorbed in no time. Wait a minute before you move to the next step.


Ampoules contain the highest concentration of active ingredients among the three and were traditionally, meant to be used over a certain period of time or only a few times a week. It helps to increase collagen production in skin. They add moisture and restore skin health.

Ampoules are super charged with rich ingredients that boost your routine. Because of its strength, you can opt to use them sparingly.
