So my skin finally decided to say "Enough" with this product. I've been hearing great things about ampoule, most of which it is a "miracle product" for skin, doing everything from moisturizes, rebuild the skin inside out, antiaging, enhances the skin's appearance, etc., etc.

I've only used two ampoule, and so far my experience with them are...well, iffy. I also might have used more than I actually needed, but haha, I thought the more was better for my dry, itchy skin.

The first one was AIO Honey Ampoule, to which my skin was having none of it. Every time I uses it, my skin gets hot and my face would turned red, and it would get worse the more I uses it. The reaction is mild enough for me to uses the product for a couple of weeks, but no more. I'm not quite sure what ingredients my face doesn't like about it, and the reaction areas are confined to the area under my eyes down to my jawline, and the immediate area under my chin. The rest of my face was alright with it, and those area that doesn't react to the ampoule was very soft, plump, and feels so hydrated. And my hands, too, feel great after using it, so I was sad to have to return it. I wish I could continues to use the honey ampoule, but part of my face doesn't like it =/ I have a very weird face, it seems.

The second one is this, and my face (I think it's confused) doesn't have much reaction to it, except for a very mild redness and sensitivity on my cheekbones and the triangle area under my eyes. And the frigging itchy, dry, flaky spot under my chin that I've been having problem with since November last year.

I was ok with using this ampoule for almost a month before my skin did make up its mind and rejected it. Frigging sensitive skin, can't live without being so picky and high maintenance. And to make it worse, it's only those areas that doesn't like the things I put on it, the rest of me was fine; and I've seen improvements on the areas that doesn't react, and even my decollete seems to like the ampoule. Why does my face have to be so weird?

Any how, this is another great Korean skin care product. It did hydrate my skin, making it very soft to the touch. Though not as good as the AIO Ampoule, I give it credit for doing its job, and another star for holding out longer than the AIO Ampoule. The only thing I would say is that beware of the strong cough syrup smell, though after a while it's not really a bother. And weirdly, after a while of using this, it started to smell like alcohol. I don't know if it's just me, or it's how it is, but I'd recommend this ampoule to skin less sensitive than mine :)
