Ampoules for the face
Face ampoules are concentrated skin care products most often used after cleansing, when the face is ready for active ingredients. Thanks to their lightweight texture and targeted purpose, ampoules can be part of a routine when the skin needs extra freshness, radiance, a more even tone, better contour definition or more intensive care before special occasions.
Within the Face cleansing category, ampoules naturally follow properly cleansed skin. After removing impurities, sebum, makeup and SPF, the skin is better prepared for a serum, ampoule, cream or another face care product.
Face ampoules are chosen according to the current skin need: tired complexion, wrinkles, loss of freshness, uneven appearance, oily shine, redness or need for regeneration. If the skin is prone to redness and sensitivity, read the guide How to reduce facial redness.

How to choose face ampoules?
If the goal is skin care focused on wrinkles and contours, Dr. Grandel Beauty Date ampoules can be selected. Such ampoules are often used when the skin needs a smoother, fresher and better cared-for appearance.
For a more even complexion, freshness and mattifying effect, Dr. Grandel Beauty Flash ampoules can be used, especially when the skin looks tired, uneven or prone to unwanted shine.
For regeneration, refreshed appearance and complexion care, Dr. Grandel Summer Selection ampoule set can be chosen, especially when targeted care is desired over a shorter period or before an important event.
How to use face ampoules properly?
Ampoules are usually applied to clean and dry facial skin, after cleansing and before cream, according to the manufacturer’s instructions. The ampoule content is gently distributed over the face, neck and décolletage, avoiding direct contact with the eyes unless the product is intended for that area.
It is important to use ampoules in the recommended amount and not combine too many active products at once if the skin is sensitive. After the ampoule, a moisturizing cream can be applied, and during the day SPF protection as well, especially if the skin is prone to spots, redness or sensitivity.
Face ampoules, redness and sensitive skin
With sensitive skin and skin prone to redness, ampoules should be introduced carefully. If stinging, itching, stronger redness or discomfort appears, the product should be stopped and the routine simplified. With redness, it is important to avoid aggressive cleansing, changing products too often and using too many active ingredients at the same time.

Pharmacist’s advice
Use face ampoules as an addition to the routine, not as a replacement for basic care: gentle cleansing, hydration and daily SPF protection. With sensitive skin, introduce one product first and monitor the skin reaction. If you have rosacea, pronounced redness, stinging, allergic reactions, acne, dermatological therapy, pregnancy or breastfeeding, consult a dermatologist or pharmacist before introducing active ampoules into the routine.
