| Lee Ji Ham (its formerly known as) contains 15ml |
I bought this ampoule because of its high reviews. Many raves
about how good and nice their skin become from wearing it.
So, what is Ampoule and when to apply it?
Easiest way to understand an ampoule is, think of it as a supercharged serum. What make an
ampoule a supercharged serum is that it has higher concentration of active
ingredients and these ingredients are used to target skin concerns. Often,
ampoule come in smaller size than serum and with a dropper.
Product Claimed:

skin tone, leaving it revitalized, radiant and supple.” Taken
from Lee Gee Haam homepage.

How to apply?
Apply 2-3 drops and gently pat your skin for better absorption.
I personally like to directly drop 1 drop on my forehead and on each
side of my nose (where it most dry). Then, with my hand, I gently pat my face to
properly distribute the product all over my face. Pat and press until it is
well absorbed. Let it be for a minute of two before I continue with serum.
Depending on how dry my skin is. This ampoule is slow to absorb (this is a good
thing. That means, it has no alcohol.).
Patting and pressing is the only method I use when applying tonic
(rarely with cotton pad), first essence, serum and cream. It’s my favourite
part during my skincare routine. Its like giving myself a facial massage. Some
moisturizer, I do rub it with upward massage. I read somewhere, if you massage downward,
you will speed up the sagging skin and wrinkle process.

Recipe insight claimed that they like to add a drop of this to their
skincare routine or to a bb/cc cream and in their foundation for a dewy and
natural luminescent finish look.
My Review
 |
| See how hydrated my skin became???? |
 |
| Ampoule is much more watery than ordinary serum |
Honestly, my very first experience with this ampoule weren’t so
good. It was horrible. It caused a horrible breakout. I had what people called “blind pimple”. It lasted for many
weeks! In the end, it disappeared by itself. But leaving a dark pigmentation
signature to remind me where it was! Because of how much people rave about it, I
gave it a second try. Same thing happened. Felt so stupid. I should have known,
if the first time doesn’t work, neither will the second time.
I left the ampoule for half year in my vanity drawer. I brought it
out few months ago, when the weather at its driest and my skin in need of help.
ASAP! I decided to give this ampoule another try. But his time around, I will skip
any serum and go directly to lock it with moisturizer. I also decided to apply only when my skin needing that extra hydration.
Guess what! This method works! It definite gives me what many reviews have rave
about and most importantly, this time, it didn’t cause any breakout! Love it! I
have been using it ever since.
Easy read on how I use my Lee Gee Haam Ampoule:
- I skip any serum if I am going to wear it for that day. (cleanse-
toner- first essense-ampoule-moisturizer)
- I don’t wear this everyday. Only when my skin is at its driest.
(once a week at most).
- I don’t wear makeup on the day I have this on.
- I don’t do any facial treatment on the day I’m wearing this. Not
even a sheet mask. Because I’m worried it might trigger the breakout.
- Let my face dry before I apply the ampoule and I will let the
ampoule to properly absorb before I apply my moisturizer.
Tips! If
this have caused you breakout, skip any treatment serum if you are going to
wear this ampoule. It might be the cause of the breakout. Also, only reach for
it when you need it the most (not everyday). Replace it with your normal serum when
you don’t need it. After all, it’s a supercharged serum.
