Review (4/5): No Fragrance, Moisturizing, Not The Greatest Value-Improvements Could Be Made
These Doctor Babor Hyaluronic Acid Serum Power Serum Ampoules seem pretty good. I definitely like this better than their collagen concentrate ampoules, but there are things that could have been changed to make me like this product a lot more.
-Received 7 glass ampoules with 2ml of product inside each one
-Well presented in a nice looking silver display box
-You have to snap the glass ampoules open. They do provide a plastic cylindrical piece to aid in doing so. I’m a nurse, so I’m used to breaking open these kinds of ampoules without any issue. I can imagine that some people would not like this though
-Watery serum that glides across skin easily
-Honestly, a little seems to cover a large area of skin. 2ml may not seem like a lot, but a single ampoule seems like way more than would be needed for one application. I have split one into 3-4 uses to be honest
-I’m assuming the company intends for one whole ampoule to be used as one application because each one is labeled as day 1-7, and they provide no way to seal an ampoule back after using which I found to be rather frustrating
-Absorbs rapidly and doesn’t feel sticky or tacky after drying like the collagen concentrate did
-Their collagen concentrate ampoules also had a heavy fragrance, so I was SO relieved to find that there is no added fragrance with these
-Made in Germany
So does it really help with plumping, smoothing, and reducing wrinkles? I don’t know. I definitely like the way my skin looks and feels right after application, but I haven’t noticed anything drastic.
As I previously stated, the 2ml of serum feels like A LOT to me if you try to put it all on your face at once. Unfortunately, this company also does not provide a way to seal an individual ampoule back for future use since they apparently intend for one ampoule to be an entire application. I remember I tried a set by the ISDIN brand with glass ampoules just like these. In the kit, the company included a top to slide over the opened glass ampoule with a cap to seal for future use. This was awesome and so convenient. I was disappointed to find out that this company did not include anything like that (I took a picture of that top and cap on one of these ampoules so you can see).
Anyway, it is possible that this product may provide good results when used long term, but I just don’t really like this being intended for use over 7 days only. If they included a top with cap to seal each individual ampoule so that the product could be used over a longer period of time, I would like it much more. I would definitely prefer a serum in a larger bottle with dropper lid.
Anyway, I hope my review was helpful in some way, and if so, I would love to know – thanks! I’ll be sure to update if I have any other comments to add.
