Hi my lovelies!<\/p>\n
Jolse recently sent me a PR parcel with some Wish Formula goodies to try, and the first one up is the I’m Pro Ampoule Pad. I’ve never tried an ampoule pad before, or even applied an ampoule with a cotton pad so I was definitely super curious to see how this would work for me. The pad claims to have brightening, antioxidant, and skin revitalising properties – a quick glance at the ingredients list reveals ascorbic acid, AKA Vitamin C as the star ingredient for achieving this. However, this form of Vitamin C is the most unstable of them all, so I’m curious to see if individual packaging\/doses would help reduce product oxidisation!<\/p>\n
Each dose comes in a 7ml packet containing both the ampoule and pad, which has a small loop on one side for ease of application. A box contains 10 sachets, so that’s a total of 70mls of ampoule, which is alright considering most ampoules & serums average 30ml.<\/p>\n
The pad itself was quite thin – not as thin as a sheetmask, but certainly much thinner than the average cotton pad. The pad was definitely soaked quite thoroughly with ampoule – a good sign! However, I found the ampoule was quite slippery, and it made it difficult to hold onto the pad without using my thumb to stabilise it on my face. Discarding the pad and using hands to pat it in was definitely the best way to ensure it was allllll over my face for best results. Despite alcohol ranking high on the ingredients list, I didn’t find this drying to use, but there was no apparent immediate brightening effect. The only thing about Vitamin C is that it takes multiple applications over time to see visible results. I also did not experience any tingling that is common with Vitamin C serums. Considering there was a fair amount of Vitamin C in this, I tested the pH and it came out to 3.5 – appropriate for Vitamin C and a similar pH to most Vitamin C serums, if I’m not mistaken.<\/p>\n
