Skin care ampoules sound—and look—a little bit like a science experiment. So when I first tried Babor’s Ampoul Concentrates, the sleek unit-dosed tubes took me back to elementary school science fairs—only the ingredients inside were a lot more exciting than the classic baking soda concoction for volcanoes. You snap open the ampoule, and then smooth all of its contents onto clean skin. There’s a Firming Ampoule with smoothing peptides, a Hydra Plus Ampoule with moisturizing sunflower seed oil, and a Perfect Glow Ampoule with skin-brightening lactic acid. They are easy to pack—I especially like Hydra Plus for traveling, when my skin gets dried out, and Perfect Glow for a quick radiance boost.
