The main difference between serums and ampoules lies in their concentration, purpose, and how often they're used:

🔬 1. Concentration & Potency

• Serums: Contain active ingredients at high concentrations, designed for daily use to address specific skin concerns like hydration, wrinkles, or dark spots.

• Ampoules: Even more concentrated than serums, with a higher dose of active ingredients. They're like a booster treatment for when your skin needs extra help.

📅 2. Frequency of Use

• Serums: Part of a regular daily skincare routine (morning and/or night).

• Ampoules: Used short-term or periodically (e.g., during a skin crisis or before an event), not meant for everyday use unless specified.

🎯 3. Purpose

• Serums: Long-term results with consistent use.

• Ampoules: Immediate or intensive results in a shorter time frame.

🧴 Texture

• Both can be lightweight and fast-absorbing, but ampoules sometimes feel slightly thicker due to their high concentration.

In short: serum = daily treatment, ampoule = intensive booster.
