VITAMIN C AMPOULE

Feels Harsh on Skin

Contains Artificial Fragrance

Unsatisfactory Scent

Overpowering Smell

Irritating

May Cause Eye Irritation

Pills on Skin

Boosts Radiance

Has a Brightening Effect

Improves Complexion

Easily Absorbed

Not Oily

Has an Anti-Aging Effect

Increases Elasticity

I'm carefully applying it while avoiding the eye area.

After application, it tends to leave a rather sticky residue, so I recommend using it only in the evening. Be careful not to get it in your eyes as it can cause a tingling sensation.

I primarily use this in my evening skincare routine. The lightweight liquid formula absorbs quickly into the skin. As I have dry skin, I reinforce it with an oilier product at the emulsion cream stage, which keeps my skin from feeling parched.

비타민 C 20 앰플

When you first apply the product to your skin, there's a scent similar to aged meat for about 10 seconds, so I hold my breath while applying it.

After using just 6 drops on each cheek every morning for a month, my skin became firmer and the excess oil I used to have has noticeably reduced.

Ingredients that brighten the skin and make it appear smooth and translucent:
- Brightening (Pure Vitamin C)
For post-acne hyperpigmentation and freckles:
- Whitening (Niacinamide)

🔹 Important to note: Always apply sunscreen when going out, it may leave yellow stains on pillowcases, and should be used diligently within 2 months
🔹 When I first used it, I felt some irritation on my forehead and chin, and it seemed too oily. It was fine when I only applied it to my cheeks

🔹 Price: Purchased for 11,650 won along with a niacinamide ampoule
🔹 Scent: Has a nutty aroma reminiscent of sesame oil or cooking oil
🔹 The texture feels slightly oily with a hint of tingling, so I applied it only to my cheeks, avoiding the T-zone. The formula isn't heavy and while it seems to sit on the skin at first, it absorbs quickly over time.
🔹 Pure Vitamin C: Using a slightly acidic toner or foam cleanser can enhance absorption. For maximum effectiveness, apply a moisturizer 5 minutes after the Vitamin C serum!

When applying in the morning, it's absolutely essential to follow up with sunscreen or UV protection!

I wouldn't recommend this for those with lots of blemishes or super sensitive skin due to potential irritation! Also, the short two-month shelf life is a downside, as you need to use it all up within that time... (I actually continued using it for a few months past the expiration date without any major issues)

After using a whole bottle for a few months, I noticed my complexion brightened a bit. Of course, for more noticeable results, you'd need to use it more consistently. Right now, it's just a subtle change that only I can see...

However... it's quite irritating. The next day, my face was covered in red spots.

The biggest advantage is its affordable price point. It also seems to have a high vitamin content.

While there's a slight tingling sensation on my skin and it has a faint egg-like scent, I'll probably continue using it due to its affordability and effectiveness!

After applying the ampoule, I feel like my complexion looks a bit brighter than before! Above all, the price is so reasonable that I'll likely keep using it!

I haven't noticed any significant effects on age spots or freckles. And the smell... It's really not a pleasant scent, even as a joke. It smells like rancid sesame oil mixed with processed meat. I'm not particularly sensitive to smells, but for those who are, this could be a major drawback.

There's a significant tingling sensation right after application. I've used other vitamin products and retinol before, but this one has a unique tingling feeling. I think it's better than products with no irritation and no effect... I'm using it right after my morning cleanse, and it absorbs well into the skin.

Currently, I can't pinpoint exactly what's changed, but my skin condition has improved. Extracted milia scars heal faster, and my complexion has brightened. Especially when I wear makeup, my skin tone and texture look flawless. My forehead is smoother, and blackheads on my nose are disappearing...
I'm not sure if this is the effect of vitamin C, retinol, or other products like melatonin cream or active serums - I've been applying so many things, it's hard to tell -_-

Since vitamin C should be used within 2 months, I'm trying to quickly use up affordable products like Biom Activate, Dermafactory, Hyggee, and COSRX.

Highly recommend alternating this with retinol for day and night use!

The high concentration can cause a slight tingling sensation, but it doesn't lead to redness or other issues, so I'm using it without major problems

Noticeably improves blemishes, especially effective on freckles

Since vitamin C is sensitive to light, prolonged exposure can cause the product to turn noticeably yellow. Be sure to store it in a dark place or in the refrigerator to maintain its effectiveness.

The scent is more off-putting than I expected, so I'd only recommend this to those who don't mind strong fragrances.

I bought this product after hearing that vitamin C is great for skin brightening, and I've been using it since!

Texture: It has a low-viscosity liquid feel, but it's still a bit sticky when applied. The color is a light yellow. The scent is similar to vitamin C tablets, and it lingers on your face after application. This might be a love-it-or-hate-it factor for some people.

Effectiveness: While I didn't notice a dramatic brightening effect, I do feel like my complexion looks somewhat more radiant. That's why I'm continuing to use it consistently.

Caution: I'd advise against using this when you have a lot of blemishes, as vitamin C can irritate the skin. Especially after extracting blemishes, it can really sting... I wish I hadn't learned that the hard way!

It oxidizes quickly, so if you don't use it within 2 months, it turns noticeably brown

I was genuinely amazed to see my complexion brightening in real-time

I've purchased and used many Biome Activate products with my own money, and I find them to be great value for money. I haven't been disappointed by any of their products.
I've used up this entire bottle as well, and I'm satisfied with it.

1. One bottle alone isn't enough to see noticeable results. It seems like consistent use over time is necessary to truly evaluate its effectiveness.

2. Unique scent
I agree with others who mentioned it smells like Vienna sausages!
It has a vitamin B-like scent that isn't overpowering or too strong, but it's quite unusual for a skincare product.

1. The texture is lightweight but has just the right amount of richness without being greasy, leaving the skin feeling hydrated.

2. Perfect size 
Vitamin-infused skincare often needs to be used quickly after opening, which can be overwhelming. However, this size is ideal - even when applied only at night, it can be used up within 2 months (the recommended usage period).

3. High vitamin content without much tingling sensation.
As someone with super sensitive skin who usually struggles with active ingredients, I was able to use this occasionally.
(My husband ended up using it more often, though!)
