When you reach a certain age, your skin will undergo a series of changes, like uneven skin tone, rough texture, pigmentation issues, fine lines, wrinkles etc.
There is nothing out there that can stop these changes from happening.
Hence, it's very important that we should always listen to our skin and understand what our skin needs from us in order to get the best care to keep the flaws as best as we could.
My skincare routine usually very simple; from face toner, to an essence or serum and then a day & night cream.
However, I recently find out that the current skincare products are not very sufficient enough to my skin anymore, probably because of my age and also the environmental pollution.
I'm looking for some treatments to add into my skincare routine which can help revive and boost the my skin for better complexion.
As far as I know, skincare ampoules are like a supercharged serum with higher concentrations of active ingredients to target skin concerns such as fine lines, dullness, rough texture and infuse skin with a nature glow.
Think of it as a booster shot, ampoules are more potent than serums, which is non-sticky to give an immediate absorption, provide lasting effects, help to restore balance of our skin.
SHO (Special Homecare Origin) from South Korea has it's specially made of daily ampoule products.
Unlike the other skincare ampoules (use for a finite period of time), SHO ampoule is designed as a daily used ampoule whereby you just need to replace your serum or essence with SHO ampoule for better concentration.
It is said that their ampoule is 3x more effective and better absorption by the skin compared to normal serum or essence, and that's why it has been sold 10 bottles per minute globally.

SHO Wrinkle Lift Peptide Ampoule

SHO comes with four types of Ampoules to cater different skin types; SHO Real Vita AA2G for radiance, SHO Wrinkle Lift Peptide for firming, SHO Aging Red Ginseng for nutrition and SHO Aqua Hyaluronic for moisture.
SHO Wrinkle Lift Peptide Ampoule @ RM189 (50ml) is my first pick for this round since the ampoule is recommended for rough, flaky and aging skin.
It's a functional ampoule that highly effective in skin firming, enhancing skin elasticity and health, improving wrinkles and moisturizing.

Ingredients

Here's the breakdown of the ingredients that contain in the SHO Wrinkle Lift Peptide Ampoule:
#1 Marine originated collagen: skin firming, enhancing skin barrier
#2 Adenosin: wrinkle improvement, enhancing skin elasticity
#3 Portulaca Oleracea Extract: soothing skin, antimicrobial
#4 Elastin: maintaining skin elasticity
#5 Hyaluronic Acid: smoothing skin texture, moisturizing

Packaging

I'm very impressed with it's packaging design, especially the tin container that helps to well protect the product from being break since the glass ampoule is fragile.
The round glass bottle with glass dropper is very good for storage and also allowing the contents to be easily dispensed and controlled the amount by the user.
Also, I find this kind of dropper packaging design is much more hygiene whereby the content will not get affected easily by the environmental factors such as pollution.

Texture

I feel so good when applying the product on my skin because it contains floral fragrance in this product.
Compared to the essence and serum products I've used before, the content is not very watery, more to be a gel-like in texture.
Though the content is slightly thicker, it is pretty mild which doesn't take a lot of time and effort to spread evenly over my face.
And, the best thing about the ampoule is it has fast and easy absorption which consider a good product to use in AM and as well as PM.

How to Use?

There are several ways to apply the ampoule, but the most common way to use the ampoule is to apply evenly an appropriate amount of ampoule in the stage of essence (after face toner) and then tap gently into your skin to promote absorption.
Other than that, you can also:
#1 Put your face sheet mask on after you apply the ampoule for a better result
#2 Use it as a sleeping mask by mixing the ampoule with your moisturizer
#3 You can also mix a little bit of ampoule to your foundation to give your makeup finishing a touch of glow

My Experience

This is such a nice ampoule!
I can feel my skin is firmer, smoother, and my overall complexion has improved!
Well, Lik also noticed that my fine lines have become much less noticeable since I've started to use this product.
Also, the texture is smooth and gentle, whereby your skin will not feel sticky instead hydrated afterwards.
So, it is very good to use in the morning before I have my makeup on and also apply it at night to get a smooth, firm and beautiful skin on the next day.
Another reasons I like about this ampoule is I think the price is probably quite fair for a decent ampoule that packed with full of goodness for your skin.
I will make my next purchase with the SHO Aqua Hyaluronic and I trust it will certainly help to boost my moisture level instantly.

SHO Wrinkle Lift Peptide Ampoule Mask

I also tried out it's ampoule face sheet mask with the SHO Wrinkle Lift Peptide Ampoule Mask @ RM159 (27ml x 7 pieces) which also recommended for rough, flaky, and aging skin.
The face sheet mask is formulated with the similar key benefits like the peptide ampoule for enhancing skin elasticity, moisturize, vitalizing and firming of your skin.
SHO ampoule mask is different with the daily mask from the other brands as it acts more like a treatment mask, whereby it decreases oil lever by 60% and increases moisture level by 46% after 1 application.
The product has been clinically tested and also been testified by 80% users, saying that the result can be seen after just 1 application!

Ingredients

Each ampoule face masks offer 4 different ingredients, include:
#1 Peptide: the most effective ingredient for elasticity of skin
#2 Marine originated collagen composite: works to moisturize your skin effectively
#3 Acetyl Hexapeptide-8 and the Adenosine components: well known for it’s outstanding anti -aging effects, which will make your skin healthier and look younger
#4 Glycosaminoglycans and Lecithin: helps to achieve a moist and elastic skin texture

Packaging

SHO Wrinkle Lift Peptide Ampoule Mask comes with total 6 sheets in one package.
I like it's packaging very much with an idea to keep all the face sheet masks inside a tin container.

Texture

How to Use?

#Step 1: After washing the face, apply face toner to your face
#Step 2: Place the mask on your face centering on eyes
#Step 3: Peel off the mask after about 15 to 20 minutes
#Step 4: Tap gently so that the essence absorb deep into your skin

My Experience

Can you see how dewy, how moisture my skin on the picture?
It's really such a great face mask to apply after having a long exhausted and stressful week.
In just 20 minutes application, my skin instantly feel restored, hydrated, smooth and glowing!
As the sheet mask helps to repair the skin barrier, so somehow it helps to reduce and soften the appearance of fine lines that caused by dryness.
Besides that, the cotton sheet is quite elastic which allows me to stretch over my face very easily, and the great fragrance also makes my skin feel happier.
Since the sheet mask contains ampoule, I did not wash off the residue after applying it, as I do not want to wash all of that skin-nourishing goodness.
I just continue my skincare routine with the peptide ampoule and night cream.

Where to Buy SHO?

I'm definitely satisfied with the results of both ampoule and face sheet mask from SHO!
