Ampoule:

An ampoule is a highly concentrated skincare product containing potent active ingredients. It delivers intensive effects and is used to target specific skin concerns. Ampoules are usually absorbed faster than serums due to their lightweight texture.

Serum:
A serum is slightly less concentrated than an ampoule and is used to provide hydration and nourishment to the skin. It is ideal for regular, long-term skincare routines to maintain skin health and address general skin issues.

1. Cleansing
Cleanse your face thoroughly to remove dirt, oil, and makeup.
2. Toner
Apply toner to balance the skin's pH and prep the skin for better absorption of skincare products.

3. Ampoule / Serum
Apply ampoule or serum to address specific skin concerns.

4. Eye Cream
Since the skin around the eyes is thin and delicate, take a small amount of eye cream on your fingertip and gently tap it around the eye area. Avoid rubbing or dragging the skin.

5. Moisturizer
After applying eye cream, apply moisturizer over the entire face to lock in moisture and protect the skin barrier.

6. Sunscreen (Morning routine)
In the morning, finish your routine with sunscreen to protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

Note:
When applying eye cream, focus only on the eye area. Use a small amount and gently tap it in, avoiding any rubbing or pulling. Massage lightly until the product is fully absorbed.

SPF 30 blocks about 97% of UVB rays, while SPF 50 blocks around 98%. Although SPF 50 offers slightly higher protection than SPF 30, the difference is only 1%. This means SPF 50 is not always the better choice for everyone—it’s important to choose based on your specific needs and situation.

1. Skin Type
If you have sensitive or easily irritated skin, SPF 50 may be a better option. For those with more resilient skin, SPF 30 can provide sufficient protection.

2. Duration and Environment of Activity
If you plan to spend long hours outdoors or be exposed to strong sunlight, SPF 50 is more suitable. For short outings or daily activities, SPF 30 can still be effective.

3. Frequency of Reapplication
SPF 50 provides higher protection, but it still needs to be reapplied regularly. If you can reapply frequently, SPF 30 can also offer adequate protection.

4. Protection Level vs. User Comfort
Choose SPF 50 when you need stronger protection, and opt for SPF 30 for everyday, lighter use. Some people prefer SPF 30 because SPF 50 can feel heavier or oilier on the skin.

1. Pore-clogging ingredients
Some sunscreens contain oils, silicones, or heavy moisturizing agents that can clog pores, leading to breakouts.

2. Chemical irritation
Certain chemical UV filters (like oxybenzone, avobenzone) may irritate sensitive or acne-prone skin, causing inflammation or worsening acne.

3. Weakened skin barrier
Using the wrong type of sunscreen can damage the skin barrier, making it easier for bacteria to cause breakouts and inflammation.

Choose non-comedogenic products that won’t clog pores.

Opt for oil-free, fragrance-free, and gentle formulas.

Prefer physical (mineral) sunscreens containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide, which are less irritating and safer for acne-prone skin.

Use lightweight textures such as gels, fluids, or water-based sunscreens.

SPF 30 to 50 is enough—higher SPFs may feel heavier and increase the chance of breakouts.

The term "diamond" in such products does not mean they contain actual diamonds. In many cosmetics, when "diamond" is mentioned, it usually refers to finely processed diamond powder or diamond pearl, rather than whole diamonds.

Diamond powder or diamond pearl is made by grinding real diamonds into ultra-fine particles. These ingredients are used mainly for their cosmetic benefits, such as adding radiance to the skin and giving it a bright, luminous appearance.

Additionally, diamond pearl is known for its potential antioxidant effects, skin renewal support, and other skin-enhancing benefits.

Gold serums and masks use pure gold (24K) or gold nanoparticles, which are finely processed into ultra-small particles suitable for skincare products.
These tiny gold particles are blended into serums or masks, adding a luxurious glow to the skin while also delivering skin-enhancing benefits as they absorb into the skin.

1. Sunscreen
Sunscreen should always be applied first because it provides UV protection. It should be the last step of your skincare routine and applied at least 15 minutes before sun exposure for effective protection.

2. BB Cream
BB cream acts as both skincare and light foundation. Apply it after sunscreen has fully absorbed. It helps even out skin tone and offers light coverage.

3. CC Cream
CC cream is similar to BB cream but focuses more on color correction and improving overall skin tone. You can apply it after BB cream for a more natural and even finish.

Therefore, the most suitable order is Sunscreen → BB Cream → CC Cream.
BB cream and CC cream can be layered together, but you can also use them separately depending on your skin's needs and the look you want to achieve.

1. Peptides
Peptides are small chains of amino acids that form short fragments of proteins. In skincare, peptides help strengthen the skin barrier, promote cell regeneration, and reduce inflammation.
Certain peptides work directly on the skin to stimulate collagen production and support skin repair.

2. Collagen
Collagen is a structural protein that plays a key role in our skin, bones, muscles, and other tissues, providing strength and elasticity.
In the skin, collagen is essential for maintaining firmness and density. As we age, the natural production of collagen decreases, leading to wrinkles, sagging, and loss of elasticity.

EGF serum is a highly effective product for skin regeneration and recovery. EGF is a protein that promotes wound healing and cell regeneration, playing an important role in improving overall skin health.

1. Retinoids (Retinol, Retin-A, Tretinoin, Adapalene, Isotretinoin)
Strong vitamin A derivatives that may increase the risk of birth defects.

2. Salicylic Acid (in high concentrations)
High doses of salicylic acid (especially in peels or treatments) are not recommended, as they may pose risks during pregnancy.

3. Hydroquinone
A skin-lightening agent that is absorbed into the bloodstream at a higher rate, which may not be safe during pregnancy.

4. Benzoyl Peroxide (use with caution)
Common in acne treatments, but it should be used cautiously or avoided depending on your doctor’s advice.

5. Chemical Sunscreens (Oxybenzone, Avobenzone, Octinoxate, etc.)
Some chemical filters may disrupt hormones. Safer alternatives are mineral sunscreens containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.

6. Formaldehyde and Formaldehyde-releasing agents
Often found in nail products or hair treatments, these are known carcinogens and should be avoided.

7. Essential Oils (certain types)
Some essential oils like rosemary, sage, clary sage, and cinnamon may not be safe during pregnancy. Always check with your doctor.
