While I appreciate large retailers, I have a special place in my heart for smaller shops that curate every offering. I was so excited when Oshen Skin sent me this RNW Energy Ampoule Kit, handpicked by them. It’s available here and you can save extra with my code KBHOBBIT10. Watch the unboxing here.
The RNW Energy Ampoule Kit contains 5 bottles to try and explore. Each one is 10 ml can be used by itself (as part of a routine) or layered with the other RNW ampoules. RNW is a completely new to me brand, so I was excited to get so many of their products to try.
What’s included:
Der. Concentrate Hyaluronic Acid Plus: attracts moisture to the skin and plumps it up
Der. Concentrate Niacinamide Plus: can help with fine lines, the appearance of pores, and pigmentation
Der. Concentrate Ceramide Plus: promises to promote collagen production, support a healthy skin barrier, and help with fine lines
Der. Concentrate Adenosine Plus: boosts collagen production to help with fine lines and wrinkles
Der. Concentrate 4-Terpineol Plus: an anti-inflammatory formula with tea tree oil to help with breakouts
How to use:
Apply to clean skin after using toner
Gently pat in
Follow with the rest of your routine (serum, if using, moisturizer, etc)
My impressions
I have combination skin with an oily t-zone and dry-to-normal everything else. All of these ampoules have lovely textures. Some have a bit of a scent (from the natural ingredients - no artificial fragrance), but it’s super mild. I’ve been using them as part of my evening routine for several weeks, picking one or the other depending on how my skin is feeling. These would be ok for morning as well, but I have more time and energy for skincare at night.
This is such a cute way to try new ampoules. And I know that brands take liberties with product names - I think these could be called serums as well. If you are confused about the Korean skincare routine steps, check out this video.
My favorite, hands down, is the Der. Concentrate Niacinamide Plus. Niacinamide is such a powerhouse for the skin, helping with everything from pores to pigmentation. And while it’s already present in a lot of formulas, I do like a separate niacinamide product as well.
I reach for the niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, and ceramide more often than for the other two. However, my routines have room for all of them. My only small complaint is about pipettes - I like a good amount of product on my face, and these droppers are tiny, so I end up just pouring a bit of the ampoule into my hand straight from the bottle. They are still lasting me a good amount of time.
I think more brands should offer sets like this - not tiny sample sachets enough for half a use, but actual minis that would work for several days / weeks and let the user form a solid opinion. I 100% want a full size of the RNW Der. Concentrate Niacinamide Plus now!
