APOTHE

Chosen by a dermatologist

APOTHE is a Korean derma-care skincare brand that builds its ampoules, toners and creams around current actives such as peptides, PDRN and exosomes. Its main lines are Exosome Squal-Tox, built on squalane and several forms of hyaluronic acid, and the Tulip and TulipRx lines. Here you can buy APOTHE in Switzerland, from the Exosome Squal-Tox 3% Ampoule to the TulipRx PDRN Retinal Night Cell Ampoule.

I picked APOTHE for a small, clear range: one calm hydrating ampoule and two more active TulipRx products, so you can choose between comfort and a stronger routine.

How to choose

Start with your skin’s main need

  1. Dry, dehydrated or tired-looking skin

    Exosome Squal-Tox 3% Ampoule with squalane, niacinamide, ceramide NP and several forms of hyaluronic acid, a calm daily serum under your cream. Its ingredient list contains no fragrance.

  2. Fine lines and rough texture

    TulipRx PDRN Retinal Night Cell Ampoule with retinal, a fast-acting form of vitamin A, plus panthenol, niacinamide and ectoin. Start two to three evenings a week and wear sunscreen by day. Not for use in pregnancy.

  3. A hydrating first step after cleansing

    TulipRx PDRN Hydro Capsule Shot Essence Toner with niacinamide and panthenol. Tiny sponge spicules and small amounts of exfoliating acids can make it tingle, so it is not for very sensitive skin or rosacea.

Questions about APOTHE

Can I use the TulipRx toner and the retinal ampoule together?

Carefully. The spicules and light acids in the toner can make retinal feel stronger. If your skin is new to retinoids or reacts easily, use the toner in the morning and the retinal ampoule in the evening.

Is APOTHE vegan and cruelty-free?

We found no brand-wide vegan or cruelty-free statement for APOTHE, and APOTHE is not on PETA’s cruelty-free list. The Exosome Squal-Tox 3% Ampoule lists no animal ingredients. The two TulipRx products contain PDRN (DNA, usually from salmon) and collagen, and the toner also contains sponge, so they are not vegan. The retinal ampoule also contains macadamia oil, which matters if you have a nut allergy; with a fish allergy, ask your doctor before using PDRN products.
