Ingredient list for the reviewed formula. Formulas can change; check the ingredient list on your packaging, especially if you have an allergy.
Apothe Exosome Squal-Tox 3% Ampoule is a hydrating Korean serum for dry, dehydrated or tired-looking skin that needs more moisture and comfort. I suggest it as a calm daily serum under your cream, morning and evening, especially in winter.
According to retailers quoting Apothe, the 3% refers to squalane, a light oil that softens the skin and helps keep moisture in. It is combined with niacinamide, jojoba oil, ceramide NP, panthenol and eight forms of hyaluronic acid. The exosomes come from centella callus and are listed as extracellular vesicles. Research on exosomes in skincare is still very new, so I see them as an extra. Its ingredient list contains no fragrance.
🔬 Does hyaluronic acid in skincare really work?
In a randomised study, 76 women used a cream with 0.1% hyaluronic acid around one eye and a cream without it around the other eye, twice a day for 60 days. Every hyaluronic acid cream improved skin hydration and elasticity compared with the plain cream. Fine lines became shallower only with the smaller hyaluronic acid sizes (50 and 130 kDa), probably because small molecules reach a little deeper into the skin's surface.1 It is one small study, and it tested a cream rather than a serum, but it explains why formulas like this one combine several sizes of hyaluronic acid.
Questions about Apothe Exosome Squal-Tox 3% Ampoule
What does Squal-Tox mean?
It is the brand's product name. The ampoule does not contain botulinum toxin and does not relax muscles. The smoother look comes from moisture.
Is it suitable for oily skin?
Yes, the texture is light. If your skin gets shiny easily, use it on its own or under a gel cream.
Can I use it with retinol?
Yes. It is a good, calming layer: apply it after your retinol, then finish with moisturiser.
To compare, have a look at the Medicube Hyaluronic Ceramide Jelly Cream, see my hyaluronic acid selection, or all serums.
