Korean Serums, Ampoules & Emulsions

Shop Korean Serums, Ampoules & Emulsions

Korean skincare does some of its best work in the middle of the routine. That is where serums, ampoules and emulsions sit: light, fast absorbing formulas that go on after your toner or essence and before your moisturiser. Whether you want a Korean face serum for dull skin, a hydrating ampoule for a tight, thirsty complexion or a silky emulsion to finish the job, you will find it here. Adore Beauty is an official stockist, and this page is part of our wider Korean skincare range.

Korean Peptide Serums for Smoother, Bouncier Skin

Peptide serums are what most shoppers come to this page looking for, and it is easy to see why. A Korean peptide serum suits anyone who wants skin that looks smoother and more supple without adding a heavy step. The COSRX The 6 Peptide Skin Booster Serum is a good place to start, and at 150ml it is a generous bottle that will last. Serums like this go on after toner and before moisturiser, so they slot into most routines without much fuss. Want to compare more options? Our peptides and ceramide skincare range goes well beyond Korean labels.

Hydrating and Brightening Korean Face Serums

Dull skin and dehydrated skin can look alike, but they usually need different things. For a brightening serum, the INNISFREE Vitamin C Brightening Serum comes in a compact 30ml size that is easy to slot in before morning sunscreen. If your skin looks flat and a bit tired, the BEAUTY OF JOSEON Glow Serum: Propolis + Niacinamide is another one to look at. For a drink of water, the COSRX Hydrium Triple Hyaluronic Moisture Ampoule is a 40ml ampoule built around hyaluronic acid. If you would rather shop by ingredient, browse all hydrating and hyaluronic acid serums.

How Ampoules and Emulsions Fit Into Your Routine

An ampoule is usually a more concentrated take on a serum, sold in a smaller bottle. An emulsion is a light, fluid moisturiser, popular with people who find a rich cream too heavy. A simple order is cleanse, tone, serum or ampoule, emulsion, then moisturiser, with sunscreen each morning. You do not need every step. Start with one serum that suits your main concern, give it a few weeks, then build from there. Add one new active at a time, and patch test first if your skin is easily irritated.
