Skin Doctors Potent Vit. A and Potent Vit. C Ampoules
Is one of your resolutions this year to look after your skin more? Then today I have a treat for you from Skin Doctors in the form of their Potent Vit A and Potent Vit C Ampoules. Specially made for day (Vit C) and night (Skin Doctors Vit A) use these retinol products are here to give your skin a new lease of life.
Skin Doctors Potent Vit A and Potent Vit C Ampoules
Skin Doctors Potent Vit. C Ampoules
Each glass jar contains 50 of the ampules, each of which contains a very concentrated amount of the serum of use day (Vit. C) and night (Vit. A).
To start with the Vit C. Ampoules. These contain a concentration of 10% Ascorbic Acid (Vitamin C), which helps hydrate the skin as well as delivering antioxidants to help fight against things like free radicals. The long-term effects include the skin feeling firmer and more vibrant. While each dose is there to help boost the production of collagen and elastin while fighting off the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles – all of which are formulated to reduce the signs of ageing.
It is worth noting that these collagen boosting capsules also include Dimethicone Crosspolymer, which is a silicone based ingredient and not something everyone likes in their skincare. It leaves the skin feeling silky smooth, which can, of course, offer a great base for your moisturiser or makeup.
Just twist or snip the ampoule neck to open and then apply by lightly tapping the serum onto the skin once you’ve cleansed your face and neck.
Vit. C Ampoules in Use
Each of the golden ampoules is air tight to help keep the formula as potent as possible. Due to the ingredients, you do find that it tingles a bit at first you use, however it isn’t a bad feeling and it is all to do with that Ascorbic Acid doing its work. It shows that the product is working!
You use this one in the same way as the Vit A ampoules – lightly apply the serum from the ampoule on cleansed face and neck at night.
I personally found it left my skin feeling really soft, probably due to the Dimethicone Crosspolymer and was the perfect base for makeup or more skincare to be put on top of. What’s more, it is completely paraben free!
If you fancy trying Skin Doctors Potent Vitamin C Ampoules for yourself you can buy them from the Skin Doctors website where they come in at £39.99 for 50 capsules.
Skin Doctors Vit. A Ampoules
Moving from day to night, we change from Vitamin C to Vitamin A (retinol). This time the ampoules are blue in colour (no getting them mixed up if your half asleep). This time you are getting a shot of pure Vitamin A retinol for your skin with a 15% concentration level. The Skin Doctors Vitamin A Ampoules use a slow release technology – the patented Microsponge® – to help minimise any irritation to the skin, targeting the signs of ageing like wrinkles and fine lines too. This particular serum is said to work deep in the skin, helping repair skin cells, stimulate new cell growth and increase cell turnover as well as improving uneven skin tone.
Like the Vit. C capsules these also contain Dimethicone Crosspolymer leaving the same silky smooth feeling to your skin that you get with the day capsules. The pot contains 50 ampoules.
Vit. A Ampoules in Use
The capsules themselves are for both almost identical bar the colour. However, unlike the Vit. C capsules I didn’t feel a tingling sensation when applying these (however as it is a retinal product you may find it does cause redness and tingling depending on your skin). Just make sure you don’t use directly on your eyes or on eyelids.
I have to admit I started using these first and hadn’t looked into the ingredients fully and so was surprised by how soft it left my skin feeling. It really is a lovely base to work with and any moisturiser I put on after glided onto the skin.
If you want to try Skin Doctors Potent Vit A Ampoules they can be bought from the Skin Doctors website where they come in at £39,99 for 50 capsules.
Final thoughts
I found it so simple to use and making sure you use the correct amount is simple thanks to the use of single shot ampoules. They are said to be best used straight after cleansing the skin, onto dry skin, application is best done by lightly tapping the skin. However please be aware the Vit A. capsules do need to be kept away from the eye area.
Overall I am really impressed with both of the Potent Vit. range. They definitely work best when used at the time same and seem to include ingredients that work, with my skin.
Do you think the Potent Vit. range from Skin Doctors is something you would like to try?

Loving all the benefits and nutrients of this ampoules and I like the fact that they’re single shot. It makes it easy and convenient to use. Would love to try them!
It really does and it feels so much nicer putting something on your skin you haven’t had your fingers in before.
Looks like a great product, anything vitamin C is oh so good for the skin. Thanks for sharing.
They really are, it’s good to help your skin to some things you need!
Winter is so cold and dry in Canada. Having a great product to help you protect your skin is a must. Definitely will give this cream some consideration.
It is the same here, and the heating is so drying as well, always worth having something to pep up your skin.
I’ve never heard of these products before, but it feels like something that my skin would thank me for.
It really will do (or at least mine did) they are so nice.
These Vit C ampoules sounds good. Winter skin is so harsh and my skin is so dry.
They really are good, work wonders on your skin as well.
These sound great, I recently tried some new skincare and it gave me a terrible reaction. It basically stripped all the moisture from my skin so hearing these left your skin feeling so soft makes me want to give them a try
Oh no that isn’t good at all, I’ve had the same thing happen myself before and it left my skin so sore. I hope your skin recovers soon.
oh these sound so interesting! My skin is feeling so dry with the winter it defo needs a boost! x
They are a really good idea, definitely worth a try if your skins going through the winter blues!
These sound lovely. I am going to need to try some out ASAP! My skin has been in a funk recently.
Winter is so harsh on the skin isn’t it 🙁
This sounds awesome for the skin. Thanks for sharing!
I like when I can care for my skin in a very simple way. These products seem super awesome. Thanks so much for sharing!
I am the same I don’t have the patience to sit for hours with masks on I like it quick and simple for sure.
It can be so hard to find the perfect skin care routine but these sound like something I need to try. I am always looking to revamp my routine and I will be excited to give these a try.

I am the same I love trying new serums and creams always fun to see what will happen.
I am always looking for easy ways to take care of my skin. These look like something that are easy and I would be willing and able to keep up with in my regimen.
They are definitely easy, it’s a single “use” so just break it open and slap it on – no waste!
I would try the Vit. C Ampoules because of the tingling sensation. I just love products that give off that sensation because somehow I feel that they are doing their job
It is interesting how that is often the case for people, like I like my shower gel to foam haha!
I love the concept of skincare in ampoules. In french, this word actually stands for light bulb, so it’s like having light in a capsule for your skin!
Oh wow I didn’t know that (learn something new everyday as they say).
I’ve never heard of this products before. I was really interested to learn more about them though because I have such sensitive, dry skin. I’d love to try them and see if it could make my skin look and feel healthier.
They are well worth trying – they have worked well for me and I do have sensitive skin.
Thanks for introducing me to this product line. I will be on the lookout for it as it sounds like it would compliment my facial routine.
I hope you really like it if you decide to give it a try 🙂
Nice review. Skin care is something not many people do, and we moms often tend to left our self-care aside, but this is really important in order to keep us healthy. The Vit. A sounds like something I would love to try!
I have to admit I go through phases and can at times be so bad at it.
I swear if you don’t take care of your skin… I don’t know what to say. But I love skin care tips!
Most definitely skin care is a must, though I admit sometimes I’m not the best at keeping on top of it.
The Vit. A sounds like something I would love to try! My skin is certainly changing as I am getting older and I could use a little help taking care of myself.
It is well worth giving a try both of them, I guess it would be nice to get a smaller mixed pack to try to start you off.
I have such bad skin that I am always open to trying out new products in hopes of stabilizing my weary skin. Will definitely look into the ampoules.
I am the same I’ve had spots for over 20 years now and it’s like wHY WONT YOU JUST GO AWAY. So I love trying different things in the hopes they help. Luckily of late I’ve not had 1/2 as many.
This sounds like a really great brand! I will definitely be looking into this. Skincare is so important.
Skin Doctors are an awesome brand they offer so many different items.
I had no idea what these were before I read your post. I still don’t really know how you would use them. It’s good that they make your skin so soft.
You basically just pull the top of the capsule off and apply as you would any other serums, it’s a serum in single-use capsules 🙂
I have never heard of these, and to be honest I have never used anything that comes out of a capsule. I need to look more into them.
Hands up I’ve always stayed away as I thought on the whole it would mean you need to take it orally or something, I feel a bit silly now.
Skincare is important. I always try to make sure I don’t skip my daily skincare routine.
It really is important, I have to admit I neglected my skin for a long time and only now really am I trying to get as on top of it as much as I can.
Taking care of my skin is my goal ever since I hit 40s. I can see more and more lines as I age and taking vitamins really healps.
I hope you find the things that help you take care of your skin as easily as possible.
