Scinic All in One Honey Ampoule review

I´ve been using the Scinic All in One Ampoule for 3 months. It contains all the honey goodness with 90% honey extract plus royal jelly and propolis extract. Also niacninamide and adenosine which are both good for whitening.



Packaging: It comes in a semi-trasparent caramel colored 250 ml bottle with a plastic screw-on cap and a small white spoon (not pictured) for scooping the product out.

Smell: It has a sweet scent, but for me it smells only a little like honey and more like caramel.

Application: I just immerse the spoon once for my face or twice if I want to cover my neck too. I use it after any toner or essence but before creams.

Pro tip: Put it on right before sheet masking, it will help with absorption.

Effectiveness: It´s good for brightening the skin tone, but I´m not sure how effective it is against PIH scars. Nevertheless it´s a good moisturiser for normal and oily skinned people. Might not cut it alone for dry skin.

After it dries it leaves the surface of your skin a bit sticky to the touch, but that can be expected from a honey product. It´s not an issue when I use another cream on top.
Although it´s an all in one ampoule I wouldn´t leave out my toners and essences that I have for a specific function (like anti-acne and so). But it´s a nice addition for layering and moisturizing.
Also it didn´t break me out, but everyone´s skin may react differently.

I´ve bought mine from Jolse (with their frequent sales the price can vary).
The price and the amount you get makes this a really good deal for a good product. I have still half the bottle left after 3 month of use and I´ve decanted 50ml for my sister too.
Since buying this I´ve also acquired the Scinic Snail All in One Ampoule so look out for a review.

    1. Hi! Thank you for your comment.
      I´m almost at the end of that jar too, but I have to say I didn´t like it as much.
      It has an overwhelming floral scent to it. Also this in addition to Vitamin C was the cause of horrible break out/rashes I had around the new year. (My fault completely, I put this right after the Vitamin C, didn´t even wiped that off and put on a sheet mask. I read everywhere that Vit.C can react badly with niacinamide but I wasn´t careful enough...) My skin was sensitive to this for a great while and the smell also reminds me of that time. Now I can use it, but I definitely won´t repurchase.
      Also, when trying to gift decants to my friends everyone brought it back because they broke out from it.
      All in all, initially I didn´t have any bad reaction to it but now it´s a chore to finish it.
