The range of skincare products on the market is wide and varied as are product prices, but the aim of all is ultimately the same; to make the skin appear more youthful. Who doesn’t dream of having younger looking skin?
Some products work and some don’t. I have in the past been disappointed with a handful of products that I have bought especially when I have spent a pretty penny only to find they don’t do anything even when the sales person has sworn blind they do. I remember buying a serum a few years back for over £100 and it did nothing at all, not a sausage. Of course not impressed by the misinformation or the fact I could have bought some boots with that I never featured them on my blog – why would I!
One company that has never steered me wrong is Skin Doctors. Recently I discovered they had two NEW products available and was really excited when they asked me to review these for them.
I was sent a pack of both the Skin Doctors Day Ampoules and Night Ampoules to experiment with. Each jar cost £39.99 and contains 50 measured doses. A quick google search lead me to discover I could get the pair for £45 which is a great saving!
Skin Doctors Day and Night Ampoules are capsules that are easy to open and use. You simply twist off the top, apply the serum to the skin then apply your moisturiser and wait for your skin to start improving and this really doesn’t take long at all. The great thing is they don’t add much time to your pre-existing daily routine and the serum is really fast acting too. You will also be pleased to hear they are paraben free.
I gave the ampoules a go and on initial use I noticed that they were quickly absorbed into my skin and the skin felt increasingly silky smooth on each application. The product was absorbed easily into the skin with no oily residue and on each day I used these my skin felt much softer than it did prior to the initial application. Within 5 days my skin looked brighter and this was even more obvious by day 7. My skin continued to improve and I had developed a gorgeous healthy, plump, glowing skin in record speed.
I am overly observant when it comes to these sorts of things but I was amazed at the results of the contents of these teeny tiny ampoules. The product has been well thought out. The product is easy to use and each ampoule contains a fresh daily dose as it is airtight and isn’t transparent thus preventing exposure to air and light which would otherwise denature the contents and affect their efficacy.
A quick tip: if you are using these. Make sure you also squeeze the small top of ampoules so you don’t miss any of the product.
Skin Doctors Day Ampoules (Gold)
10% concentrated dose of pure Vitamin C
These are infused with “potent vitamin C” (ascorbic acid) which some may be aware is a powerful antioxidant. Antioxidants fight free radicals which are formed by the body when food is broken down to form energy. Antioxidants are great at helping fight the signs of ageing as they destroy free radicals (free radicals break down collagen resulting in a loss of elasticity and wrinkle formation) so it makes sense to incorporate them into this sort of product to stimulate skin regeneration and help give the skin a more youthful appearance.
Studies have shown that this fabulous vitamin may also be able to help in the prevention and treatment of UV damage. Vitamin C is also vital for collagen. As we age our bodies produce less collagen so a boost can really make a significant difference to the skins appearance making it look smoother and much more supple.
The combination of ingredients in these ampoules make the skin look brighter, firmer, plumper, wrinkles look less defined and the skin feel softer and smoother.
Skin Doctors Night Ampoules (Blue)
15% dose of pure Vitamin A
These are infused with “potent vitamin A” (Retinol) another antioxidant that packs a punch. Numerous tests have been carried out and show this to be effective at restoring an even skin tone, improving the appearance of the skin making it look smoother, younger and reducing the appearance of wrinkles. This is a “must use” for anyone age 30 or over. As retinol is photosensitive (it reacts in sunlight) it is used in products targeted for use at night. Basically whilst you sleep this super antioxidant works to give the skin a more youthful appearance including a gorgeously healthy glow. This product also contains Microsponge® slow-release technology to enhance its stability and deliver the active ingredient efficiently to minimise irritation.
My Findings
My deeper wrinkles were still there when I finished using the whole sample. But who knows with continued use what might have happened. There was a marked difference in my skins appearance. It was brighter, plumper, with a healthy glow, small creases were not so obvious. I had numerous complements about how fabulous my skin looked.
I can wholeheartedly say that these products performed a miracle on my skin.
Would The Results Be The Same If Just The Day Or Night Time Ampoules Were Used?
I appreciate that the cost might put some readers off. But, in comparison to some products, these are not expensive especially when you weigh up the results. After you’re trying these any concerns will simply disappear as you see the results in a short space of time.
These products could be used individually. But for faster and better results I would personally advise using both (from my experience). The product really worked well when both day and night time samples were used. Each works slightly differently too which backs up the argument for using both day and night ampoules.

My main skin concern is dryness especially my face.
This is quite a common concern especially now it’s cold with all the central heating. A combination of great skincare, water and healthy eating can help 🙂
I’m concerned about the bags under my eyes from not sleeping very well and also small patches of dry skin.
I have very dry skin unfortunately!
Look into eating good fats and increasing your water intake as you might find that this helps.
These look and sound great! My main concerns are dry cheeks and hormonal breakouts. I’ve been wanting to incorporate Vitamin C into my skincare routine.
This is a great way for you to do that daily.
since hitting 40, i am so concerned about aging, i try my best to take care of myself x
interesting i have never tried serums before
You will be pleasantly surprised at how well this one works.
my skin is sensitive and prone to dryness
I love your competitions and this one is fab too….many thanks
i have very sensitive skin so i always find it hard to find products to suit my skin but this product sounds like it might be good.
I would give it a try. This companies products are always great and I’ve never had any problems.
I have very sensitive skin, so it can get blotchy and patchy at times
I’m not sure the product would help with this not having had it myself. It really does give the skin a more youthful glow.
I always have dry skin no matter what moisturiser I use!
Getting older – wrinkles and dry skin so using a serum can only be of benefit
When it comes to my skin, dry and ageing are my main concerns….
I have dry and dehydrated skin with the start of fine lines (I’m now 31 so this is a major concern). I often feel my skin isn’t very bright or radiant either. But overall, I try and look after it as best as I can.
My main skin concern is sun damage – I wish I knew then what I know now!
If only this was highlighted to us all when we were younger.
Fine lines around my eyes and dull looking skin
Those are a nuisance. You will find that your skin looks far brighter within about a week of using these 🙂
I would love to win this, my skin concerns now that I am the wrong side of 45 are that I have lines and wrinkles and need a lot of help lol!
For me it has to be the fact that i suffer from dry skin it is slightly irritating
I can imagine. Your water intake can make a difference.
Would love to try this.
I’d love you to try it – it’s really good I’ve been telling everyone about it x
i still have bad acne at times even though i thought i would have grown out of it by now
I noticed that mine was affected by diet and stress as well as skin products. Increase your water intake and cut down on saturated fats and on sugar and you should notice an improvement. Stress can also be a factor so try to find activities you enjoy doing. Good luck x
I am getting red blotches by face especially when the central heating as been on. I can control the temperature at my house but not at others!
I want great looking skin
Try this and you’ll be amazed at how great your skin will look xx
I mainly suffer from rather tired looking and sallow skin
These serums can really help with that and give you a gorgeous healthy glow x
Would like to rehydrate my skin and give it a healthy glow.
This will definitely make it look healthy x
I have dry sensitive skin prone to redness.
Redness and a bit of oiliness!
Oiliness can be affected by make up and face creams It might be an idea to look at foundations that give a matte finish for example.
The start of fine lines and wrinkles for me – not horrendous yet, but I’ve started being more careful about sunscreen!
Glad you are being careful. I always use a factor 50 all year round. I know I will be pleased I did when I’m 50 odd.
I’m starting to get some lines and wrinkles but still have the odd breakout around my chin
Dry skin and dark circles around my eyes.
My dry skin is a concern, it lacks what it needs
My main skin concern at the moment is dryness, and dull looking skin. I do find increasing healthy fats helps, and lots and lots of night creams!
Your diet can make a big difference to the appearance of your skin.
Mine is quite dry at the moment , maybe its all the cold weather
My main skin concern is blemishes, I went through my teenage years virtually without a spot, now I’m in my 40’s my complexion is terrible!
concerned about dry skin and wrinkles and also bags under the eyes
My skin is loosing its elasticity
I’m sure with the serum you will see an improvement.
Yes to vitamin C for skin, even when we eat it we don’t store it so it’s important to get enough. My skin is a bit tired, these little pods might do the trick.
I have really dehydrated skin under my eyes and an oily T-zone
My main concerns are dullness and ageing – really loving the sound of these, especially as they are measured doses, such a great idea
It is a great idea as it makes it so easy to use.
I suffer from a bit of dry skin….I would love to give this a try.
I have some deep wrinkles that need some tlc
im worried about dry dehydrated skin and fine lines around my eyes
They are common concerns but fine lines can actually see an improvement with this serum.

Thanks for your comment Lynda. I’m sure you would find the serum beneficial.
My skin concerns are dry skin and spots! This sounds wonderful!
It really is an amazing product.
I have sensitive super dry mature skin.
Good skin care can help as well as keeping hydrated and having a diet rich in good fats.
My concerns are acne and dark circles and puffiness under my eyes xx
Very common complaints. This will make a difference with the puffiness for certain.
I am approaching the big 3-0. So my main concern is ageing. Those fine line and wrinkles are starting to appear.
I have really annoying combinations skin, I have a very oily T-zone but I also get dry patched on my cheeks and above my eyebrows, most days I can’t wear any kind of foundation or even BB cream or tinted moisturizer, I spent time looking for some kind, any kind of product that would help but I’ve basically given up now.
I don’t worry much about my skin, smile and people won’t notice, or at least won’t comment on it. Redness and chapping in winter maybe.
I’m concerned about the dark rings developing around the eyes
My main concern is dry skin, especially after a winter of biting winds and overheated offices
My skin is starting to show first wrinkles… I quess I am getting older.
These you will find can help delay the appearance. Enjoy x
My skin isn’t very hydrated and always quite dry
My main concerns are lack of radiance and fine lines
The serums are perfect for these. I noticed a marked difference.
The main issue for me is my skin is normally great (unless it’s the dreaded time of the month) but the closer I get to my hairline, the drier and flakier my skin becomes not just on the scalp
Unfortunately I have a whole list of issues from dark circles, aging lines and uneven skin tone to oily skin, large pores and prone to spots even now at my age! ?
id have patches of both dry and oily skin and a prone to break outs
Just that it’s dry, old and wrinkly but my mam and dad had and have respectivley lots of wrinkles so I have a feeling it is genetic. Can but try to improve it though.

These are your miracle or at least the scientific breakthrough you’re looking for. Make sure you try them you’ll be astounded at good they are.

The ampoules are great for making it look more youthful and giving it a lovely glow.
My skin concerns are dry skin and the ever dreaded acne!
I always thought my spot-prone skin would clear up before I had to worry about wrinkles. Now I need to find an anti-wrinkle cream for teenagers’ skin!
Oh dear it sounds like you have quite a bit to deal with there. At least with these the wrinkles won’t look so bad x
My skin always looks dull and tired and especially in the winter
A common problem yet one that can be easily rectified with these ampoules x

I definitely have combination skin with a red tone. This product looks very luxurious!
My most pressing skin concern is dryness and a taught feeling if I do not use moisturiser. I am also trying to protect against sun damage and fine lines.
Skin naturally gets dryer as you get older. This can be counterbalanced through diet and good skin care products.
I find as I get older the elasticity of my skin is fading.
That’s normal. The serums work to help fight against sagging and plump up the skin.
I find as I get older the elasticity of my skin is fading
My main skin concern is combination skin and I have had trouble finding a moisturiser that can tackle the visible patches of dry, scaly skin and the oily patches that I seem to have on my nose, chin and forehead.

I have very dry skin on my forehead that gets itchy and sore
Large pores, oily skin, fine lines round my eyes

My skin sometimes feels a bit dry, I am using lots of moisturiser at the moment.
