   I was quite surprised by its silicone texture the first time I used it. Scent smells like men deodorant. Lol. But applies like a dream, absorbs immediately . Leaves skin so smooth. Been through 14 ampoules in about a Wk (day and night) so far no breakouts or sensitivity. Just don’t rly notice skin being extra hydrated or bright or plump looking. Not sure about whether I will repurchase but it is an interesting product

   I’m only on my fifth day of this but noticed significant features of it that I wanted to review.

   I’ve been looking for something with either hyaluron or glycerin to layer under my products and hopefully avoid having to massage in my custom oil blend in the morning. I started at the bottom of the price ladder (this was around five or six euros I think, for seven ampules) to avoid potentially tossing out a hefty sum. That might have been a mistake.

   This didn’t feel like it moisturized significantly until day four, and it definitely felt more moisturizing under day cream than on it’s own. Good, I thought, as I intended to layer. After the first three uses I noticed a very decent moisturizing effect that, under my cream, lasted. My skin was still dewy in the evening.

   Although the packaging says it’s a lifting treatment i’m not sure it lifts, can’t really tell, and was looking to moisturize anyway, and after a few days, it did that.

   But I also noticed a lot of redness upon application, especially on my forehead, brow area, sides of the nose, chin and neck (so, everywhere). My skin was super red. I thought it possible I had cleansed too vigorously prior and took note to be gentler next time, but the same happened. The redness did go away after a while for me, but I find it quite worrisome as I imagine it could be a lot worse on especially sensitive skin. I want to emphasize I haven’t reacted to a product with redness in about fifteen years, so my skin isn’t sensitive in that way. For those who have this happen more easily, I’d be concerned they could get a serious reaction. I tried it again and although the redness went away, my skin feels burned. Yikes. Tossing this one out.

   I did get three breakouts. Not huge cysts, treating them hasn’t been too difficult. But I was hoping to get none as i’ve avoided them well for a long time. I can only link them to the product as I only get them from products, not food, not hormones, etc.

   The packaging is thin cardboard and the layers of it feel annoying (until I figured out it opens like a book, du-uh), but it keeps the ampules securely in place. I’ve handled enough ampules to know how to break them properly, but I don’t find them ideal because if you drop one it’s a messy clean up and those unaccustomed to them might get tiny slivers in their fluid upon cracking them open.

   The fluid is a bit like a runny gel, but it doesn’t leave a residue on the skin that peels when you layer other stuff on. Absorbs quickly. Mild scent that dissipates soon.

   Due to the redness, burning, and pimples I won’t repurchase and can’t really recommend for fear it’d cause more severe irritation for some.

   But, testing with a cheaper product first at least showed me I’d probably like the effects of a hyaluron product that didn’t irritate, so i’ll be looking for that next. I wish I knew what ingredient irritated my skin (suspect butylene glycol). Am including a snapshot of the ingredients in case the savvy folk can recognize something they like to avoid.

   I think the Balea ampoules are great!

   I have very sensitive dry skin and I use them as a 7-day intensive treatment. The texture is so light, it quickly absorbs into the skin immediately making it perfectly moisturized, soft, smooth and glowing!
   You can use these ampoules as a 7-day intensive treatment (as I usually do) or just use one ampoule if you need an immediate beauty effect for a special event.

   As the product can’t be purchased in the USA, I purchase the Balea ampoules at European online store getsomebeauty.com. The price is about $35 for 28 ampoules. Highly recommended.
