I used to think it didn’t matter which cleanser you used, since its only purpose was to wash dirt off your face. Of course, I know better now. Which cleanser you choose is extremely important for your skin type, because picking the wrong one will do more harm than good. If you’ve ever experienced your cleanser severely drying out your skin, then you’ll want to read more about my experience with the Miraecle Brightening Ampoule Cleanser.
Ampoule and cleanser—in the same sentence
When I first came across this product, I wasn’t sure what an ampoule cleanser meant—was it an ampoule or a cleanser? Well, with Korean skincare brand Miraecle, two things can be true at once. This cleanser is packed with all the nourishing skincare ingredients anyone needs: nano-tranexamic acid, Niacinamide, Glutathione, and Vitamin C. Together, these help promote a brighter, clearer, and healthier-looking complexion. Its surfactant-free, dye-free and hypoallergenic formula is gentle enough for daily use, making it suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
But it’s in a cleanser, so won’t it just wash away? I hear you ask. That’s a common misconception about cleansers. However, a good moisturising cleanser will not only cleanse your skin but also leave it feeling supple. That’s how I felt with the Miraecle Brightening Ampoule Cleanser. It goes on as an oil, which initially made me brace for that usual post-cleanse film. But not this one—this Brightening Ampoule Cleanser transforms into a soft foam that lifts away makeup, sunscreen, and the day’s grime without that squeaky, over-cleansed feeling. As someone with combination skin, my oilier T-zone felt properly cleansed, but my drier patches on the cheek don’t feel dried out.
Going back to the formulation, Miraecle uses a patented delivery technology designed to get the brightening properties further into the skin during the cleansing step rather than after. This paves the way for your following skincare products—like serums—to work better after. Each bottle of Brightening Ampoule Cleanser is matured through a proprietary oil-blending process consisting of over 1,000 hours to build that foam without using traditional surfactants. That’s important, because it means your skin won’t dry out after using it.
Post-use thoughts
I’m only a few weeks into using this, so I’m not going to tell you my skin has been transformed overnight. However, I will say that my complexion looks brighter than usual, and my skin feels comfortable—a sign that my skin barrier isn’t acting up. I look forward to finishing this product and seeing how my skin looks and feels by the end of the bottle.
