What is the difference between ampoule and serum?

Hello everyone! Recently I heard a lot about ampoule in K-beauty but I don't know what is the difference between ampoule and serum. Are they the same product? Should I use before or after serum application?

Ampoules are considered as a concentrated (formulated with a higher concentration of active ingredients) version of serums!

Tbh there's not much of a difference between the two. Marketing has made us believe that ampoules are more concentrated than serums when in fact some serums contain even higher % of actives than certain ampoules. The key for not getting confused is to learn to read the concenctrations/dosages/% of ingredients. Because of this information that ampoules are "more concentrated" than serums, brands have a way to charge ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ’ธ๐Ÿ’ธ for ampoules (marketing).

I think toner is different to ampoule because toner is for hydrating/refreshing skin so in this case toner needs to be before of a serum/ampoule ๐Ÿค—โค
