I received this product for free from Picky and CNP Laboratory in exchange for my honest review.
The CNP Laboratory Derma+ Answer Pink Toning Deep InShot Ampule features 50,000+ Hyalu-Spicules that boosts the penetration of the PDRN & Pink Toning Skin active ingredients into the skin. PDRN is extracted from salmon DNA and helps promote collagen production, improve skin elasticity & reduce signs of aging. CNP’s patented Pink Toning features Tranexamic Acid, Vitamin B12 & Niacinamide to help reduce dark spots, brighten skin & provide blemish care.
Spicules are a needle-like microscopic particle derived from marine sponges that enhances the effect of your other skin products by penetrating the top layers of the skin. (Like natural version of micro needling). These spicules are infused with micro Hyaluronic Acid to help keep skin moisturized.
If you haven’t tried a product with spicules before, you will feel a tingling or burning sensation so beginners should patch test and then start out using once per week.
I’ve been using this ampule both AM & PM for about 2 1/2 weeks, as I regularly use another brand featuring spicules in a stronger concentration. The ampule comes in a 30ml pink bottle with dropper and has a floral scent. It is a pale pink color, with a lightweight, slightly watery texture that looks clear on the skin.
I apply 2 pumps from the dropper to apply on my face and neck after applying my toner/essence. I notice a mild tingling sensation as I pat it into my skin. But it absorbs quickly without any stickiness or irritation.
My skin feels moisturized and hydrated after using, and it works well with the rest of my skincare routine. I suggest waiting for the ampule to completely dry before applying moisturizer though, or you might feel some prickliness from the remaining spicules.
The brand claims that this ampule will brighten and reduce dark spots in 2 weeks. I can see that the ampule does a good job brightening my skin and improving skin texture, as it appears more glowing & hydrated without any irritation. I will probably continue using this in the AM and my other Spicule serum in the evening as I am liking the results. This ampule can be purchased on Amazon (although currently out of stock) for $30.
