Axis-Y Artichoke Intensive Skin Barrier Ampoule [30ml]

This ampoule was formulated directly in response to feedback from AXIS-Y's global community — real people with real skin concerns. What sets it apart is its high-concentration 10,000ppm Artichoke Extract, combined with a comprehensive botanical complex including 50,000ppm Centella Asiatica, Hawkweed (extracted via ultrasonic method to preserve bioactivity), Licorice Root, Aloe, and Kelp. The result is a multi-functional, barrier-focused formula that addresses hydration, resilience, and visible clarity in a single, lightweight step.

Yes — the Artichoke Intensive Skin Barrier Ampoule is specifically designed with sensitive and reactive skin types in mind. It is hypoallergenic, alcohol-free, and has received low-irritant certification through dermatological testing. The formula is also vegan and cruelty-free, making it a conscious choice for those who need gentle yet effective barrier support.

Clinical results indicate visible improvements in hydration and skin smoothness can be observed with consistent use. A 20% reduction in the appearance of dark spots and an 18% increase in radiance were recorded after 4 weeks of regular application. For best results, incorporate the ampoule into both your morning and evening routines and use it daily.

Apply the ampoule after cleansing and toning, and before your moisturiser and sunscreen. Its fast-absorbing, lightweight texture layers seamlessly under other products without pilling or interference. It works well within both minimalist and multi-step routines, and pairs effectively with complementary AXIS-Y products such as barrier-supporting moisturisers and protective SPF formulas.

Hawkweed (Hieracium Umbellatum) Extract is a botanical ingredient extracted using an ultrasonic extraction method, which preserves its active compounds more effectively than conventional techniques. Rich in antioxidants and known for its anti-inflammatory properties, Hawkweed supports skin comfort and resilience. In this upgraded formula, the concentration of Hawkweed Extract has been doubled to enhance its skin-soothing and protective benefits.

Yes — the Artichoke Intensive Skin Barrier Ampoule is well-suited for use alongside actives, and is particularly beneficial for those whose skin barrier may be under stress from exfoliants, retinoids, or environmental aggressors. Its soothing botanical complex helps to maintain skin comfort and balance during active-heavy routines. As always, we recommend introducing any new product gradually and performing a patch test, especially if your skin is currently sensitised.
