SKIN1004 MADAGASCAR CENTELLA HYALU-CICA SLEEPING PACK 100ML

100% Genuine — every unit sold by Adilsons is sourced through authorized Korean distribution. Cruelty-Free / Vegan (Brand-Wide)* — SKIN1004 appears on PETA's own published "Beauty Without Bunnies" database, checked directly against the certifier's listing rather than the brand's own claim. FA-Conditional* — the ingredient list contains two fatty-acid-ester emulsifiers with a mixed fungal-acne track record.

*Cruelty-free/vegan is a brand-wide certification, not a per-SKU one. SKIN1004 also sells through Tmall in mainland China, where post-market animal testing can legally apply; cross-border e-commerce sales may be exempt, but which channel supplies any given Adilsons unit has not been confirmed. FA-Conditional is explained fully in the Sensory and Ingredient Transparency sections below.

If your skin has felt reactive, tight, or "raw" after actives, a Centella-forward overnight pack like this is often the calmest thing you can put on it. Pros: single-step PM addition, no rinsing, three hyaluronic acid molecular weights for layered hydration, sits within a large in-catalog Hyalu-Cica sub-line for easy pairing. Caveats: no brand-published pH or active-percentage figures exist publicly; contains two olive-derived emulsifiers that are fungal-acne-conditional, not flatly safe.

Mauritius heat and humidity keep sebum and sweat moving across the skin most of the day — that surface film is your skin doing its job, not dirt. Washing more than twice daily strips the acid mantle (target pH roughly 4.5-5.5), and skin responds by overproducing sebum to compensate, which is the exact oiliness people are usually trying to wash away.

This product sits on the other side of that cycle: it is a barrier-repair-tagged overnight leave-on meant to stay in place rather than be rinsed, so it does not contribute to over-stripping. Centella Asiatica's triterpenoid compounds (madecassoside, asiaticoside) have a long traditional and emerging research base for supporting a compromised barrier, which is the mechanism this product is leaning on rather than active exfoliation.

Classification: GREEN (generally suitable for all ages, with normal adult supervision for anyone under 12 applying any skincare). Niacinamide and Adenosine are present but at concentrations that were not brand-disclosed; neither retinoids, AHA/BHA exfoliants, high-percentage Vitamin C, nor benzoyl peroxide are named anywhere in the retrieved ingredient list, and the packaging is not youth-marketed.

Compatibility checklist:

• Bedside-compatible (no sink needed) — yes
• Requires rinsing — no
• Requires precise dosage — no
• Usable with unwashed hands in a pinch — yes, though clean hands are ideal
• Requires a wait time before bed — a short one if the texture feels tacky
• Can it be a single-product PM routine — yes

On a burnout night, this qualifies for a bare-bones routine: cleanse (or skip once if skin tolerates it), pat this on, sleep. If gel-creams feel tacky against your pillowcase, apply it 10-15 minutes before lying down.

Step 1 — When: PM only, as the final or near-final step of your night routine. Step 2 — How much: pea-to-grape-size, adjusted to surface area covered. Step 3 — How: pat/press gently into slightly damp skin, after your other PM products, on a face without open lesions or active irritation.

The one rule: Introduce this as the ONLY new product in your routine. Wait a full 14 days before adding anything else. This isolation window ensures you can identify whether any reaction is caused by this specific product.

This is a PM product and is not part of a morning sequence. No confirmed photosensitizing ingredient was found in the retrieved list, but because it is formulated for uninterrupted overnight contact, save it for night and use a dedicated daytime moisturizer plus SPF in the morning.

SPF mandate: whatever hydration this pack delivers overnight is undone by unprotected daytime UV exposure — follow it the next morning with a broad-spectrum SPF such as the SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum 50ml, which shares this product's hero-ingredient line.

1. Cleanse (oil cleanser first if wearing SPF/makeup, then a water-based cleanser)
2. Toner/essence layers as tolerated
3. Any treatment serum
4. Moisturizer if your skin needs one underneath
5. SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Sleeping Pack as the final leave-on layer, patted in
6. Optional spot treatment on active blemishes only

Skin cycling integration: this product carries no confirmed exfoliating or retinoid-strength active, so it can be used nightly and fits well on the Recovery nights of a 4-night cycle (Exfoliation / Retinoid / Recovery / Recovery) if you also run a stronger active elsewhere in your routine.

Technique: pat/press, do not rub — friction degrades gel-cream formulas and increases irritation risk on already-sensitized skin. Required skin state: slightly damp is ideal, since the three hyaluronic acid forms draw in surrounding moisture more effectively than on bone-dry skin.

Wait time: allow 1-2 minutes before pulling on a pillowcase if the texture feels tacky. Hands vs cotton pad: use hands — hands deliver 100% of the product, while cotton pads absorb roughly 30-40% before it ever reaches your skin.

This is an encyclopedia map of all product types. You do not use all of these daily. You select modules based on your skin state.

Global rules: apply thinnest to thickest, water-phase before oil-phase, treatments before seals. Default wait times: watery layers 10-20s, serums 30-60s, sunscreen 10-15 min before sun/makeup. Default amounts: toner/essence 5-8 drops per layer; serum/ampoule 2-3 drops or 1 pump; eye product ½ rice-grain per eye; gel moisturizer 1-1.5 peas, cream 1-2 peas; occlusive seal rice-grain to pea-size; sunscreen the 2-finger rule for the face. Hydrators sit best on slightly damp skin; if a routine pills, stings, or feels heavy, reduce layers rather than adding more.

AM Maximum Stack: (1) rinse/gentle cleanse (optional), (2) pH-prep toner (optional), (3) hydrating toner layers, (4) essence, (5) mist, (6) soothing serum, (7) one antioxidant product, (8) one pigment-support product, (9) hydration serum, (10) one sebum-regulating product, (11) peptide/repair serum, (12) eye product, (13) moisturizer, (14) optional occlusive seal, (15) sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ (non-negotiable), (16) lip SPF. In AM, prioritize comfort and SPF adherence over stacking — in high humidity, fewer layers often perform better.

PM Maximum Stack: (1) micellar pre-cleanse (optional), (2) oil cleanser/balm if wearing SPF or makeup, (3) water cleanser, (4) pH-prep toner, (5) hydrating toner layers, (6) essence, (7) soothing/barrier serum, (8) anchor treatment, (9) targeted serum if not conflicting, (10) moisturizer, (11) sleeping mask — this product's usual slot, (12) occlusive seal (optional), (13) spot treatment as needed, (14) lip sleeping mask. Do not layer retinoids with AHA/BHA in the same night; keep one active lane per night.

Lane strictness: Retinoid OR Exfoliation OR Strong Vitamin C OR Acne-control active — pick one per routine; barrier and hydration steps like this pack can always accompany whichever lane you're running. If unsure, default to the safest lane (barrier/hydration) and reduce layers.

Tier: medium gel-cream — thicker than a serum or essence, generally thinner than a rich night cream, consistent with retailer descriptions of a "lightweight gel" texture. Layering rule: apply after your thinner watery/serum layers and after your regular moisturizer, since it is designed as the final overnight seal.

Phase compatibility: water-phase emulsion (the Cetearyl Olivate / Sorbitan Olivate pairing is a plant-derived emulsifier system) — apply before any pure facial oil, if you use one, since oils go last in a layering sequence.

Prerequisites: none beyond a normal cleanse-and-hydrate PM routine.

Primary target: overnight barrier comfort and surface hydration, consistent with this product's catalog tags (Barrier Repair, Soothing) and its Centella + tri-hyaluronic-acid formula. Secondary benefit: Niacinamide is included, which — at a functional-cosmetic concentration, not independently confirmed here — is associated with reduced melanosome transfer (fading, not lightening, dark marks) and modest sebum regulation.

What this product cannot do: it cannot physically shrink pores, cannot lift or firm sagging skin, and its Niacinamide/Adenosine content is not confirmed at a clinically-dosed level, so it should not be relied on as your dedicated brightening or anti-aging treatment if that is your primary goal — a purpose-built serum with a confirmed concentration is the more direct tool for that.

1. SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica First Ampoule 50ml — same hero-ingredient line, applied as a PM treatment serum before this pack seals it in. Use PM, 2-3 drops, before this product.

2. SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Brightening Toner 30ml — a hydrating toner step from the same sub-line to prep skin before this pack. Use PM, 5-8 drops, earlier in the routine.

3. SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam 125ml — a gentle water cleanser from the same Centella-based house formula, so your PM routine doesn't strip what this pack is trying to restore. Use PM, before toner/serum steps.

4. SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum 50ml — the AM counterpart in the same line, so overnight barrier support isn't undone by unprotected daytime UV. Use AM, after moisturizer.

Pilling pairs: layering this under or over another thick, film-forming cream on the same night can pill. Apply this product as the last layer only, on slightly damp skin, and reduce the amount of any other rich product used alongside it that night.

Chronic stress elevates cortisol, which breaks down collagen, increases transepidermal water loss (TEWL), can trigger inflammatory breakouts, and compromises barrier function — all things a Centella-based barrier product is meant to counter, not cause. Using a calming overnight step consistently, alongside actual sleep and stress management, is a reasonable support measure for stress-related barrier symptoms, though it is not a substitute for addressing the stress itself.

Permeability: Film-Forming (uncertain) — as an overnight gel-cream "pack" designed to sit on skin for hours, some degree of film formation is likely, but its exact water-permeability has not been independently tested for this SKU. A quick water splash test on your inner forearm can tell you whether water beads on the surface (film-forming) or absorbs through (permeable) for your unit.

Scholarly note: Adilsons provides this assessment based on the product's physical properties. Rulings on wudu validity vary between scholars. Consult your own trusted Islamic authority.

MYTH: "A 'sleeping pack' is just a thicker moisturizer with a different name." REALITY: the category is defined by leave-on duration (a full night) rather than thickness — this one is described by retailers as a lightweight gel, and the point is uninterrupted contact time, not texture.

MYTH: "More product overnight means better results by morning." REALITY: a thin, evenly patted layer performs the same job as a thick one for a humectant/soothing formula like this — excess product mostly transfers to your pillowcase rather than absorbing further.

AC environment warning: in air-conditioned rooms, the hyaluronic acid forms in this formula can pull moisture from your own deeper skin layers instead of from the air, since AC air is dry. Always seal this pack with a light occlusive layer if you sleep with AC on for extended periods.

Hard water note: Mauritius tap water hardness varies by region; hard water can leave a mineral film after cleansing that reads as tightness. That is a cleansing-step issue, not something this leave-on product causes or fixes — a pH-balanced toner beforehand is the more direct fix.

*Topical cosmetic melatonin evidence is largely in-vitro and early-stage; this is not the same evidence tier as its use as an oral sleep supplement, and no brand-published concentration was found for this SKU.

Full INCI list (44 ingredients located via a search-engine-summarized retrieval of an ingredient-database listing for this exact product; WebFetch to the source page itself was blocked this cycle, so this is a medium-confidence, not a page-verified, source — treat it as directional pending a direct-fetch confirmation): Centella Asiatica Leaf Water, Water, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, 1,2-Hexanediol, Niacinamide, Polyglutamic Acid, Pantolactone, Hydrolyzed Hibiscus Esculentus Extract, Carbomer, Panthenol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Hyaluronic Acid, Cetearyl Olivate, Methylpropanediol, Arginine, Pullulan, Sorbitan Olivate, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Pyrus Communis Fruit Extract, [--- Estimated 1% Line ---] Adenosine, Rosa Damascena Flower Water, Cucumis Melo Fruit Extract, Iris Florentina Root Extract, Ethylhexylglycerin, Hedera Helix Leaf/Stem Extract, Sodium Phytate, Xanthan Gum, Maltodextrin, Artemisia Princeps Leaf Extract, Hydrolyzed Gardenia Florida Extract, Melatonin, Illicium Verum Fruit Extract, Larix Sibirica Wood Extract, Quercus Mongolica Leaf Extract, Persicaria Hydropiper Extract, Rheum Palmatum Root/Stalk Extract, Asarum Sieboldii Root Extract, Chrysanthellum Indicum Extract, Corydalis Turtschaninovii Root Extract, Coptis Chinensis Root Extract, Machilus Thunbergii Bark Extract, Pentylene Glycol.

*Adenosine and Melatonin fall below the estimated 1% line by list position, but Adenosine's Korean MFDS functional-cosmetic threshold is only 0.04% — so a below-1%-line position does not by itself mean the ingredient is sub-efficacious for that specific claim. One industry aggregator lists this product at 46 total ingredients rather than the 44 retrieved here; this discrepancy was not reconciled this cycle and may reflect a formula update or a listing error.

Preservative system: 1,2-Hexanediol and Ethylhexylglycerin function together as a preservative-boosting pair (common alternative to traditional parabens/phenoxyethanol in Korean formulas); no paraben, phenoxyethanol, or formaldehyde-releaser is named in the retrieved list.

Fragrance status: no "Fragrance," "Parfum," or standalone essential oil is named anywhere in the retrieved 44-ingredient list — consistent with several retailer descriptions stating the product is formulated without added fragrance. This is based on a search-summarized ingredient retrieval, not a direct page fetch, so treat it as medium confidence.

Scent description: if you notice any scent, it is most likely the faint natural aroma of the botanical extracts (rose water, melon, pear) rather than an added fragrance compound.

EU 26 allergen screen: none of the 26 EU-declarable fragrance allergens (Limonene, Linalool, Citral, Geraniol, Eugenol, Cinnamal, etc.) appear by name in the retrieved list.

Alcohol disclosure: no ethanol/denatured alcohol is named; 1,2-Hexanediol and Methylpropanediol are glycol-type solvents/preservative boosters, not drying alcohols.

Halal:* Self-assessed by Adilsons based on the retrieved ingredient list. No ethanol from fermentation, no porcine-derived ingredients, and no haram animal-derived ingredients were detected in the retrieved 44-item INCI. This is NOT a formal Halal certification — SKIN1004 has no brand-wide Halal certificate on file, and this retrieval is medium-confidence (search-summarized, not directly fetched). Muslims with stricter requirements should consult their own scholars or contact us on WhatsApp for written distributor confirmation.

Vegan:* Self-assessed based on the retrieved INCI — no animal-derived ingredient is named. SKIN1004 is also listed brand-wide on PETA's "Beauty Without Bunnies" program, verified directly against PETA's own published database rather than the brand's own claim, which covers both cruelty-free and vegan status at the brand level. This is NOT a formal per-product vegan certification.

Cruelty-Free: SKIN1004 is listed on PETA's own published "Beauty Without Bunnies" database (brand-wide), which we checked directly against the certifier's listing rather than relying on the brand's own claim. SKIN1004 also sells through Tmall in mainland China, where post-market animal testing can legally apply to a brand's products; cross-border e-commerce sales may be exempt, but which channel supplies Adilsons' stock has not been confirmed.

Microplastic status: Likely Free — no common film-forming synthetic microplastic polymer (e.g. Polyethylene, Nylon-12, Acrylates Copolymer) is named in the retrieved list; Carbomer and Xanthan Gum are not classified as microplastics.

MFDS classification: Not independently confirmed as Functional Cosmetic. Niacinamide and Adenosine are both MFDS-recognized functional ingredients (brightening and wrinkle-improving respectively) when present at qualifying concentrations and formally registered as such — but this product's registration status and exact concentrations were not confirmed this cycle, so it is treated here as General Cosmetic pending that confirmation.

Clinical evidence: no independently verified clinical study citation specific to this exact product was located this cycle. Evidence confidence: Medium* for the individual named actives (Centella, Niacinamide, Adenosine each have a substantial independent research base as ingredients), Low for this specific formulation's own tested performance — these are not the same claim, and brand marketing referencing "clinically proven" results for this SKU has not been independently verified.

Fungal Acne Safety: FA-Conditional*. The retrieved INCI contains Cetearyl Olivate and Sorbitan Olivate — a plant-derived emulsifier pairing with a mixed record on Malassezia-safety trackers. Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride (a medium-chain triglyceride, generally lower FA risk) is also present. *This is based on a medium-confidence, search-summarized ingredient retrieval, not a direct lab or page-verified source — fungal-acne-prone users should patch test on the jawline for several nights before full-face use regardless.

Assessment: Low to Medium. Pilling is most likely if you layer this under or over another rich cream or a high-silicone product the same night. Mitigation: apply on slightly damp skin, pat rather than rub, wait a minute between layers, and reduce the amount of whichever product goes on first if pilling continues.

General spoilage signs apply: a sour or off smell (distinct from the natural rose/melon/pear botanical scent), visible separation that won't remix with shaking, or an unexpected color shift are all reasons to stop using it and discard it. Storage: keep it out of direct bathroom humidity and away from prolonged heat exposure — a bedroom shelf away from a sunny window is better than a steamy bathroom cabinet in Mauritius. When in doubt, discard.

Patch test: apply a small amount to your inner forearm and wait 24 hours; if clear, apply behind your ear and wait another 24 hours before your first full-face use. This matters more here specifically because of the FA-conditional emulsifiers noted above, and because pH/concentration data is not brand-published.

72-hour barrier reset (if you react): stop all actives for 72 hours and use only a gentle cleanser, a plain moisturizer, and mineral SPF — no acids, retinoids, Vitamin C, exfoliants, or essential oils. After 72 hours, reintroduce one product per 14 days. Emergency stop signals: hives, swelling, blistering, persistent burning, or breathing difficulty — seek emergency care immediately if any of these occur.

1. Using it as a morning moisturizer — it's built as an overnight leave-on step, not a daytime one
2. Applying a thick layer expecting faster results — a thin, evenly patted layer does the same job
3. Rubbing it in instead of patting — friction increases irritation risk on already-sensitive nights
4. Skipping the patch test because "it's just a moisturizer" — the FA-conditional emulsifiers make this exactly the product to patch test if you're breakout-prone
5. Introducing it alongside other new products at the same time, which makes it impossible to tell what caused any reaction

Overuse threshold: no confirmed active here restricts frequency, so nightly use is reasonable — but using significantly more than a pea-to-grape-size amount per night will not speed up results and mostly ends up on your pillowcase.

Usage math: at a pea-to-grape-size amount per night for full-face use, a 100ml tube typically supports roughly 2-3 months of nightly use for most people, varying with surface area covered and how generously you apply it. Lifespan: using 2-3x the recommended amount per application shortens that window proportionally without improving results — correct dosing extends the product's life without sacrificing what it does for your skin.

Reorder timing: if using it nightly, start planning your next order roughly 2 weeks before you expect the tube to run out, to allow for standard delivery timing in Mauritius.

This product's job is to be the calm, uninterrupted final step of your night — everything before it should already be doing its own job well. As a medium-weight gel-cream, it sits after your serums and moisturizer and before nothing else, since it is designed as the last layer.

PM routine: (1) cleanse — SKIN1004 Ampoule Foam 125ml, 1-2 pumps, rinse; (2) toner — Hyalu-Cica Brightening Toner, 5-8 drops, wait 10-20s; (3) treatment — Hyalu-Cica First Ampoule, 2-3 drops, wait 30-60s; (4) Sleeping Pack (this product), pea-to-grape amount, patted in as the final step.

If your skin is barrier-compromised right now (stinging on moisturizer, visible flaking): skip everything except a gentle cleanse and this pack for a few nights, and hold off on the toner/ampoule steps until things settle. If you sleep with AC on for extended periods: add a thin occlusive layer on top of this pack rather than relying on it alone. If you are fungal-acne-prone and haven't used this product before: patch test on the jawline for 3-5 nights before applying to your full face, given the Cetearyl Olivate/Sorbitan Olivate content.

Bundle A — Hyalu-Cica Hydration Trio: Ampoule Foam Cleanser + Hyalu-Cica Brightening Toner + this Sleeping Pack, for a full gentle PM sequence in one line. Bundle B — Hyalu-Cica AM/PM Duo: this Sleeping Pack (PM) + Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum 50ml (AM), so the same hero-ingredient positioning covers day and night.

After purchasing, you will receive our skincare education email series covering this product in depth.

The recommendations above are based on formulation synergy with this Sleeping Pack, not on margin or stock levels. If a pairing does not exist in our catalog, we say so. If you already own a product that fills the same role, use what you have first.

If you'd prefer a standard daily leave-on cream instead of an overnight "pack" format, the in-catalog alternative is the SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Moisture Cream 75ml, from the same sub-line. The trade-off is format, not necessarily strength: a cream is typically used both AM and PM in smaller amounts, while this Sleeping Pack is a PM-only, thicker final step meant for uninterrupted overnight contact.

Choose the Sleeping Pack over the Moisture Cream if you want a single dedicated overnight step separate from your daytime moisturizer, rather than one cream doing both jobs.

If you sleep in AC for long stretches: the Sleeping Pack's thicker overnight contact time may serve you better than a lighter daily cream. If you want one product for both AM and PM: the Moisture Cream is the simpler single-SKU choice. If your barrier is currently compromised: don't add either as an "upgrade" yet — repair with a gentle cleanse and minimal routine first.

Don't upgrade to the Sleeping Pack if: you already use a rich night cream and don't want a second thick layer; you're new to this brand and want to test the Moisture Cream's simpler AM/PM format first; you're fungal-acne-prone and haven't yet patch-tested this formula's emulsifier pair; or you specifically dislike leave-on masks against pillowcases. If none of these triggers apply strongly to you, the Moisture Cream alone is a sufficient and simpler routine. Consistency beats complexity.

This product's primary function is overnight barrier comfort and hydration as a leave-on final step. You do not need this if you already own an unfinished, unopened, or unexpired barrier-repair/hydrating overnight product doing the same job — finish that first.

Stacking assessment: if you already own the Hyalu-Cica Moisture Cream, adding this Sleeping Pack offers Marginal Benefit (overlapping hydration goal, different format) rather than a genuinely new pathway — decide based on whether you want a separate PM-only ritual step, not because the two "must" be used together.

This product is sourced through authorized Korean distributors — primarily Craver Co., Ltd (South Korea), alongside other verified distribution partners. Craver is a major Korean beauty distributor and the parent company of SKIN1004, handling authorized distribution for multiple K-beauty brands. All products are shipped directly to Mauritius via verified channels.

For comprehensive information about how we verify authenticity, our layered verification system, and how to check your product at home, visit our dedicated Authenticity and Trust page.

Quick verification tips: the EAN-13 barcode on genuine Craver-distributed SKIN1004 stock should begin with the GS1 prefix 8809576, and the batch code printed on the tube can be checked at CheckFresh to confirm a manufacture date. Tube-specific counterfeit markers (cap seal type, print quality) for this exact packaging format have not been independently verified against a confirmed-authentic reference unit — for anything more specific, the Authenticity page above is the definitive source.

SKIN1004 built its catalog around Centella Asiatica sourced from Madagascar as a shared base ingredient, positioning itself as a formulation-first, single-hero-ingredient brand rather than a trend-chasing one. This Hyalu-Cica sub-line pairs that hero ingredient with hyaluronic acid-based hydration across toners, serums, mists, sun care, and this overnight pack, all under the same naming convention.

A full transparency note first: WebFetch (direct page retrieval) was blocked for every retailer and forum domain attempted this cycle, so nothing below is a directly-read, verbatim review, and nothing is presented as one. What follows is what a search-engine summary of publicly indexed listings surfaced, treated as directional and medium-to-low confidence rather than confirmed fact.

An ingredient/rating aggregator site (SkinSort) shows this product carrying an aggregate community rating in the low-4-out-of-5 range and listed among its most-reviewed and top-rated products in SKIN1004's overnight-mask category, with recurring descriptor tags summarized as "light," "hydrating," and "works well." Separately, at least one individual user report surfaced describing good moisturization overall but limited improvement in already-dry patches, alongside increased oiliness in normally-behaving skin areas; another surfaced report described itching and pimples appearing after this product was combined with a different brand's toner and serum in the same routine, which is at least as plausibly a product-interaction issue as a reaction to this product alone.

No individually attributable review (a specific platform, date, username, or exact quote) could be independently confirmed this cycle, so none is reproduced here — this section will be updated once a direct page fetch is possible to confirm sourcing properly.

Sustainability: recyclability depends on your local program's plastic-tube handling; check the printed resin code on the tube itself, since this has not been independently confirmed for this SKU.

Can I use this every night? Yes — no confirmed active ingredient in this product restricts frequency, so nightly use is a reasonable default.

Does this replace my regular night moisturizer? It can, for many people, since it's designed as a final leave-on step — but if your skin needs more than one hydration layer, use both, moisturizer first.

Is this fungal-acne safe? Not flatly. It contains Cetearyl Olivate and Sorbitan Olivate, two fatty-acid-ester emulsifiers with a mixed record on fungal-acne safety trackers — treat it as conditional and patch test first if you're prone to Malassezia-related breakouts.

Will it feel heavy or sticky in Mauritius humidity? Most retailer descriptions call it a lightweight, non-sticky gel, though at least one independent user reported oiliness on normal skin areas — apply a thin layer and judge by your own skin's response.

How is the 100ml different from the 30ml version? They share the same product name and are presumed to be the same formula at different sizes, though this has not been separately confirmed by comparing verified ingredient lists on both listings; the 100ml suits committed nightly use, the 30ml suits trialing it first or travel.

Centella Asiatica

A plant extract containing triterpenoid compounds traditionally used for skin soothing and barrier support; SKIN1004's brand-wide hero ingredient.

Hyaluronic Acid

A humectant that binds water to the skin's surface; this product uses three different molecular-weight forms of it.

Niacinamide

Vitamin B3; a multi-tasking ingredient linked to reduced dark-mark transfer and barrier lipid support at sufficient concentration.

Adenosine

A nucleoside recognized by Korea's MFDS as a functional wrinkle-improving ingredient when present at a qualifying concentration.

Barrier (Skin Barrier)

The outermost layer of skin that keeps moisture in and irritants out.

Humectant

An ingredient that draws and holds water, either from the air or from within the skin.

Occlusive

An ingredient or product that forms a seal on skin to prevent moisture loss.

Fungal Acne (Malassezia Folliculitis)

Small, uniform, itchy bumps caused by yeast overgrowth, sometimes triggered or worsened by certain fatty-acid-ester ingredients in skincare.

INCI

International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients — the standardized ingredient-list naming system used on product labels.

MFDS

South Korea's Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, which classifies cosmetics as General or Functional based on tested claims.

PAO

Period-After-Opening — the number of months a product is considered safe/effective once opened, usually shown as a jar icon with a number.

Wudu

The Islamic ablution ritual before prayer, which requires water to reach the skin — relevant to whether a leave-on product needs removing first.

Assessment: Consult Your Oncology Care Team. No retinoid, and no named "Fragrance/Parfum" ingredient, was found in the retrieved INCI, which is a reasonable starting point for treatment-sensitized skin. However, this formula contains a long list of individually-uncommon botanical extracts (star anise, Siberian larch, Mongolian oak, water pepper, rhubarb, wild ginger, and several others) whose interaction profile with radiation-sensitized or chemotherapy-sensitized skin has not been individually researched here.

Consult your oncology care team before introducing any new skincare products during treatment.

Antioxidant pollution defense: Centella Asiatica's triterpenoid compounds (madecassoside, asiaticoside, madecassic acid) have documented antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity in the research literature, offering some general free-radical support as a secondary benefit of the hero ingredient — this is a property of Centella broadly, not a brand-specific clinical claim for this exact concentration.

AC/humidity swing interaction: the three hyaluronic acid forms in this formula pull moisture from the air in normal outdoor humidity, but can instead pull moisture from your own deeper skin layers during long air-conditioned stretches — sealing with a light occlusive on heavy-AC nights (see Climate Fit above) is the safer default.

Best for: anyone who wants a simple, single-step overnight PM addition for barrier comfort and hydration, especially if you already like SKIN1004's Centella-based formulas or want to stay within its Hyalu-Cica sub-line for easy layering.

Key benefits: three hyaluronic acid molecular weights plus Centella Asiatica for layered hydration and soothing; straightforward single-step nightly use with no rinsing or precise dosing; sits within a coherent in-catalog sub-line for anyone building out toner-to-cream layering from the same brand.

Keep in mind: no brand-published pH or active-percentage figures exist for this SKU; the formula contains two fatty-acid-ester emulsifiers (Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate) that are conditional, not universally safe, for fungal-acne-prone skin; and the ingredient list itself was retrieved via a search-engine summary rather than a direct page fetch this cycle, so it should be treated as medium confidence pending independent re-verification.
