This lightweight ampoule helps restore skin elasticity and hydration, addressing the early signs of aging often accelerated by Mauritius' high UV exposure and drying indoor air-conditioning. Its gentle peptide-based formula works to visibly plump skin and smooth fine lines without the irritation sometimes associated with stronger actives.

It can feel discouraging when you start to notice fine lines or a loss of firmness. This ampoule is designed for those looking to gently introduce an effective anti-aging step to support skin's resilience and bounce.

• Texture: A semi-emulsion, milky, lightweight liquid that absorbs without stickiness.
• Core Benefit: Improves skin elasticity and provides deep, lasting hydration to visibly plump fine lines.
• Key Actives: 10% Matrixyl 3000® (Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7), Centella Asiatica Extract, Panthenol, Hyaluronic Acid.
• Special Feature: Contains hydrolyzed sponge spicules, which create micro-pathways to help the active ingredients absorb more effectively. This may cause a slight tingling sensation.

1. Cleanser: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. THIS PRODUCT: Apply 2-3 drops to your entire face and gently pat until absorbed.
3. Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): Follow with sunscreen in the morning to protect your skin, or a moisturiser in the evening to lock in hydration.

Note: Already own a similar peptide or anti-aging serum? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).

Minimalist Routine (4 steps):

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean base.
2. Hydrating Toner (Optional): A splash of toner can prep the skin and add a layer of hydration.
3. THIS PRODUCT: Apply 2-3 drops for firmness and hydration.
4. Sunscreen SPF 30+: Essential to protect skin from UV damage, which accelerates aging.

Wait times: Allow 30-60 seconds between watery layers, and at least 1-2 minutes after this ampoule before applying sunscreen to prevent pilling.

Minimalist Routine (3-4 steps):

1. Cleanser: Double cleanse if you wore makeup or water-resistant sunscreen (Oil Cleanser → Foam/Gel Cleanser).
2. THIS PRODUCT: Apply 2-3 drops to help repair and firm the skin overnight.
3. Moisturiser: Lock in the ampoule’s benefits and provide lasting hydration.

Optional: On nights you don't use this product, you can use a retinoid or chemical exfoliant (AHA/BHA) 1-3 times a week, but do not use them on the same night as each other to avoid irritation.

• Amount: 2-3 drops for the entire face.
• Frequency: The formula contains micro-spicules that may cause a tingling feeling. The brand recommends starting with 2-3 times per week to allow your skin to adapt. If well-tolerated, you can gradually increase to daily use (AM and/or PM).
• Method: After cleansing and toning, dispense onto your palms and gently pat into the skin until fully absorbed.
• Tingling Sensation: A slight tingling or prickly feeling upon application is normal due to the hydrolyzed sponge spicules. This sensation typically subsides as the product absorbs. Follow with a moisturiser to soothe and hydrate the skin.

If-This / Then-That:

• If your skin is very dry: Layer this under a richer, ceramide-based moisturiser at night.
• If your skin is oily/combo: Its lightweight texture may provide enough moisture under sunscreen in the morning, especially in humid weather.
• If your skin is sensitive: Patch test behind the ear first. Start with use only 2 times per week at night and monitor for any irritation beyond the initial tingling.
• If you use Retinoids/Acids: Use this ampoule on alternate nights to focus on hydration and repair. Do not stack strong actives on the same night.

This ampoule is gentle enough for daily use once your skin is accustomed to it. However, if you also use stronger actives, it's best to alternate them.

Example Week (Focus on Anti-Aging & Repair):

• Mon/Wed/Fri/Sun (PM): THIS PRODUCT (Peptide focus)
• Tue/Sat (PM): Retinoid night (for cell turnover)
• Thu (PM): Exfoliant night (AHA/BHA for texture)

Rules:

• Always use one strong active per night. Do not mix retinoids and chemical exfoliants (AHA/BHA) on the same evening.
• You can use this peptide ampoule in the morning every day, followed by sunscreen.

• Immediate: Skin feels deeply hydrated and plumper. Brand clinical tests show an immediate improvement in skin hydration and volume after one use.
• 2–4 Weeks: Skin barrier feels stronger and more resilient. Skin may appear smoother and retain moisture better throughout the day.
• 4–8+ Weeks: With consistent use, you may notice an improvement in skin firmness and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles as the peptides work to support collagen production.

Individual results vary. Consistent use and daily sun protection are essential for seeing anti-aging benefits.

Why use a peptide ampoule, not just a "collagen" cream?

Many creams contain collagen molecules, but they are too large to penetrate the skin's surface and mainly provide surface hydration. This ampoule uses peptides like Matrixyl 3000®, which are small enough to be absorbed. These peptides act as messengers, signaling your skin to produce its own new collagen, leading to firmer, bouncier skin from within. It's a more effective, evidence-based approach to improving skin elasticity.

• Works Well With: Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, Centella Asiatica, Panthenol, Vitamin C derivatives, and Sunscreen. Using it with hydrating and soothing ingredients enhances its benefits.
• Use Carefully With: Retinoids and strong direct acids (AHA/BHA). It's best to use them on alternate nights rather than in the same routine to avoid potential over-stimulation or irritation, especially when your skin is new to the spicules.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to broken, wounded, or freshly exfoliated skin, as the spicules may cause irritation.

• Excellent For: Dry, Dehydrated, Normal, and Mature skin types concerned with loss of firmness and fine lines.
• Good For: Combination skin, as its lightweight texture absorbs well without feeling heavy.
• Use with Caution: Oily and acne-prone skin types should introduce it slowly. While the base is lightweight, it contains some emollients. Very sensitive skin should patch test due to the tingling sensation from the spicules.

Key Actives Explained:

• Matrixyl 3000® (10%): A powerful peptide complex containing Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7. These peptides act as messengers that signal the skin to produce more collagen, helping to improve firmness and reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
• Centella Asiatica Extract: Sourced from Madagascar, this botanical extract is renowned for its soothing and repairing properties. It helps calm inflammation and supports a healthy skin barrier.
• Panthenol (Pro-Vitamin B5): A humectant that attracts and holds moisture, deeply hydrating the skin while also providing a soothing effect to calm irritation.
• Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid: A low-molecular-weight form of hyaluronic acid that can penetrate deeper into the skin to provide lasting hydration from within.
• Adenosine: An MFDS-approved functional ingredient for wrinkle improvement. It energizes the skin's surface, contributing to a smoother appearance.
• Hydrolyzed Sponge (Spicules): Micro-sized spicules derived from sponges that create tiny pathways in the skin to boost the absorption and delivery of the active ingredients.

• Fragrance Status: Fragrance-free. Does not contain any added artificial fragrances or essential oils.
• Scent Profile: Odorless (Intensity: 0/5).
• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand based on the provided INCI list.

• Who should use with caution: Those with highly sensitive or reactive skin, or a compromised skin barrier, should introduce this product slowly due to the tingling sensation from the spicules. Not recommended for use on active infections, open wounds, or after intensive procedures like chemical peels or laser treatments.
• Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Peptides and Centella are generally considered safe for topical use, but there is insufficient published data on the use of spicules during pregnancy. It is best to consult with a doctor before use.
• Teens: This product targets signs of aging and is not necessary for teenage skin. A routine of cleanser, moisturiser, and SPF is sufficient.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount to a clean, small area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner jawline.
2. Observe for a tingling sensation, which is expected. Wait 24 hours to see if any excessive redness, itching, or irritation occurs.
3. If your skin feels fine, you can proceed with using the product as recommended, starting 2-3 times per week.
4. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.

• Texture: A lightweight, milky, semi-emulsion liquid.
• Finish: Absorbs quickly into the skin, leaving a hydrated and slightly plump finish without any greasiness or sticky residue.
• Scent: None.
• pH: Not publicly disclosed by the brand.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains Glyceryl Stearate SE and Polysorbate 20, which may be potential triggers for some individuals with fungal acne. Patch testing is advised.

• Issue: The tingling is stronger than expected.
  Fix: This is normal for a spicule-based product. Ensure you are applying it to dry, calm skin (not immediately after a hot shower or exfoliation). Follow up with a soothing, hydrating moisturiser. If it's uncomfortable, reduce use to once or twice a week until your skin adapts.
• Issue: My skin feels a bit dry after using it.
  Fix: This ampoule is a treatment, not a final moisturising step. Always follow up with a good moisturiser to lock in the hydration and support your skin barrier, especially as it adapts to the spicules.
• Issue: I'm not seeing results after 2 weeks.
  Fix: Peptide-based results for firmness and fine lines take time and consistency. Expect to see visible improvements after 8 weeks or more. Ensure you are using it regularly and protecting your skin with daily SPF 30+ to prevent new damage.

• Humid Summer: The lightweight, non-greasy texture is perfect for Mauritius' humid conditions. For oily or combination skin, it can be used in the morning under sunscreen without feeling heavy.
• Drier Winter/AC Exposure: During the slightly drier winter months or if you spend a lot of time in air-conditioning, you may want to layer a more nourishing cream over this ampoule, especially at night, to prevent dehydration.

SKIN1004 (pronounced "Skin Cheon-sa," which means "Skin Angel" in Korean) is a natural, award-winning Korean skincare brand. Their philosophy is rooted in using high-quality, pure ingredients sourced from untouched nature.

They are committed to creating gentle, effective, and clean formulations that are hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive skin, all while adhering to ethical, cruelty-free, and vegan principles.

• Ampoule: A highly concentrated serum with a high percentage of active ingredients, designed for targeted treatment.
• Centella Asiatica: A medicinal herb known for its soothing, anti-inflammatory, and wound-healing properties. Often called "Cica" or "Tiger Grass."
• Matrixyl 3000®: A trademarked peptide complex that contains Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7. It's a "messenger peptide" that signals skin to produce more collagen and elastin, helping to reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
• MFDS: The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety in South Korea. They regulate and certify "functional cosmetics" that have proven effects for specific concerns like brightening or wrinkle improvement.
• PAO (Period After Opening): The symbol on packaging (an open jar with a number like "12M") that indicates how many months a product is safe to use after it has been opened.
• Peptides: Short chains of amino acids that are the building blocks of proteins like collagen and elastin. In skincare, they act as messengers to signal skin cells to perform specific functions.

We are committed to bringing you only the best, most effective, and authentic K-beauty products. Every item in our store is carefully curated and sourced directly from authorized channels in South Korea. We stand by our 100% authenticity guarantee, ensuring you receive genuine, high-quality skincare that you can trust.

1. Will the tingling from the spicules damage my skin?
No, the tingling is a normal and temporary sensation caused by the micro-spicules creating pathways for better absorption. It is not a sign of damage or an allergic reaction for most people. The spicules are plant-based and naturally dissolve or shed from the skin within a few days.

2. Can I use this with Vitamin C?
Yes, you can. It is best to use Vitamin C in the morning (for its antioxidant benefits) and this peptide ampoule in the evening to avoid layering too many products at once. If you use them in the same routine, apply Vitamin C first, wait a few minutes, then apply this ampoule.

3. Is this better than Retinol for wrinkles?
They work differently. Peptides like Matrixyl are messengers that signal collagen production and are very gentle. Retinol actively speeds up skin cell turnover and is more potent, but can also be more irritating. This ampoule is an excellent gentle alternative for those who find retinol too harsh or for those wanting to add a different collagen-supporting mechanism to their routine on nights off from retinol.

4. Can I use this around my eyes?
Yes, you can gently pat a small amount around the orbital bone area, but avoid getting it directly into your eyes. The firming benefits are also great for the delicate skin around the eyes.

Best For: Individuals concerned with the first signs of aging, such as fine lines, loss of elasticity, and dehydration, who want an effective yet gentle peptide-based treatment.
