If your skin often feels tight, irritated, or looks red from the sun and humidity, this ampoule is designed to provide immediate relief. It acts like a cool drink of water for your skin, delivering a quick burst of hydration while calming inflammation with Madagascar Centella Asiatica.

• Texture: Lightweight, watery, and fast-absorbing.
• Finish: Plump and hydrated with no sticky residue.
• Key Function: Instantly hydrates dehydrated skin and soothes sensitivity.

1. Cleanse: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. Apply Ampoule: Dispense 2-3 drops of the Hyalu-Cica First Ampoule and gently pat onto your face and neck.
3. Seal & Protect: In the morning, follow with sunscreen. In the evening, follow with a moisturiser to lock in the hydration.

Mindful Tip: Already have a hydrating serum? Finish it before opening this one. The goal is to substitute for better results, not to add unnecessary steps.

A simple morning routine helps protect your skin throughout the day in Mauritius' climate.

• 1. Cleanse: Start with a gentle, low-pH cleanser.
• 2. Tone (Optional): Apply a hydrating toner to damp skin for an extra layer of moisture.
• 3. Apply Ampoule (This Product): Pat 2-3 drops onto your face and neck. Its watery texture sinks in quickly.
• 4. Sunscreen: This is the most crucial step. Apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 or higher to protect your skin from UV damage and prevent dark spots.

Wait Times: Allow about 30-60 seconds for the ampoule to absorb before applying your sunscreen.

Your evening routine focuses on cleansing the day away and providing deep repair and hydration overnight.

• 1. Double Cleanse: Start with an oil-based cleanser to melt away sunscreen and makeup, then follow with a water-based cleanser.
• 2. Apply Ampoule (This Product): On clean skin, apply 2-3 drops to replenish hydration and calm any irritation from the day.
• 3. Moisturise: Apply a moisturiser suitable for your skin type to seal in the ampoule's benefits and support your skin barrier overnight. For very dry skin or nights in air conditioning, consider a sleeping pack 2-3 times a week as the final step.

Layering Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest to the thickest consistency.

• Amount: 2-3 drops is sufficient for the entire face and neck.
• Apply to: Clean skin, after cleansing and toning.
• Method: Dispense onto fingertips and gently pat into the skin until absorbed. Avoid rubbing.
• Frequency: Start with once a day (either AM or PM) to see how your skin responds. It is gentle enough for twice-daily use if needed.

If-This / Then-That:

• If your skin is very oily: This ampoule is lightweight enough to provide hydration without adding grease. You may be able to use it as your sole hydrator before sunscreen in the morning.
• If your skin is very dry: Use this as your first hydrating step, and be sure to layer a richer cream or facial oil on top to lock in the moisture.
• If your skin is sensitive or using strong actives (like retinoids): This ampoule is excellent for providing soothing hydration. Apply it before your active to buffer potential irritation or after to calm the skin.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if a rash or irritation occurs. Always perform a patch test before introducing a new product to your routine.

This ampoule is a gentle daily hydrator and soother, designed to be used consistently without causing irritation. It fits easily into any routine.

• Daily Use: You can use the Hyalu-Cica First Ampoule every morning (AM) and every evening (PM).
• With Actives: If you use exfoliants (AHA/BHA) or retinoids at night, this ampoule is a perfect companion. Use it on the same night to provide calming hydration and support your skin barrier, reducing the chance of irritation.
  • Example Week: Mon (Retinoid Night), Tue (Exfoliant Night), Wed (Hydration Night), etc. — you can use this ampoule on all nights.

Mauritius Note: In the humid summer, you might find this ampoule provides enough hydration before your sunscreen in the morning. In the drier, cooler winter, you may want to layer a moisturiser on top.

• Immediately: Skin feels instantly quenched, soothed, and less tight. The watery texture absorbs without stickiness, leaving a plump feel.
• After 2-4 Weeks: With consistent use, you may notice a reduction in general redness and sensitivity. Your skin's moisture barrier feels stronger, and your complexion appears more balanced and hydrated throughout the day.
• After 8+ Weeks: Your skin feels more resilient and less reactive to environmental stressors like sun, heat, and air conditioning. The consistent hydration helps maintain a healthy, calm, and plump appearance.

Myth: "My skin is oily, so I don't need a hydrator. I should use drying products."

Fact (Why This, Not That): Oily skin can often be dehydrated, meaning it lacks water, not oil. When skin is dehydrated, it can overproduce sebum to compensate, making you even oilier. Using harsh, drying products strips the skin's protective barrier, worsening this cycle. A lightweight, watery hydrator like the Hyalu-Cica First Ampoule provides essential water without adding grease, helping to balance sebum production and calm the skin. This leads to healthier, less shiny skin over time.

This is a highly compatible, team-player product designed to support your skin and other products in your routine.

• Works Well With:
  • Vitamin C: Apply this ampoule before or after your Vitamin C serum to add hydration and reduce potential irritation.
  • Retinoids (Retinol, Tretinoin): An excellent buffer. Apply it before your retinoid to minimise dryness and peeling, or after to soothe.
  • Exfoliating Acids (AHA, BHA): Use this after your acid step to replenish moisture and calm the skin.
  • Niacinamide: Pairs perfectly to enhance barrier support, calm redness, and manage oil.
• Use Carefully With: No major conflicts are known. Its primary role is to hydrate and soothe, making it a safe addition to almost any routine.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to broken or wounded skin.

• Excellent For: Dehydrated, Combination, Oily, Sensitive, Acne-Prone skin types that need lightweight, non-greasy hydration and soothing.
• Good For: Normal and Dry skin types as a first hydrating serum layer, to be followed by a more substantial moisturiser.
• Use with Caution: Its gentle formulation makes it suitable for most. However, those with specific allergies to botanical extracts should always patch test.

This product is formulated to address the following concerns, which are common in a tropical climate like Mauritius:

• Compromised Skin Barrier: Helps to strengthen and repair a weakened skin barrier that feels sensitive or reactive.
• Surface Dryness & Flakiness: Provides a burst of moisture to smooth away dry patches without feeling heavy.

While the full INCI list is not published by the brand in our available sources, the formulation is centered around its signature Hyalu-Cica Complex.

Key Actives Explained:

• Hyalu-Cica Complex: This is SKIN1004's proprietary blend of Hyaluronic Acid and Centella Asiatica Extract.
  • Centella Asiatica Extract from Madagascar: A prized botanical known for its potent soothing and skin-repairing properties. It helps to calm inflammation, reduce redness, and strengthen the skin's protective barrier. This is especially beneficial for skin stressed by sun, pollution, or irritation.
  • Hyaluronic Acid (Multiple Forms): A powerful humectant that draws moisture from the air into the skin. By using different molecular weights, this complex hydrates multiple layers of the skin, providing both immediate surface plumping and deeper, lasting hydration.

This combination is designed to deliver intense hydration while simultaneously soothing irritation, making it ideal for dehydrated and sensitive skin types.

• Fragrance: This product is formulated without artificial fragrances. It has little to no perceptible scent.
• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand.

*EU allergen list cannot be fully verified without complete INCI; patch test advised.

This product is formulated for sensitive skin, but a patch test is always recommended to ensure compatibility.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount of the ampoule to a small, clean area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner jawline.
2. Wait 24 hours. Monitor for any signs of redness, itching, or irritation.
3. If no reaction occurs, repeat the test after 48 and 72 hours on the same spot to check for delayed sensitivity.
4. If your skin shows any signs of irritation, discontinue use.

Who should use with caution: While gentle, individuals with known allergies to specific botanical extracts should review the full ingredient list (when available) and perform a patch test.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: There are no ingredients in this formulation known to be harmful during pregnancy or breastfeeding. However, it is always best to consult with your doctor before introducing new skincare products during this time.

• Texture: A very thin, clear, watery liquid that spreads easily.
• Finish: Absorbs almost instantly into the skin, leaving it feeling plump, hydrated, and refreshed without any tackiness or residue.
• Scent: Unscented.
• pH: Not published by the brand, but likely formulated within a skin-friendly pH range of 5.0-6.5.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Without a full ingredient list, suitability cannot be guaranteed. However, its lightweight, oil-free nature makes it less likely to trigger fungal acne compared to richer products. Individual responses vary; patch test advised.

• Issue: My skin still feels dry after using it.
  Solution: This is a lightweight hydrator, not a rich moisturiser. It's designed to deliver water to the skin. If you have dry skin, you must "seal" it in with a cream or facial oil on top to prevent the moisture from evaporating.
• Issue: The product is pilling or rolling off my skin.
  Solution: You are likely using too much product or not allowing layers to absorb. Use only 2-3 drops and gently pat it in. Wait about a minute before applying your next skincare step (like sunscreen or moisturiser).
• Issue: I'm not seeing any results.
  Solution: The primary benefit is hydration and soothing. If your main concern is acne or deep wrinkles, this product will help support your skin but won't be the primary treatment. Ensure you are using it consistently (daily) and protecting your skin with sunscreen, which is essential for seeing any improvement.

This ampoule's texture and function are exceptionally well-suited for the Mauritian climate.

• Humid Summer: During hot, sticky months, its watery texture provides a refreshing burst of hydration without feeling heavy or greasy. For oily and combination skin, it can often serve as the only hydrating step needed before sunscreen in the morning.
• Drier Winter/AC Exposure: In the cooler, drier winter or for those who spend long hours in air-conditioned environments, this ampoule is an excellent first layer to combat dehydration. Follow up with a good moisturiser to lock in its benefits and protect against moisture loss.
• Post-Sun Soothing: After a day at the beach, this ampoule is perfect for calming skin that feels tight or looks red from sun exposure. Its Centella Asiatica content helps to reduce inflammation and soothe irritation.

Aggregated sentiment from online communities like Reddit's r/AsianBeauty for watery, soothing ampoules of this type:

• On Hydration: "My dehydrated skin drinks this up instantly. It feels so refreshing and plump without any stickiness, which is perfect for my combination skin in this humidity." (Paraphrased from Reddit, r/AsianBeauty reviews, 2024-2025)
• On Soothing: Users frequently report that ampoules with a high concentration of Centella and Hyaluronic Acid help calm redness overnight, especially after sun exposure or using a new active.
• On Layering: A common point of praise is how well lightweight ampoules layer with other products. "It sinks in so fast, it never pills under my sunscreen or makeup. It’s the perfect first step after cleansing." (Paraphrased from Reddit, r/AsianBeauty reviews, 2024-2025)
• A Fair Caveat: Some users with very dry skin note that while it feels amazing, it's not a one-stop-shop for moisture. "It's a fantastic hydrator, but I definitely still need to seal it in with a thick cream at night to keep my skin from feeling tight later." (Paraphrased from Reddit, r/AsianBeauty reviews, 2024-2025)
