SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Jelly-Fit Ampoule Pad 60pads

Values: 100% Genuine (Adilsons policy) · Vegan-Friendly* / Cruelty-Free* (brand claim, self-assessed footnote) · Reef-Safe* (brand claim).

Pros: convenient pad format, gentle PHA-level exfoliation suitable for daily use, brand claims no harsh alcohols, common allergens, oils, parabens, silicones, or sulfates. Caveats: full ordered INCI not obtained this run; brand clinical percentage claims (see Evidence section) are unverified marketing figures.

Step 1 (When): AM and/or PM. Step 2 (How much): 1 pad, full face. Step 3 (How): wipe gently across the face, pat any remaining fluid in — do not rinse.

"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."

1. Cleanse. 2. SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Jelly-Fit Ampoule Pad, 1 wipe. 3. Serum (optional). 4. Moisturizer. 5. Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ (non-negotiable) — PHA use warrants consistent SPF, though PHAs are generally less photosensitizing than AHAs.

1. Double cleanse if wearing sunscreen. 2. SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Jelly-Fit Ampoule Pad, 1 wipe. 3. Any separate active lane (retinol/stronger acid — alternate nights with this pad if using a strong exfoliant elsewhere). 4. Moisturizer.

Technique: gentle wipe, then pat any remaining fluid into skin. Hands vs. pads: this is inherently a pad-based product, pre-dosed for the fluid it carries.

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: viscosity ladder — thinnest to thickest, water-phase before oil-phase, treatments before seals. Wait-time defaults: watery layers 10-20s, serum layers 30-60s, before sunscreen 10-15 min. Hard cap rule: if the routine pills, stings, or feels heavy, reduce layers, not increase.

AM Maximum Stack (16 steps): 1. Rinse/Gentle Cleanse (optional) 2. pH-Prep/Hydrating Toner Step [Anchor: this pad] 3. Hydrating Toner Layers (optional) 4. Essence (optional) 5. Mist (optional) 6. Booster/Soothing Serum (optional) 7. Antioxidant Lane — choose one 8. Pigment Support Lane — choose one 9. Hydration Serum Lane 10. Oil-Control Lane — choose one 11. Peptides/Repair Lane 12. Eye Serum/Cream 13. Moisturizer 14. Optional Sealing Layer 15. Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ — non-negotiable 16. Lip SPF.

"In AM, prioritize comfort + SPF adherence over stacking. In high humidity, fewer layers often perform better."

PM Maximum Stack (14 steps): 1. Micellar pre-cleanse (optional) 2. Oil Cleanser (if SPF/makeup) 3. Water Cleanser 4. Anchor: this pad 5. Hydrating Toner Layers (optional) 6. Essence (optional) 7.

Lip Sleeping Mask.

"Do not layer retinoids with AHA/BHA in the same night; keep 'one lane' per night."

Lane strictness: one-lane rule — Retinoid OR Exfoliation OR Strong Vitamin C (LAA) OR Acne-control active per routine; barrier/hydration can always accompany.

Overuse warning: Gluconolactone is gentle enough for daily use for most people, but if you're also running a stronger AHA/BHA, space them onto different days. Exceeding this does NOT produce faster results — it produces barrier stress.

Before starting, a basic cleanser should already be in your routine. PROCEED IF: seeking daily gentle hydration and texture refinement. PAUSE IF: already running a separate strong exfoliant daily (space onto different days instead). STOP/CONSULT IF: known allergy to Centella-derived ingredients.

Hydration via the 8-type micro-encapsulated HA complex; gentle texture smoothing via Gluconolactone (PHA); mild tone/barrier support via Niacinamide. What this product cannot do: deliver the resurfacing strength of a stronger AHA/BHA, or fade pigmentation on its own.

Primary pick: SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Moisture Cream 75ml (verified in stock, 27 units) to seal in hydration.

Alternatives: SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Blue Serum 30ml (verified in stock, 6 units) as a follow-up hydration serum; SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum 50ml (verified in stock, 112 units) as the mandatory AM SPF finisher; SKIN1004 Poremizing Deep Cleansing Foam 125ml (verified in stock, 47 units) as a matching gentle cleanser.

MYTH: "PHA exfoliants are the same strength as AHA/BHA." REALITY: PHAs like Gluconolactone have a larger molecular size that limits penetration depth, making them gentler and generally suitable for daily use even on sensitive skin.

MYTH: "Hydrogel pads are just fancy cotton pads." REALITY: the hydrogel material itself is designed to lock moisture into skin on contact, distinct from a standard cotton/cellulose pad's simple fluid-delivery role.

Full INCI: full ordered ingredient list not independently obtained from a primary source at the time of writing — only the brand's own named key actives above were found via its site and retailer listings (Ulta, Jolse, Kiyoko Beauty). Do not treat this as an exhaustive ingredient list.

Fragrance status: Not independently confirmed either way this run, though the brand claims no common allergens. EU 26 allergens: not assessable without a full INCI list.

Halal: *Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available INCI data. No ethanol from fermentation, no porcine-derived ingredients, and no haram animal-derived ingredients detected in the declared ingredient list. This is NOT a formal Halal certification. Muslims with stricter requirements should consult their own scholars.

Vegan: *Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available INCI data — the brand itself also states the product is vegan. No animal-derived ingredients detected. This is NOT a formal vegan certification by The Vegan Society or equivalent body.

Cruelty-free: SKIN1004 is listed on PETA's own Beauty Without Bunnies database, verified directly against the certifier's published listing — a real third-party certification at the brand level. *Brand also sells through Tmall in mainland China; cross-border sales may be exempt from post-market animal testing requirements, but the exact channel for this SKU is unconfirmed.

Reef Safety: *Brand claims "reef safe" for this product; not independently verified against a specific UV-filter-free formula check this run, though this is a leave-on toner pad, not a sunscreen, so reef relevance is limited to incidental water contact.

MFDS classification is not independently confirmed. The brand states clinical testing showing 65.1% improvement in skin glow (radiance), 34.4% increase in skin moisture content, and 58.8% improvement in skin elasticity, plus a completed "sensitive skin irritation test." *These figures come from brand-published marketing material found via WebSearch this run; no lab name, sample size, or testing methodology was disclosed or independently verified. Treat as an unsubstantiated brand claim, not a cited clinical study, until a primary source is located. Evidence confidence: Low-Medium.

Fungal Acne Safety: Unknown — cannot assess without a full INCI list, though the named key actives carry no obvious FA-trigger risk.

Assessment: Low, as this is a pad, not a leave-on cream. Allow it to fully absorb before applying serums or moisturizer.

Fresh pads should be evenly saturated and cool-feeling with no discoloration. Reseal the tub/pouch tightly after each use to prevent evaporation in Mauritius' humidity. When in doubt, discard.

Patch test on the inner forearm (24h), then behind the ear (24h), before full facial use. "If adverse reaction: STOP ALL ACTIVES. For 72 hours, use ONLY gentle cleanser + plain moisturizer + mineral SPF. NO acids, retinoids, Vitamin C, exfoliants, or essential oils. After 72h, reintroduce ONE product per 14 days."

1. Combining with a separate strong exfoliant the same night without spacing them out. 2. Leaving the container open, drying out the remaining pads. 3. Rinsing off the pad's fluid — it's meant to be left on.

At 1 pad per use, 60 pads covers roughly 60 applications — about 1-2 months at once or twice daily use. Reorder around week 6-7 to allow for shipping time.

This pad's role is daily hydration and gentle texture smoothing in a toner-step position. AM: cleanse → this pad → moisturizer → SPF. PM: cleanse → this pad → other actives (alternate nights if using a stronger exfoliant) → moisturizer.

If you're also running a stronger AHA/BHA: alternate nights rather than combining both. If you're in AC all day: always seal with a moisturizer. If your skin feels rough or dull: daily use of this pad is a reasonable gentle-texture-smoothing habit.

The recommendations above are based on formulation synergy with SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica Jelly-Fit Ampoule Pad, 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 want a stronger exfoliating pad instead of this gentle PHA-level one, SKIN1004 Poremizing Clear Toner 210ml (verified in stock, 5 units) uses a marketed "4-HA" acid blend for more active exfoliation — a genuine trade-off of more resurfacing power for a higher irritation-risk profile.

This product's primary function is hydration and gentle texture smoothing. You do NOT need this if you already own another PHA/HA hydrating pad doing the same job — finish that first. Stacking assessment: No Benefit if run alongside another gentle-exfoliant toner pad.

Can I use this every day? Yes — Gluconolactone (PHA) is gentle enough for daily use for most people.

Is this the same as a regular toner pad? The hydrogel material and micro-encapsulated HA complex differentiate it from a standard cotton toner pad.

Does it exfoliate strongly? No — PHA is one of the gentlest chemical exfoliant classes, not comparable to a strong AHA/BHA.

Does it replace my moisturizer? No — always follow with a moisturizer.

PHA

Polyhydroxy acid, a gentle class of chemical exfoliant with larger molecules than AHA/BHA, limiting penetration depth.

Micro-encapsulation

A delivery technique that wraps an ingredient in a tiny shell for more controlled release.

Hydrogel

A water-based gel material used in some pads/masks to lock moisture into skin.
