SKIN1004 MADAGASCAR CENTELLA AMPOULE 55ML

Dealing with sensitive, unpredictable, or irritated skin can be frustrating. This ampoule offers a minimalist solution, harnessing the pure, calming power of Centella Asiatica from Madagascar to soothe redness, restore balance, and provide lightweight hydration suitable for Mauritius's humid climate.

Values You Can Trust: Halal-Friendly* / Vegan-Friendly* / Cruelty-Free* / 100% Authentic Guarantee

If your skin is easily angered by new products, environmental stress, or breakouts, this is your peace offering. Formulated with 100% Centella Asiatica Extract, this watery ampoule is designed to calm inflammation, reduce visible redness, and strengthen your skin's barrier without unnecessary additives.

• Texture: Lightweight, watery, non-sticky.
• Best For: Sensitive, oily, combination, and acne-prone skin.
• Core Benefit: Soothes irritation and provides pure, simple hydration.

Begin your journey to calmer skin with these simple steps:

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean base.
2. SKIN1004 Centella Ampoule: Apply 2-3 drops to your face and gently pat it in.
3. Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): Lock in the hydration and protect your skin.

Mindful Note: If you already have a soothing serum, finish it first. Substitute, don’t stack, to avoid waste.

Minimalist (3 Steps):

1. Cleanser
2. SKIN1004 Centella Ampoule
3. Sunscreen (SPF 30+)

Optional Additions:

• Add a moisturiser before sunscreen only if your skin feels tight or your SPF isn't hydrating enough for you.

Pro Tip: Wait 30-60 seconds for the ampoule to absorb before applying sunscreen to prevent pilling.

Minimalist (3-4 Steps):

1. Cleanser: Use an oil cleanser first if removing makeup or water-resistant sunscreen, followed by a water-based cleanser.
2. SKIN1004 Centella Ampoule
3. Moisturiser: A simple cream to lock in moisture overnight.

Optional Additions:

• On nights you use a stronger active like a retinoid or exfoliating acid, apply this ampoule beforehand to buffer potential irritation.

• Amount: 2-3 drops is enough for the entire face.
• Apply to: A clean face, can be used on the neck as well.
• Method: Dispense into palms and gently pat onto the skin until absorbed.
• Frequency: Safe for daily use, both AM and PM.

If-This / Then-That:

• If your skin is very oily: In Mauritius's humidity, this might provide enough light hydration on its own before sunscreen in the AM.
• If your barrier is damaged: Apply 2-3 layers to saturate your skin with calming hydration before sealing with a barrier cream.
• If you're using strong actives (Retinol/Acids): Use this ampoule as the first step after cleansing to act as a protective, soothing buffer.

This is a gentle, daily-use product designed for consistent calming and hydration.

• Daily: Use AM and/or PM as the serum step in your routine.

How it fits with other actives:

• On Exfoliant/Retinoid Nights: This ampoule is an excellent partner. Use it on the same night as your AHA, BHA, or Retinoid. Apply it *before* the active to reduce potential irritation, or *after* to add soothing hydration.
• On Soothing/Recovery Nights: On nights off from strong actives, this is your primary treatment step to focus on barrier support and calming.

• Immediate: Skin feels hydrated and soothed. A slight reduction in immediate redness or heat may be noticeable.
• 2-4 Weeks: With consistent use, the skin's barrier becomes more resilient. You may notice less day-to-day redness and reactivity.
• 4-8+ Weeks: Skin appears healthier, more balanced, and feels less sensitive to environmental triggers.

Myth: "If your skin is irritated, you should use nothing at all."

Why this, not that: While pausing harsh actives is smart, a damaged barrier needs support, not abandonment. A simple, soothing hydrator like this ampoule provides the necessary calming compounds (like Asiaticoside and Madecassic Acid from Centella) and moisture to aid your skin's natural repair process. This is safer and more effective than leaving a compromised barrier completely exposed to environmental stressors and further water loss.

Thanks to its simple, single-ingredient focus, this ampoule is universally compatible.

• Works Well With: Vitamin C, Retinoids (Retinol/Retinal), Niacinamide, Hyaluronic Acid, AHAs, BHAs, and Peptides. It is excellent for "buffering" these stronger ingredients to reduce irritation.
• Use Carefully With: No major conflicts. Just follow the "thinnest to thickest" rule of layering.
• Avoid On: Not for use on open wounds, but excellent for calming post-acne redness.

• Oily & Combination Skin: Excellent. Provides lightweight, non-greasy hydration.
• Sensitive & Acne-Prone Skin: Ideal. Its primary function is to soothe and calm inflammation associated with these skin types.
• Dry Skin: Good as a hydrating and soothing serum step, but must be followed by a more substantial moisturiser to lock in hydration.
• Mature Skin: Beneficial for reducing sensitivity, but does not contain targeted anti-aging actives for wrinkles or sagging.

• Reducing redness and calming inflammation
• Soothing sensitive or reactive skin
• Supporting a compromised or damaged skin barrier
• Providing lightweight surface hydration
• Alleviating irritation from harsh acne treatments or exfoliants

Key Active Explained:

• Centella Asiatica Extract (100%): Also known as Cica or Gotu Kola, this medicinal plant is a powerhouse for skin calming and repair. It is rich in active compounds like Madecassoside, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, and Madecassic Acid, which are scientifically proven to reduce inflammation, promote wound healing, and stimulate collagen synthesis.

Full INCI List: Centella Asiatica Extract, Water, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Cellulose Gum, Ethylhexylglycerin.

Note: The INCI list can vary slightly based on manufacturing date and region. The core ingredient remains Centella Asiatica Extract.

• Fragrance Status: Fragrance-Free. This product contains no added artificial fragrances or essential oils.
• Scent Profile: It has a very faint, natural, slightly herbal scent from the Centella extract, which dissipates quickly. Intensity: 0.5/5.
• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand.

This product is formulated to be gentle and is suitable for most users, including those with highly sensitive skin.

• Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Generally considered safe for use due to its simple and soothing formulation. However, as with any product, we recommend consulting your doctor before use during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a pea-sized amount to a small, discreet area, like behind your ear or on your inner jawline. Wait 24-48 hours. If no irritation occurs, you may proceed with facial use. Discontinue use if a burning rash develops.
• Kids/Teens: Suitable for teens struggling with acne-related inflammation. For younger children, consult a paediatrician.

• Texture & Finish: A very thin, watery liquid that absorbs almost instantly into the skin, leaving a hydrated but non-sticky, natural finish.
• pH: Approximately 5.5, which is ideal for maintaining a healthy skin barrier.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: The latest formulation is considered suitable for those with FA concerns, as it is free from common triggers like oils, esters, and polysorbates. Individual responses may vary.

• Issue: My skin still feels dry after using it. Solution: This is a hydrating serum, not an occlusive moisturiser. It adds water but doesn't seal it in. Always follow with a cream or lotion, especially if you have dry skin or are in an air-conditioned environment.
• Issue: I'm not seeing results for my wrinkles/dark spots. Solution: This ampoule's primary purpose is to soothe and calm. While healthy skin functions better, this product does not contain high-potency actives specifically for anti-aging or hyperpigmentation. Use it to support your skin while using other targeted treatments.

This ampoule is exceptionally well-suited for the hot and humid climate of Mauritius.

• Humid Summer: Its watery, non-greasy texture provides essential hydration and calming without feeling heavy or sticky. For very oily skin types, it can sometimes be used as a standalone hydrator before sunscreen.
• Drier Winter / AC Exposure: It serves as an excellent first layer of hydration to combat the dryness from indoor air-conditioning. Layer it under a slightly richer moisturiser to prevent water loss.

Aggregated sentiment from real users on independent platforms.

• "I have sensitive, allergy, acne combination skin... if i miss one day of this i can feel the difference. It genuinely soothes acne/inflammation pain, it controls and tones down my hormonal acne and rebound eczema - and nothing on this planet ive tried ever has." — Boots customer review (2024)
• "The texture is lightweight, absorbs quickly, and leaves no sticky feeling. Within a few days, I noticed less redness and irritation, and my skin feels more hydrated and balanced." — iHerb customer review (Aug 2025)
• "This is a 100 precent composition of centella which is a benefit to me that they didn't add any scents or concerning ingredients for sensitive skin, it's not very gentle to use daily but it can be used frequently..." — iHerb customer review (Sep 2024)
• Fair Caveat: Some users note that while it's wonderfully soothing, it is not a one-stop-shop for all skin concerns. One Reddit user mentioned, "It's great for calming, but I still need my niacinamide for pores and a separate vitamin C for brightening." (Reddit, r/AsianBeauty, 2024).

We are committed to providing you with only 100% authentic, high-quality K-beauty products. Our curation process is rigorous, ensuring every product is effective, safe, and sourced directly from official channels. We believe in empowering you with truthful information to make mindful choices for your skin.

1. Can I use this with my Retinol or Vitamin C serum?
Absolutely. It's an excellent product to use with strong actives. Apply it before your retinol or vitamin C to create a soothing buffer that helps minimize potential irritation.

2. Is this ampoule hydrating enough to be my only moisturiser?
For very oily skin in Mauritius's most humid months, possibly. However, for most skin types, it should be treated as a hydrating serum and followed with a moisturiser to seal in the hydration.

3. Will this help fade my acne scars?
It can help with the red marks (Post-Inflammatory Erythema) left by recent acne by calming inflammation. For brown or indented scars (PIH or atrophic scars), you will need to add targeted ingredients like Niacinamide, Vitamin C, or exfoliants to your routine.
