Dealing with skin that feels tight, looks red, or reacts to everything can be frustrating. This cream is a daily moisturiser designed to soothe irritation and rebuild your skin's protective barrier, helping it become more resilient against environmental stressors like sun and humidity.

• What it is: A soothing and hydrating daily moisturiser with a creamy yet non-heavy texture.
• Who it's for: Best for normal, combination, and sensitive skin types. Also suitable for oily skin that needs barrier support without a greasy feel.
• Key Benefits: Calms redness and irritation, strengthens the skin's moisture barrier, provides lasting hydration, and helps improve the appearance of fine lines and uneven tone over time.

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean base.
2. SKIN1004 Centella Cream: Apply a pea-sized amount to your face and neck.
3. Sunscreen (AM) / Thicker Layer (PM): Protect your skin in the morning. At night, you can use this cream as your final step.

Mindful Note: Already have a moisturiser you're using? It's best to finish that one first to avoid waste and see its full results before starting a new one.

Minimalist Routine (3-4 Steps):

1. Cleanser: Wash your face with a gentle cleanser.
2. Hydrating Toner/Essence (Optional): A splash of a watery toner can boost hydration.
3. SKIN1004 Centella Cream: Apply a pea-sized amount to hydrate and soothe.
4. Sunscreen (SPF 30+): The most important step to protect your skin barrier and prevent sun damage.

Wait Times: Allow 30-60 seconds between watery layers and 1-2 minutes after the cream before applying sunscreen to prevent pilling.

Minimalist Routine (3 Steps):

1. Cleanser: Double cleanse if you wore makeup or water-resistant sunscreen (use an oil cleanser first, then a water-based cleanser).
2. SKIN1004 Centella Cream: Apply a pea-sized amount (or slightly more for extra hydration) to your face and neck.
3. Moisturiser (Optional): This cream is your moisturiser. If you feel very dry, you can layer a light facial oil on top.

Texture Rule: Always apply products from the thinnest texture (like a toner) to the thickest (this cream).

• Amount: A pea-sized amount for the face, plus another half-pea for the neck.
• Apply to: Freshly cleansed face and neck. Avoid the immediate eye area.
• Method: Smooth gently over the skin, then pat lightly to help absorption.
• Frequency: Use daily, both morning and evening.

If-This / Then-That:

• If your T-zone is very oily: Use a thinner layer in that area. Your morning sunscreen might provide enough moisture.
• If your skin feels dry from air-conditioning: Apply this cream over a hydrating toner or essence to lock in more moisture.
• If your skin is sensitive: This cream is designed for you. Start by using it only at night for the first week to ensure your skin is happy.
• If you're using strong actives (retinoids, acids): This cream is excellent to use in the same routine to help soothe and buffer potential irritation.
• If pilling occurs under makeup: You may be using too much product or not waiting long enough between steps. Try using a smaller amount and wait 2 minutes before applying sunscreen or primer.

This is a gentle, daily-use cream designed to support your skin barrier. It can be used every day, morning and night, even alongside active ingredients.

• Daily Use: Apply AM and PM as the moisturiser step in your routine.
• With Actives: If you use an exfoliant (AHA/BHA) or a retinoid at night, this cream is an excellent, soothing final step to apply afterwards to calm the skin and lock in hydration. It helps reduce potential irritation from stronger products.

• Immediate: Skin feels soothed, hydrated, and comfortable. Any tightness from cleansing is relieved. The finish is soft and non-greasy.
• 2–4 Weeks: You may notice a reduction in general redness and sensitivity. Skin feels more balanced and resilient. Dry patches become smoother.
• 4–8+ Weeks: With consistent use, the skin's moisture barrier becomes stronger. Skin appears healthier, more even-toned, and feels less reactive to environmental triggers.

Results are based on ingredient rationale and aggregated user experiences. Consistent use, especially with daily sunscreen, is key to achieving and maintaining results.

Myth: "My skin is oily, so I shouldn't use a moisturiser."

Reality: Oily skin can still be dehydrated (lacking water), which can cause it to produce even more oil to compensate. Using a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturiser like this one helps balance your skin by providing necessary hydration. This signals to your skin that it doesn't need to overproduce oil, leading to a more balanced and less shiny complexion over time. A healthy moisture barrier is essential for all skin types.

• Works Well With: This cream is designed to be compatible with almost all ingredients. It's excellent for layering over hydrating toners, essences (like snail mucin or hyaluronic acid), and serums (like Niacinamide or Vitamin C). It's particularly beneficial when used after exfoliants (AHA, BHA) or retinoids to soothe the skin.
• Use Carefully: No major conflicts. The only consideration is texture. If layering with a facial oil, apply the oil *after* this cream has fully absorbed to seal everything in.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to broken or infected skin.

• Excellent for: Normal, Combination, Oily, Sensitive, Acne-Prone skin.
• Good for: Mature skin looking for a lightweight daily moisturiser.
• Use with caution: Very dry skin types might find this cream a bit too light, especially during the drier winter months in Mauritius. They may need to layer it over a richer serum or add a facial oil on top.

This cream is formulated to help with:

• Redness and irritation
• A compromised or weakened skin barrier
• Dehydrated skin that still feels oily
• General sensitivity and reactivity
• Improving skin texture and fine lines due to dehydration

• MFDS Classification: Functional Cosmetic for Brightening & Wrinkle-Improving. (식품의약품안전처 기능성 화장품)
• Functional Ingredients: Niacinamide (for brightening) and Adenosine (for wrinkle improvement).
• Clinical Evidence: The brand has conducted tests on the soothing and barrier-strengthening effects of its Centella line. However, specific datasets for this cream (n, duration, protocol) are not publicly available for independent review. Claims are primarily based on ingredient rationale.

“Brightening” refers to radiance/even tone (e.g., sun spots/PIH); it does not change natural skin color.

Key Ingredients Explained:

• Centella Asiatica Extract: The star ingredient. Sourced from Madagascar, this powerful botanical extract is known for its ability to calm inflammation, soothe redness, and promote skin healing and repair.
• Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A multi-tasking hero that helps to brighten skin tone, reduce the appearance of pores, regulate oil production, and strengthen the skin barrier.
• Adenosine: A yeast-derived ingredient that functions as a soothing and skin-restoring agent. It has proven anti-wrinkle benefits and helps to energise the skin's surface, leading to a smoother, more youthful appearance.
• Ceramide NP: A skin-identical lipid that is crucial for a healthy skin barrier. It helps to lock in moisture, prevent water loss, and protect the skin from external irritants.

• Fragrance Status: Fragrance-Free. This product contains no synthetic fragrances or essential oils.
• Scent: The product has a very faint, neutral scent from its base ingredients. Intensity: 0/5.
• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand. Formulated to be gentle for sensitive skin.

Who should use it: Ideal for anyone with normal to oily, combination, or sensitive skin looking for a daily moisturiser that soothes and strengthens the skin barrier.

Who should be cautious: While formulated for sensitive skin, individual reactions are always possible. Those with very dry skin may need a richer cream.

Pregnancy & Breastfeeding: Contains low concentrations of generally safe ingredients. However, it's always best to consult with your doctor before introducing new skincare products during this time.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount to a small, discreet area, like behind your ear or on your inner jawline.
2. Wait 24 hours to observe any signs of irritation.
3. If no reaction occurs, re-check the area at 48 and 72 hours.
4. If you experience any redness, itching, or burning, discontinue use.

• Texture: A smooth, mid-weight cream that feels nourishing but not heavy. Spreads easily.
• Finish: Dries down to a soft, velvety, natural skin finish. It is not overly dewy or matte.
• Scent: None.
• pH: Not publicly disclosed by the brand, but likely formulated to be mildly acidic (pH 5.0-6.5) to support the skin barrier.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains some ingredients that could potentially be a trigger for fungal acne (e.g., C30-45 Alkyl Cetearyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer). Patch testing is advised for those with this condition.

• "The cream is pilling or balling up."
  • Cause: This usually happens from applying too much product or not allowing previous layers (like a serum) to absorb fully.
  • Solution: Use a smaller, pea-sized amount. Wait at least 60 seconds after your serum before applying the cream, and another 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen.
• "My skin still feels a bit dry."
  • Cause: This cream is lightweight. Very dry skin or skin in a dry, air-conditioned environment may need more moisture.
  • Solution: Apply the cream onto slightly damp skin to lock in more water. You can also layer a hydrating essence underneath or mix in 1-2 drops of a facial oil (like squalane) for an extra boost.

• Humid Summer: The lightweight, non-greasy texture makes it an excellent choice for Mauritius's humid months. For oily and combination skin, it provides enough hydration without feeling heavy or sticky. You might find it sufficient to use under sunscreen in the morning without an extra moisturiser.
• Drier Winter/AC Exposure: During the slightly cooler, drier winter or if you spend a lot of time in air-conditioning, you may want to enhance its hydrating properties. Apply it over a hydrating toner (like the SKIN1004 Centella Toning Toner) to boost moisture.
• Storage: Keep the tube in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, like a drawer or cabinet, to maintain the stability of the active ingredients. Avoid storing it in a hot car.

What's the difference between this Centella Cream and the Centella Soothing Cream?

The Centella Cream (this product) has a richer, creamier texture and is more focused on barrier repair and deeper moisture. The Centella Soothing Cream has a very lightweight, gel-cream texture and is more focused on immediate cooling and soothing for oilier, more irritated skin.

Is this cream good for acne-prone skin?

Yes, it can be. Its soothing and anti-inflammatory properties can help calm redness from breakouts. Its lightweight texture is also suitable for many acne-prone skin types. However, if you have active, persistent acne, the Tea-Trica line from SKIN1004 might be more targeted.

Can I use this as an eye cream?

While it is gentle, it is not specifically tested for the eye area. It's best to avoid applying it directly on your mobile eyelids or too close to the lash line. You can gently pat it along the orbital bone (the bone under your eye).

Will this leave my skin greasy?

For most skin types (normal, combination, oily), it absorbs well and leaves a soft, non-greasy finish. Only very oily skin types might find it a bit much for daytime use in extreme humidity.

Best For: Individuals with normal to combination, sensitive skin who need a reliable, soothing daily moisturiser to strengthen their skin barrier and reduce redness.

Key Benefits:

• Effectively calms irritation and redness.
• Strengthens the skin's moisture barrier over time.
• Provides balanced hydration without a heavy or greasy feel.
