If your skin often feels irritated, red, or sensitive from the sun and humidity, this duo offers a simple, powerful solution. The Centella Ampoule is a watery serum that instantly soothes and helps repair your skin barrier. The Hyalu-Cica Sun Serum provides essential daily sun protection in a lightweight, hydrating formula that feels like nothing on the skin, with no white cast.

• Good For: All skin types, especially sensitive, irritated, acne-prone, and dehydrated skin.
• Feels Like: The Ampoule is watery and absorbs instantly. The Sun Serum is a lightweight, lotion-like serum.
• Helps With: Redness, sensitivity, dehydration, sun protection, and barrier repair.

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean base.
2. Madagascar Centella Ampoule: Apply 2-3 drops to soothe and hydrate.
3. Hyalu-Cica Sun Serum (AM only): Finish with two-finger lengths to protect your skin. In the PM, use your favourite moisturiser instead.

Note: Already own a soothing serum or sunscreen? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).

Minimalist (3 steps):

1. Cleanser
2. Madagascar Centella Ampoule: 2-3 drops patted into the skin for calming hydration.
3. Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum: Two-finger lengths for face and neck as your final step.

Wait times: Allow the ampoule 30-60 seconds to absorb before applying sunscreen.

Minimalist (3 steps):

1. Cleanser: Double-cleanse if you wore makeup or water-resistant sunscreen (oil cleanser then water-based cleanser).
2. Madagascar Centella Ampoule: 2-3 drops to soothe and repair skin overnight.
3. Moisturiser: A simple moisturiser to lock in hydration.

1. Madagascar Centella Ampoule (AM/PM)

• Amount: 2–3 drops.
• Apply to: Clean face and neck.
• Method: After cleansing and toning, apply the drops and gently pat until fully absorbed.
• Frequency: Can be used daily, both morning and night.

2. Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum (AM Only)

• Amount: The "two-finger" rule (dispense a line of product on your index and middle fingers) for the face and neck.
• Apply to: All areas exposed to the sun.
• Method: Apply as the final step of your morning skincare routine, 15 minutes before sun exposure. Pat gently for absorption.
• Frequency: Every morning. Reapply every 2-3 hours if you are outdoors, sweating, or swimming.

• Daily AM: Centella Ampoule → Hyalu-Cica Sun Serum.
• Daily PM: Centella Ampoule → Moisturiser.
• If using other actives (e.g., Retinol, AHA/BHA): Use them at night on alternating days. The Centella Ampoule is gentle and can be used on the same night to help buffer potential irritation. For example:
  • Mon PM: Exfoliant (AHA/BHA) → Centella Ampoule → Moisturiser
  • Tue PM: Centella Ampoule → Moisturiser (Soothing Night)
  • Wed PM: Retinoid → Centella Ampoule → Moisturiser

Mauritius note: The lightweight textures of both products are ideal for the hot and humid climate, providing necessary hydration and protection without feeling heavy or greasy.

• Immediate: Skin feels instantly hydrated and soothed. The Sun Serum provides a dewy, non-greasy finish with no white cast.
• 2–4 weeks: With consistent use of the ampoule, you may notice a visible reduction in redness and irritation. The skin's moisture barrier begins to feel stronger and more resilient.
• 4–8+ weeks: Skin appears calmer, more balanced, and healthier. Consistent sun protection helps prevent new sun spots and signs of aging, allowing your skin tone to look more even.

• Why use a tested Sunscreen, not DIY mixes? Sunscreen formulation is a complex science ensuring stable, broad-spectrum protection. DIY concoctions with oils or zinc powder do not provide reliable or safe protection against Mauritius' high UV index, leaving you at risk for burns and long-term skin damage. This sun serum is lab-tested to guarantee its SPF 50+ PA++++ rating.
• Why use a Centella Ampoule, not harsh treatments for irritation? When skin is red and irritated, harsh scrubs or strong alcohol-based toners can further damage the skin barrier, making things worse. The 100% Centella Asiatica extract in this ampoule calms inflammation and supports the skin’s natural healing process, strengthening it over time.

• Madagascar Centella Ampoule:
  • Works with: Almost everything. It's an excellent buffer to use before or after stronger actives like retinoids, Vitamin C, or exfoliating acids (AHA/BHA) to reduce potential irritation. It layers well with hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and peptides.
  • Use carefully with: No major conflicts. It's a very versatile and gentle product.
• Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum:
  • Layering Rule: This is always the last step of your morning skincare routine, before makeup.
  • Works with: Any routine. Its lightweight texture layers beautifully over other serums and moisturisers without pilling. It can also serve as a hydrating primer under makeup.

• Oily & Acne-Prone: Excellent. The Centella Ampoule is non-comedogenic and helps calm breakouts. The Sun Serum is lightweight and non-greasy, making it comfortable for oily skin, though some may find the dewy finish a bit too much and prefer to skip moisturiser underneath.
• Dry & Dehydrated: Excellent. Both products provide significant hydration. The Sun Serum's moisturizing properties are particularly beneficial for dry skin.
• Combination: Excellent. The ampoule helps balance the skin, and the sun serum provides hydration without being heavy on the T-zone.
• Sensitive: Excellent. This duo is specifically designed for sensitive skin. The ampoule is pure Centella extract, known for its soothing properties, and the sun serum is formulated to be gentle while providing high protection. As always, a patch test is advised.

• Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum: Fragrance-free. It has no added artificial fragrance or essential oils. EU Allergens: None declared.

Who should use this duo? Ideal for all skin types, especially those looking to calm sensitive skin and get daily, non-irritating sun protection.

Who should use with caution? While formulated for sensitive skin, it's always wise to check the ingredient list for any personal allergens. Those with very oily skin might find the sun serum's dewy finish too glowy for their preference.

Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a pea-sized amount of each product (separately) to a small, clean area of skin, like behind your ear or on your jawline. Wait 24-48 hours to check for any signs of irritation like redness, itching, or burning. If any reaction occurs, discontinue use.

Safety Note for Sunscreen: Avoid inhalation. It's best to dispense the sun serum into your palms first and then apply to the face.

• Madagascar Centella Ampoule:
  • Texture: Very lightweight, watery liquid.
  • Finish: Absorbs completely with no residue, leaving skin feeling hydrated and refreshed.
  • pH: Approximately 6.0 (mildly acidic).
  • Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Suitability: Generally considered FA-safe as it contains only Centella Asiatica extract.
• Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum:
  • Texture: A lightweight, creamy serum-lotion. Spreads easily.
  • Finish: Leaves a dewy, moisturized glow with no stickiness or greasiness once absorbed.
  • Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Suitability: Contains Polyglyceryl-3 Methylglucose Distearate which may be a potential trigger for some. Individual responses vary.

• Issue: Sunscreen is pilling (rubbing off in little balls).
  • Quick Fix: This usually happens from applying too much product underneath or not waiting long enough between layers. Try using a smaller amount of your morning moisturiser, or let it absorb for a full 1-2 minutes before applying the sun serum. Gently pat the sunscreen on instead of rubbing.
• Issue: My skin feels a bit sticky after applying the sun serum.
  • Quick Fix: You might be using a little too much. Try applying a slightly thinner layer. The dewy finish can also feel this way initially; give it a few minutes to set completely. If you have very oily skin, you can set it with a light translucent powder.
• Issue: I'm not seeing results from the ampoule.
  • Quick Fix: The Centella Ampoule is a soothing and repairing product, not a strong active. Its effects are often subtle. Many users report they only notice how much it was helping their skin's resilience *after* they stop using it. Give it at least 4 weeks of consistent use to support your skin barrier.

This duo is exceptionally well-suited for the Mauritian climate.

• Humid Summers: The lightweight, watery texture of the ampoule provides hydration without adding any weight. The sun serum feels refreshing and non-greasy, even in high humidity, and its dewy finish gives a healthy glow rather than an oily shine. For very oily skin, the sun serum may be hydrating enough to replace a separate morning moisturiser.
• Drier/Cooler Winters: Both products provide excellent base hydration. You can easily layer a richer cream over the ampoule at night for extra comfort.
• Indoor/AC Environments: The hydrating properties of the Hyalu-Cica formula help counteract the drying effects of air conditioning, keeping your skin balanced and comfortable all day.

This duo is an excellent choice if your primary concerns are soothing sensitive or irritated skin while getting daily, hydrating sun protection. However, consider these alternatives from our catalog if your goals differ:

• For More Intensive Brightening: AXIS-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum — Choose this if your main goal is to fade dark spots and even out your skin tone. It contains 5% Niacinamide and is specifically formulated for hyperpigmentation.
  • Pair it with: Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun : Rice + Probiotics for a similarly comfortable, protective sunscreen.
• For More Potent Acne Care: SOME BY MI AHA BHA PHA 30 Days Miracle Serum — Choose this if you have active, persistent acne and clogged pores. It combines chemical exfoliants with tea tree to actively treat breakouts.
• For a Different Sunscreen Finish (Matte): SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Air-Fit Suncream Plus — If you have very oily skin or prefer a matte finish, this mineral sunscreen is a great alternative. It controls sebum and leaves no shine.

Mindful Use: If you already have a comparable soothing serum or sunscreen at home, we encourage you to finish it first. This helps you get a fair assessment of its results and reduces waste.

• Ampoule: Comes in a 50ml glass bottle with a dropper applicator for hygienic and precise dispensing.
• Sun Serum: Comes in a 50ml plastic bottle with an airless pump to protect the formula from contamination and oxidation.
• Sustainability: The outer boxes are made from paper. Please recycle the glass bottle and check local guidelines for the plastic pump bottle.
• Storage: Store both products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain the stability of the ingredients.

Note: The following are aggregated sentiments from real users on platforms like Reddit and YesStyle. Individual results can vary.

On the Centella Ampoule:

"My holy grail! I have very sensitive and acne-prone skin and it calms it down so much. It also helps calm down my fungal acne flare ups. If you don't have sensitive skin it may not do anything for you, but if you do it's a godsend." - Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2024)

On the Hyalu-Cica Sun Serum:

"I often end up hating these over-hyped sunscreens... but this one is the perfect blend of moisturizing while not being greasy. I love everything from the package itself to the natural, slightly glowy finish. I also don't use a moisturizer underneath this one." - Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2025)

A Fair Caveat:

"The [sun serum] is hydrating enough that it works well even without layering a cream... That said, it doesn't hold up well against sweat, so I wouldn't recommend it for hot and humid days [with intense activity]." - Reddit, r/AsianBeauty (2025)

At Adilsons, we are committed to providing you with 100% authentic, high-quality K-beauty products. We carefully curate our selection based on efficacy, safety, and ethical formulation, ensuring you receive only the best for your skin. Your trust and skin health are our top priorities.

Can I use the Centella Ampoule if I have oily, acne-prone skin?

Absolutely. The ampoule is extremely lightweight and non-comedogenic. Its soothing properties can help calm redness and inflammation associated with breakouts.

Will the Hyalu-Cica Sun Serum sting my eyes?

It is formulated to be gentle, and most users report that it does not sting their eyes, which is a common issue with chemical sunscreens. However, individual sensitivity varies.

Is this duo suitable for pregnancy?

The Centella Ampoule is generally considered safe. The sun serum uses modern chemical filters that are also widely considered safe for use during pregnancy, but we always recommend consulting with your doctor before introducing new skincare products during this time.

Do I need a separate moisturiser with this duo?

For your PM routine, yes, a moisturiser is recommended to lock in the ampoule's benefits. For your AM routine, it depends on your skin type. Dry skin types will benefit from a moisturiser before the sun serum. Oily and combination skin types may find the sun serum is hydrating enough on its own.

Best For: Individuals with sensitive, irritated, or dehydrated skin who want a simple, effective routine for calming and protecting their complexion.

Key Benefits:

• Intensely soothes and calms redness and irritation.
• Provides lightweight, deep hydration.
