Top features
SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule is a lightweight centella asiatica serum (not a traditional balm) in a compact 30ml bottle. Key actives include centella extract and madecassoside, designed to soothe irritation, calm redness, and support skin barrier recovery. The formula absorbs quickly, making it suitable for sensitive, irritated, and post-procedure skin. SKIN1004 is a rising K-beauty brand with solid reputation in skincare communities for centella-focused formulations. This product occupies the serum tier of the cica category rather than the occlusive balm tier—lighter texture, layerable, best suited to those seeking soothing hydration over occlusive protection. Works well as a pre-serum or mixed into moisturizers for barrier support.
