Top features
SKIN1004 Probio Cica Intensive Ampoule is a lightweight centella (cica) serum rather than a traditional balm or ointment—it bridges the gap between treatment serum and barrier repair. Formulated with fermented centella, ceramides, panthenol, and betaine, it's designed to calm irritation, reinforce the skin barrier, and deliver hydration without a sticky finish.
Key actives & benefits:
- Fermented centella asiatica (probiotics + madecassoside derivative)
- Ceramides + panthenol for barrier support
- Lightweight ampoule texture; absorbs quickly
- Non-comedogenic, dermatologically tested
- Safe for sensitive skin
Typical uses: Daily serum layer under moisturizer for irritated, reactive, or compromised skin; post-procedure support; gentle enough for eczema-prone individuals.
Texture & feel: High-concentration but liquidy; no residue or stickiness—more hydrating essence than occlusive balm. Suits combination and sensitive skin types better than very dry patches that need true ointment thickness.
Brand: SKIN1004 is a growing Korean indie with solid Reddit presence in r/SkincareAddiction for cica formulas, though less globally established than La Roche-Posay or Avène. Strong value proposition at ~$15–16 per bottle.
