Madagascar Centella Ampoule

Layers it with a milky toner in winter for extra hydration on oily, dehydrated skin.

“It's probably not hydrating enough on it's own during the winter, I use it along with the Skin1004 Centella Ampoule.”

On their fourth 95 ml bottle: the only barrier serum that works for their very oily, acne-prone skin on adapalene; it doesn't break them out despite its thicker texture.

“it's the only barrier serum that works for my acne prone skin”

They find it a really good product, unlike the 4/10 rating in the post.

“I guess it varies from person to person and from skin to skin :) I find it to be a really good product.”

A whole bottle did nothing noticeable for their skin.

“I finished an entire bottle of the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule and I don't think it did anything for my skin.”

A tretinoin user finds the Centella Ampoule calms flaking, helps their barrier and leaves skin bouncy and glowy.

After five years of twice-daily use, a user says the Centella Ampoule maintains their barrier alongside tretinoin and acids.

“I’ve been using this ampoule twice a day for five years now.”

An oily, sensitive acne-prone user finds the Centella Ampoule basic but hydrating; they might repurchase.

After two uses, a user found the Centella Ampoule irritating, acne-causing and not hydrating.

“I think this irritated my skin just from two uses and caused acne.”

A user loves the Centella Ampoule in their summer routine without oiliness, though it doesn't do much beyond keeping skin calm.

“I love it but hesitate to recommend it because yeah, it doesn’t really “do” much.”

A user found the Centella Ampoule lightly hydrating but too much centella; they got bumps with repeated use.

“I would get bumps if I used it too many days in a row”

A user found the SKIN1004 Centella Ampoule broke them out and irritated their eyes.

No breakouts or irritation, but no visible results either.

“Skin1004 madagascar centella ampoule. It didn't break me out nor irritated my skin but it didn't improve anything on my face either. It's like I was just applying water on my face. Literally nothing happened.”

A new user feels a warming sensation on cheeks and nose from the Centella Ampoule and finds it somewhat oily.

“I recently purchased this product and have noticed a warming sensation on my cheeks and nose.”

Brought their itchy, rashy damaged barrier back to normal, though effects show mainly on a disrupted barrier.

“using the Madagascar centella ampoule from skin1004 brought it back to normal. So it works but probably won’t notice it unless you have a disrupt skin barrier.”

A user with normal-to-dry skin who never gets pimples broke out after the first use of the Centella Ampoule.

A tretinoin user didn't notice the ampoule working until they stopped and their skin missed it.

“I didn't think it did anything, and didn't jump to buy a second bottle when I finished the first, but my skin really missed it when I stopped using it.”

A user with very sensitive skin found the Centella Ampoule irritating.

“Centella (shockingly and sadly) irritates my skin somehow, so this didn’t work for me.”

Starting tretinoin, a user got small pimples from the Centella Ampoule that turned into slow-healing wounds; their skin cleared within days of stopping.

“I was getting really small pimples that would ALL turn to open wounds and take forever to heal.”

Finishing a 100 ml bottle and repurchasing, a user only saw what the ampoule did when they went without it and their skin turned dull and red.

“I didn’t notice any difference until I forgot to bring it on a trip with me and my skin looked more dull/red after just a few days without using it.”

A user relies on the Centella Ampoule as the only product they can use on skin irritated by Differin, BP or exfoliation; it helps redness and barrier.

Using just the ampoule and sunscreen, a user's skin is noticeably smoother and glowier with no pimples or redness since starting.

“I can confidently say that the "smoothnes" and "glow" of my skin has improved significantly”

“the centella ampoule added benefits for restoring the skin barrier and calming redness”

A dry-skinned tretinoin user enjoyed the watery, fragrance-free Centella Ampoule for hydration and redness, though preferred two other SKIN1004 serums.

“Its like water and has no smell. Its hydrating and helps with redness, so I would say its good.”

Finishing a bottle, a user won't repurchase: not bad, but they didn't notice much calming.

“I’m about to empty my bottle of it and won’t repurchase it. Wasn’t a bad product, but I don’t think centella is what my skin needs.”

Trying to calm an over-exfoliated barrier, a user found the Centella Ampoule did the exact opposite and inflamed their face.

“Apparently centella is supposed to calm inflammation but the product did the EXACT opposite to my face.”

A user found the Centella Ampoule left an oily layer that didn't absorb, and dropped it.

“I really wanted to like this but it wasn't as lightweight as others said it was on my skin.”

Three months of use cleared their redness and irritation.

“started using skin 1004 madagascar centella ampoule 3 months ago and i have no redness/irritation now.”
