#1 KOREAN SKINCARE BRAND - The Best Korean Skin care Brand 2023

"The original product that kick-started it all is this Skin1004 Centella Ampoule. So this is just a super high concentration of centella asiatica. So if you want your centella fix and you want it well formulated, well sourced in a super high concentration, this is kind of it. It looks beautiful, I mean the packaging has to be visually appealing. It looks way more expensive than what you actually pay for it. For people that just want a real super simple, well-sourced, super well formulated high concentration centella serum, it's going to be really hard to beat this one."

Korean Skincare In Trouble - THE END FOR CENTELLA ASIATICA?

"Skin1004 claimed their product was 100% centella asiatica extract which now everyone says it's actually 5%. They put a number on it and that number was so misleading and vastly different to what was actually in here, 3 to 5%. This does definitely seem a little bit deceptive. I do think they knew what they were doing and they could have been a lot more transparent. I've used this for the longest time and loved it because I thought I was getting a super high dose of centella asiatica, turns out I wasn't. My skin loves centella asiatica even in lower concentrations such as 2, 3, or 5% and it still gives a great benefit: calming, soothing, restoring the barrier function of the skin. It doesn't need to be 100% to be effective, but I know that this will have left a bit of a bad taste in a lot of consumers' mouths, feeling that maybe we've just been a little bit misled."

THE TRUTH ABOUT VITAMIN C - How To Use Vitamin C Like A Pro

"This is the Skin1004 Centella Ampoule. This is really inexpensive. Use this alongside your vitamin C and that just helps you to achieve this pairing. It doesn't really matter what order you do it in. You can do Centella first or you can do vitamin C first. It really makes no difference. Just make sure that you have both of these ingredients somewhere in your skincare routine."

How to Fix Dehydrated Skin: Best Hydrating Products of the Year

"Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule is so hydrating, very gentle. Centella I love because it's an ingredient that has multiple properties, especially wound healing and soothing properties. Plus there's some evidence behind it that helps with stretch marks and even wound healing. I like to put it over scars. So if you have post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, you have irritation after a rash, after acne, you can go ahead and use Centella-containing products over the skin. And it's very lightweight, almost a watery texture, but goes on with plumping action. So I love this one."

"For the summer, I would get the Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule, which is very lightweight hydration at a very reasonable price. It also has Centella Asiatica, which is said to be soothing and have other skin beneficial benefits. I know some people say it doesn't do much, but for me it does what it's supposed to do. It leaves my skin feeling hydrated and calm and it feels like absolutely nothing when applied. So no matter how hot it is outside, I really enjoy putting it on before I follow up with my serum step."

"The Skin 1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule is great for lightweight hydration and a little soothing. I used it a lot during summer when I just wanted something that felt like nothing but offered extra hydration, and during the fall months too. I know some people complain it doesn't do much, and I get that, it's just lightweight hydration, but if you're oily, acne prone, or don't like to layer too many products, that's one I'd recommend you check out."

"I use a lightweight layer of hydration, the same I use during summer, the Skin1004 Centella Ampoule. It absorbs easily. It isn't the absolute utmost hydrating. I think I will move on to something more substantial when it gets colder, but for now it's like a good layer."

"My first experience with this brand was their Centella Ampoule and their Centella toning toner, which was kind of right when I was starting to get really interested in K beauty stuff. Their toners and moisturizer are great. Can't go wrong with Skin1004."

"Centella is anti-inflammatory so you may find that this product is nice if you have a lot of irritation as like the first step in your skincare routine to calm the skin. It also has glycerin so it's pretty hydrating. This wasn't like my all-time favorite ampoule or serum that I've ever used but it was okay."

"I saw they had the Centella Ampoule which I tried a couple of years ago and I don't think I was impressed with that. This is the Madagascar Centella with the Probiotic Intensive Ampoule and the ferment in this I think is what takes it above and beyond the Centella Ampoule. It has a creamier milkier slippery texture and I'm a big fan of that slip and slide and glide. I love the slippery slimies, the ferments, all that juicy juicy juicy goodness."
