Skin1004 stripped everything back and asked: what's the minimum needed to soothe, hydrate, and repair sensitised skin? The answer is the Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Asiatica Ampoule — a seven-ingredient formula with Centella Asiatica Extract at its core, packaged in a lightweight, water-gel consistency that applies like water and absorbs like nothing.

The formula contains exactly what it needs to and nothing extra. Centella Asiatica Extract is the hero — Skin1004's sourcing from Madagascar, the plant's origin region, is notable because the climate, altitude, and growing conditions in Madagascar produce centella with characteristically high concentrations of its active centellosides: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid, and madecassic acid. These compounds are the reason centella has decades of research supporting its wound-healing, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and barrier-rebuilding properties. Glycerin provides humectant hydration. Butylene Glycol acts as a solvent and penetration enhancer, helping the centella actives absorb efficiently. Cellulose Gum gives the formula its characteristic lightweight gel texture. 1,2-Hexanediol and Ethylhexylglycerin are preservatives.

The result is a calming treatment serum for skin that is irritated, reactive, post-procedure, sunburned, or simply exhausted — one that works by removing all irritant variables and delivering the single most well-researched soothing botanical in skincare.

Sul Skin note: The starting point for sensitive skin and a cornerstone of Skin1004's range. Pairs beautifully with the Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam as a double-cleanse-and-calm morning routine.
