The SKIN1004 Ampoule Foam thoroughly cleanses without drying out skin, so it's a perfect choice for tired, stressed-out skin. And the pH level of 5 is ideal for a gentle, well-balanced cleanse. It promises to remove 92.69% of impurities. My skin easily dries out, that’s why I am very particular with the cleanser I use. I personally like using this cleanser every morning and before I do my makeup as it keeps my skin hydrated. Though you’ll need to double cleanse to thoroughly remove all the makeup and impurities you had on. But since I rarely wear full makeup, this really doesn’t matter to me. Hehe.
Ultimately, this cleanser is exactly what it claims to be: a gentle, skin-balancing wash that will leave your face feeling clean and refreshed—and soft and smooth to the touch.

I’m not really a fan of oil cleansers probably because I rarely do my makeup like I did before. But one thing I noticed about SKIN1004 Centella Light Cleansing Oil is how less oily it is. I usually spend at least 3 washes before I completely remove the oiliness from an oil cleanser but that is not the case with this one. Also, I don’t like using any oil-based cleansers whenever I have a breakout and it just so happens that I had one during the time that I was testing it out. It doesn’t feel heavy and thoroughly cleanses the dirt while being gentle on the skin. My breakout appeared less bumpy as well.

SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Toning Toner, 400 ml
When it comes to skincare, toners are often forgotten. Well, not to me. Toners are actually one of the things I can’t live without.
SKIN1004 Centella Toning Toner works together with the SKIN1004 Cleansing Foam to optimize the skin's pH level after cleansing. It contains PHA which does mild exfoliator; this toner is a great way to keep your skin looking youthful and refined. Its consistency is not as runny compared to other brands, it’s definitely thicker than water but gets absorbed by the skin just the same.

SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Soothing Cream, 75 ml
SKIN1004 Centella Soothing Cream quickly absorbs into the skin and does not leave any sticky feeling behind. I also like its minimalist, all-white packaging. I’d say that this product line has the same quality – its mild scent. A pea size is enough to cover my whole face – this will probably last for at least a month and a half with daily use.
SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule, 100 ml
This is probably my most favorite product among this product line. SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule is packages in a brownish clear glass bottle and comes with a dropper. Its mild, light, and gentle on the skin – perfect for those with sensitive skin. This ampoule can help strengthen the skin barrier thanks to 100% Centella Asiatica Extract as its key ingredient is also good for a soothing effect.
I use about 3-4 drops daily during my night routine before applying my moisturizer. Compared to other ampoule brands I’ve used before; this one is definitely not sticky on skin. You can actually proceed with your next skincare after at least 30-40 seconds as it gets absorbs and soothes the skin quickly. It’s not as moisturizing as I thought it would be though but that’s where the SKIN1004 Centella Cream comes in.
SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Cream, 75 ml
I love applying SKIN1004 Centella Cream right after the Ampoule. It leaves my skin feeling plump, refreshed, and hydrated thanks to being packed with centella asiatica extract, squalene, and niacinamide. It does the job which is to moisturize but to see the best result, I recommend partnering it with the ampoule. Doing so for almost two weeks of usage left my face feeling soft and smooth.
Overall Performance
To sum it all up, this SKIN1004 Centella Basic 5 Line did helped flatten my pimples. I used these products for about 8 days and started seeing result around the 4th day. What I do for this new routine is cleanse > tone > ampoule > cream /soothing cream. I alternately use the cream and soothing cream, the cream on normal days and soothing cream after hours of working out at the gym. I feel like my skin needed an extra soothing and loving care after sweating so much.
We all have our own skin type and conditions, what worked on me might not work on you. Aside from my skincare routine, I am also taking supplements that are good for the skin so the effect might not all because of SKIN1004 but it surely helped make my breakouts heal faster.
If you tried lots of products and have no idea what's working for you, adding SKIN1004 Centella Line on your skincare arsenal might be the answer.
