SKIN1004: the Korean reference for Centella Asiatica

The SKIN1004 rangeis based on one active ingredient: Centella Asiatica from Madagascar, harvested in a pollution-free area and known for its high concentration of asiaticoside. This selection brings together the brand's most effective products, from Centella ampoulesto SKIN1004 sunscreens, as well as cleansers and serums. Whether you have sensitive, combination, or reactive skin, SKIN1004 formulas are designed to soothe, repair, and strengthen the skin barrier without irritation.

What sets this selection apart: SKIN1004 applies a logic of concentration rather than marketing. The flagship ampoule contains 100% Centella Asiatica extract, without water or alcohol to dilute the formula. Each product available here has been tested and selected for its consistency within a K-Beauty routine, not just to fill a catalog.

How to choose your SKIN1004 product?

Three criteria determine most situations: your skin type, the routine step concerned, and your current level of skin reactivity. Oily or combination skin will find fluid textures (ampoule, sun serum) suitable, while dry or compromised skin benefits more from the emollient formulas in the Probio-Cica range.

SKIN1004 for oily or combination skin: which products?

TheCentella ampouleand the Sun Serum SPF 50+are the two SKIN1004 products best suited for oily and combination skin. The ampoule has no emollient base; it penetrates without leaving a film. The sun serum replaces your morning moisturizer: one step instead of two, no more pilling between skincare and sun protection.

For reactive combination skin, introduce only one product at a time. 2 to 3 weeksare enough to assess tolerance before adding a second active ingredient to your routine.

SKIN1004 and retinol: can they be combined?

Yes, and it's even a common combination. SKIN1004's centella counteracts retinol-induced irritation: it accelerates barrier repair and reduces flaking in the first weeks of use. The logical order: retinol at night on dry skin, then the centella ampoule in between or as a final layer.

Avoid applying retinol and the ampoule simultaneously at first: bufferingworks better if the two products are separated by 5 to 10 minutesof absorption time.

SKIN1004 ampoule or cream: what's the concrete difference?

The Centella Asiatica 100% ampoule is a pure concentrate, without thickening agents or emollients. It treats, it doesn't nourish. The Soothing cream or Probio-Cica, on the other hand, create a light occlusion that seals in active ingredients and strengthens the barrier over time. In practice: the ampoule is used as a targeted or curative treatment, the cream as a daily maintenance product.

The two are not redundant: many layer them in a classic K-Beauty routine, with the ampoule as the penultimate step and the cream as the last.

Holy Skin's Advice

Cédric Meyer, co-founder of Holy Skin, regularly observes the same purchasing mistakes for the SKIN1004 range:

"What I often see: people who buy the Centella ampoule thinking it's a complete treatment. It's a concentrated active ingredient, not a moisturizer. If you use it alone without an occlusive layer afterwards, you're only moisturizing for the duration of absorption, and that's it. Always pair it with a cream, even a light one."

The ampoule works particularly well as an intensive treatment for 4 to 6 weeks during periods of reactivity, then as a maintenance treatment 2 to 3 times a week.

Can I use SKIN1004 during pregnancy?

Most products in the SKIN1004 Centella line are pregnancy-safe, as Centella Asiatica is a non-controversial active ingredient. However, checking the INCI list of each product remains essential, especially for Probio-Cica formulas and sunscreens, which may contain chemical UV filters that should be discussed with a doctor.

As a precaution, the 100% Centella ampoule is often the safest formula to use, as its ingredient list is particularly short. Consult a healthcare professional to validate your complete routine during pregnancy.
