Truly no negatives - I believe this product would be beneficial to every skin type.

This ampoule is a one ingredient product – 100% Madagascar Centella Asiatica – that should be great for any skin type looking to calm, hydrate, or repair the skin barrier.  My dehydrated and sensitive skin always benefits from hydrating and calming products, and I have learned to include a few great ones in all my routines.  Centella is absolutely one of my skin’s favorite ingredients, and this ampoule will definitely be a staple in my skincare.  

The texture is very thin for an ampoule, more watery as you might expect from a toner.  This also makes it wonderful for a smooth application and quick absorption – I tend to use at least half a dropperful, and it just soaks right in.  It does not leave any stickiness or residue behind, absorbing completely, perfect for layering.  There is no scent (to my hyper-sensitive nose).  My skin feels soothed and hydrated right away, and it helps calm any little bit of redness I have at times.  Skin1004 also indicates that the ampoule can be applied in layers for extra hydration, or soaked on cotton pads to leave on troubled skin for a few extra minutes.

The size of this bottle is 55ml, but a 100ml size is also available - generous amounts at a great price point.  It comes in a solid glass bottle and a glass dropper with an angled tip.  The packaging is appealing because of it’s simplicity.  This is a powerhouse product that feels elegant and is pleasant to apply on a daily basis.

May not provide enough moisture for dry skin types

**  Rovectin is a brand that caters to those with sensitive skin, using gentle ingredients without all the extras.  The Lotus Water Cream is part of their “Rovectin Clean” line, designed with clean, natural ingredients.  It is also 100% vegan.  It comes in a generously sized 60ml white squeeze type bottle, with stickers included to customize the bottle to your liking!

**  Lotus flower extract is the key ingredient, which has properties of self-purification in order to help absorb any toxins out of the skin.  Other ingredients include Aquaxyl for moisturization, Niacinamide, Sweet Almond Oil, Panthenol, and Allantoin.  There are no common irritating ingredients, such as added fragrance or essential oils.

**  This is a moisturizer that Rovectin describes as best for combination to oily skin types – my skin is perpetually dehydrated and leans dry.  I was expecting the Lotus Water Cream to not provide the moisture my skin needed, so I was pleasantly surprised that it seems perfect for me when followed with a hydrating sunscreen!  It definitely provides more moisture than other products I’ve used labeled as “gel creams”, although I’m not sure if it will be just as effective during the cold dry winter where I live.  The cream has no scent and spreads beautifully.  It sinks in and drys down quickly with very little tackiness.

My particular skin type needs a little more hydration in order to use this daily.

Skin1004’s Hyalu-Cica Sun Serum is a chemical sunscreen that claims to be lightweight, yet moisturizing.

Outside of sun protection, it’s main ingredient focus is on the Skin1004 “Hyalu-Cica Formula”, a combination of hyaluronic acid and cica that provides moisture for all skin types, including those with sensitive or dry skin.

** My Experience **

I love the packaging of this sun serum, especially the pump feature!  It definitely feels like a lightweight lotion and applies smoothly.  With my pale skin, there is no whitecast.  It does sink in fairly quickly and initially has a dewy finish – however, within about 15 minutes it settles and then appears much more satin, leaning towards matte.  My skin is easily dehydrated and leans dry, and I felt as if I needed extra moisturizer underneath this sun serum.  Re-application was easy with no pilling.  There is a very mild light natural scent, but my nose is super sensitive.  I wouldn’t be surprised if most users do not even notice it.  This is a great sunscreen that hits a ton of high points and would be suitable for most skin types.
