I've been using this 100% Centella Asiatica Extract by Skin1004 for almost a full month now!
Here are my numerous thoughts about the Madagascar Centella Ampoule✌🏼💞
👀 Packaging : First of all, kudos to Skin1004 for their elegant, minimalist packaging with a fun twist (the hidden picture behind the label). This is still a classic glass bottle with a convenient tilted dropper.
If you love to take "Skincare Shelfies", you sure have a very aesthetic addition with this golden Centella Ampoule.
💧Texture : This Centella Extract is super easy to incorporate in your skincare routine whether you are a "Skinimalist" like me or a "10 steps Korean routine" enthousiast.
My skin immediately "drinks" the lightweight, water-like ampoule without feeling any tackiness or stickiness.
The Madagascar Centella Ampoule is so lightweight that it is easy to quickly apply what comes next in your skincare routine.
💚 100% Centella Asiatica : no essential oils, no fragrance, no unnecessary ingredients!
Skin1004 really said🗣️📢 "NO BS!!!!"👏🏼
💦 Hydrating : This was, and still is, my go-to ampoule for this summer! Lightweight YET hydrating! It is perfect for my oily/combo skin. It is hydrating enough for me to skip my usual moisturizer and directly apply my sunscreen right after this ampoule.
😌🧘♀️ Soothing, Calming : To be honest, my skin barrier is perfectly fine and my skin has never been too prone to irritation, redness or sensitivity.
THAT SAID, like everyone, I've been struggling with anti-Covid face masks for a while because they give me temporary redness and irritation specifically on my nose bridge and cheeks.
I've noticed that consistently applying this ampoule morning and night helped me to keep my skin under control! Annoying patches of redness and irritation got significantly soothed and totally disappeared after multiple uses.
✨🥚 Brightening and Purifying : I really wasn't expecting any brightening effect when I started to use this ampoule. HOWEVER, i quickly noticed a visibly brightened and more even skin tone!
Indeed, by deeply soothing my skin, the Madagascar Centella Ampoule got rid of all the annoying little reactions and imperfections of my skin. Redness patches, sun spots, old dark spots, irritations disappeared to leave my skin bright and clear.
I feel like, not only this ampoule got rid of some of my skin concerns but also PREVENTS them to come back.
👌🏼➕ Best, used with... : Let's be honest, this ampoule ALONE won't be able to repair a very damaged, over-exfoliated skin, especially if you use it only as a "quick fix" product.
On the contrary, I personally think that the key point of this ampoule is CONSISTENCY.
By experience, i know that a very damaged skin needs treatment but also protection on the long term to avoid any "relapsing".
This is why I would recommend to use the Madagascar Centella Soothing Cream and/or the Madagascar Centella Cream on top of this ampoule to SEAL all the goodness and get it done!
💅 Skin Maintenance : As i said earlier, my skin barrier is currently pretty fine despite some little anti-Covid masks related problems. So this is why I use this ampoule for maintenance and prevention purposes!
This product is extremely gentle, hydrating, soothing, purifying, literally all my oily/combo skin likes and needs on an everyday basis.
As a multi-purpose ampoule it helps me to "Keep It Simple" and save many steps in my routine. As a minimalist skincare enthousiast, i really appreciate that.
Will I repurchase this Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule? Yes, absolutely!
It quickly became a Must-Have for my skin, especially because it gets rid of all the little annoying and persisting imperfections that kept going and coming unpredictably.
Also the brightening effect is an unexpected and welcomed cherry on top!!!👏🏼🍧😍ffect
