🌟Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Tone Brightening Capsule Ampoule🌟
I received this product for free from Picky and Skin1004 in exchange for my honest review.
I’ve became a fan of Skin1004 brand ever since trying their Madagascar Centella Ampoule and Zombie Pack. I absolutely loved both, so was really excited about the opportunity to try more products from the brand!
Madagascar Centella Tone Brightening Capsule Ampoule is mildly acidic, intensive brightening ampoule with soothing and skin barrier strengthening properties that is suitable for all skin types, including sensitive skin.
🌟Key ingredients:
✔️77% Centella Asiatica Extract
✔️Niacinamide
✔️Tranexamic Acid
✔️3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid
✔️Lactobacillus Ferment
✔️MadeWhite - patented brightening ingredient that contains Madecassoside obtained from Madagascar Centella Asiatica
🌟Packaging/Texture:
The ampoule comes in 100ml glass dropper bottle and is a clear, scentless, slightly viscous liquid with plenty of white capsules that are dissolving upon application.
🌟My experience:
First of all, the texture and the packaging of this ampoule is beautiful which is quite important part of overall experience with the product for me!
It easily glides on the skin, absorbs well and doesn’t leave my skin sticky.
I’m finding it quite hydrating for my oily skin and love it’s soothing effect on my occasional breakouts and redness around the nose.
However, I didn’t notice any brightening effect of it on my skin. I don’t have any dark spots on my face, but have some stubborn red marks (PIH) which I usually treat with Vitamins C serum. To test this ampoule properly, I’ve stopped using Vitamin C for 3 weeks and just used Tone Brightening Capsule Ampoule instead. Unfortunately, this ampoule alone didn’t help much with fading PIH marks, neither did it improve the overall tone of my complexion. I guess my skin is just used to stronger formulations.
Nevertheless, I’m still enjoying using this ampoule and appreciate it’s hydrating and soothing properties.
Update!!!
I’ve already tested this product in the past and finished my previous 100 ml bottle, but my long-term use experience is still consistent with the first few weeks’ impression I posted previously. Testing it a second time only reinforced my opinion of this product.
The ampoule has a very visually appealing texture that is clear, slightly viscous, scentless liquid with dissolvable white capsules. It glides smoothly on the skin, absorbs well without leaving a sticky residue, and provides good hydration for oily skin. It also helps soothe breakouts and some mild redness around my nose.
However, despite its claims, the ampoule didn’t have significant brightening effects. The first time I tried it, I stopped using my Vitamin C serum for 3 weeks to test the product on its own. It didn’t make a difference in fading PIH or improving overall skin tone. This time, I was using it along with my regular, highly concentrated vitamin C serum (which had proven to be the best brightening solution for me) and adding this ampoule to it didn’t make any visible difference as the Vitamin C concentration in it is very low. Therefore, I stick with my previous opinion that this ampoule lacks brightening power.
I still enjoy its hydrating and soothing benefits.
It might be a good option for anyone with sensitive skin who can’t tolerate high concentrations of active ingredients.
