SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Asiatica Ampoule

It's built around 100% Centella Asiatica extract, which makes it brilliant for calming redness and settling easily irritated or acne-prone skin. Beyond soothing, it also: Supports and helps repair the skin's protective barrier Leaves skin feeling softer and more bouncy over time Helps even out skin tone for a healthier-looking complexion Suits all skin types, including sensitive, thanks to its minimal, pH-balanced, hypoallergenic formula

Yes, it's a good fit for both. The formula is minimalist and hypoallergenic, with 100% Centella Asiatica extract and nothing extra to irritate or clog pores. It helps with: Redness and irritation A weakened or compromised skin barrier Blemish-prone or congested skin

It contains one ingredient: 100% Centella Asiatica extract (also known as Gotu Kola), a well-loved herb in K-beauty for its calming and repairing properties. Soothes redness and irritation Supports the skin barrier and helps it recover Hydrates and helps balance oil and moisture levels Helps with wound healing and the appearance of acne scars Supports elasticity and firmness over time Gentle enough for sensitive and acne-prone skin

It can help with two of those three concerns: Rosacea-prone skin: Centella asiatica is well known for calming redness and sensitivity, making it a good fit for reactive skin. It's not a medical treatment, but many people with rosacea find it soothing. Skin barrier: It hydrates and helps reinforce a weakened barrier over time. For fungal acne specifically, this ampoule isn't formulated or marketed for that concern, so it may not be the right pick.

In K-beauty, the two are very similar. The main distinction is concentration: ampoules tend to be more potent, booster-style treatments often focused on a specific concern (soothing, brightening, pores), while serums are typically your everyday active step. In practice, many brands including SKIN1004 classify ampoules as serums, so you can use them interchangeably in your routine: Cleanser Toner Ampoule or serum Moisturiser SPF (morning)
