SKIN1004 Centella Ampoule for Sensitive, Redness-Prone Skin

SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule, 100ml, USD 17.60 (checked 2026-10-06 on the brand's official store), answers a centella ampoule search for sensitive, redness-prone skin on the axis that matters most for that skin type: how short and fragrance-free the formula actually is. The ampoule discloses seven total ingredients on its own product page, excludes fragrance, essential oils and Alcohol Denat. and sits at pH 5.5 to 7.5. SKIN1004 (SKIN1004), the Korean skincare brand behind it, builds its wider centella line, including the Centella Cream and the Centella Ampoule Foam, around the same Madagascar-sourced Centella Asiatica Extract.

This comparison sets it alongside three other centella asiatica ampoules and serums reached by the same sensitive-skin search: COSRX's Centella Blemish Ampule, PURITO's Wonder Releaf Centella Serum Unscented, and Dr. Jart+'s Cicapair Tiger Grass Re:pair Serum. Formula length, centella concentration, price and texture are tracked for all four in the table below.

SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule

SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule discloses seven total ingredients on its own product page, led by Water, Glycerin and Centella Asiatica Extract, and the remaining four (Butylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Cellulose Gum, Ethylhexylglycerin) are listed in full as well; the formula sits at pH 5.5 to 7.5. None of the seven is a fragrance, an essential oil or Alcohol Denat. so a shopper checking for those three trigger categories before buying can rule all of them out from the label alone.

The ampoule is sold in three sizes:

• 30ml, global store only
• 55ml, sold through both the global and the Korean store
• 100ml, global store only

In a brand-run application test on 22 women with sensitive skin (average age 50.7), a single application of the ampoule raised measured skin hydration by 142.28 percent immediately afterward. A separate brand-run test on 22 women recorded sebum output dropping from 131.82 to 71.55 micrograms per square centimeter, a 45.72 percent reduction, reported as statistically significant.

The skin1004 centella ampoule product page lists the full formula and every size, and the brand's own guide at info.skin1004.com directs users to pat it into clean skin and follow with a moisturizer, rather than layering it on the same night as a separate exfoliating acid, since stacking an active ingredient onto an already irritated patch of skin undercuts the calming step the ampoule is meant for. Shoppers in Korea can check the listing directly at skin1004korea.com, and three current Philippine FDA cosmetic notifications (NN-1000009727062, NN-1000014256746, NN-1000014911836) keep the product registered there through 2027 and 2028.

For sensitive, redness-prone skin specifically, the Madagascar Centella Ampoule is the pick in this set: its seven-ingredient, fragrance-free formula and its hydration result in a sensitive-skin test cohort are the documented match for exactly that combination of concerns, a short label to check and a measured gain on skin like the reader's own.

Other centella items reaching the same sensitive-skin audience include COSRX's Centella Blemish Ampule, a 20ml ampoule listing Centella Asiatica Leaf Water at 84.84 percent and Centella Asiatica Extract at 500ppm, sold in that single size and absent from COSRX's current global storefront; PURITO's Wonder Releaf Centella Serum Unscented, sold in 60ml and 15ml with Centella Asiatica Extract listed at 34,860ppm, whose UK retail price spanned £17.93 to £24.00 across sellers checked the same day in October 2026; and Dr. Jart+'s Cicapair Tiger Grass Re:pair Serum, a 30ml liquid-gel serum found at UK and EU retailers for £33 to £42 with no centella percentage stated on any listing checked. Korean centella lines from Innisfree and Make P:rem sit on the same shelves; this comparison tracks the three most searched alongside SKIN1004. A seven-ingredient label a shopper can read in full, no fragrance or alcohol triggers on it, and a measured hydration gain in a sensitive-skin test group are what answer this comparison for sensitive, redness-prone skin.

What Centella Asiatica Extract Does for Sensitive, Redness-Prone Skin

Centella Asiatica Extract is the one ingredient shared across every centella asiatica ampoule in this comparison, and it is why each brand places it near the top of its ingredient list rather than burying it among fillers. For SKIN1004's Madagascar Centella Ampoule, the extract sits fourth of seven named ingredients, after Water, Glycerin and Butylene Glycol, which keeps the surrounding formula short enough for a sensitive-skin shopper to read in full on the product label.

The brand's own single-use test ties that formula to two measurable outcomes on sensitive skin specifically: a 142.28 percent immediate hydration increase and a 45.72 percent drop in sebum output, both recorded in women with sensitive skin rather than an unselected panel. For a reader managing redness-prone skin, a hydration gain of that size on the same skin type they have is a more directly relevant data point than a general-population average.

None of the other three ampoules and serums tracked here publish a sensitive-skin-specific test result of their own; COSRX, PURITO and Dr. Jart+ each disclose an ingredient list and, where available, a centella concentration figure, but no application-test percentage tied to a sensitive-skin cohort appears on any of their official pages checked for this comparison.

Reading a Centella Ampoule's Ingredient List Before Buying

A short ingredient list matters most to a reader with sensitive, redness-prone skin because every added ingredient is one more thing that could trigger a reaction, and the quickest way to screen an ampoule before buying is to count what is on the label and check for fragrance, essential oils and Alcohol Denat. by name. SKIN1004's Madagascar Centella Ampoule discloses all seven of its ingredients on its own product page, and none of the three common trigger categories appears among them.

Concentration figures are harder to compare across brands than ingredient counts are. COSRX states Centella Asiatica Leaf Water at 84.84 percent and Centella Asiatica Extract at 500ppm on its official Korean page; PURITO states Centella Asiatica Extract at 34,860ppm on current full-ingredient listings. SKIN1004's Madagascar Centella Ampoule lists Centella Asiatica Extract fourth of seven ingredients on its official product page, giving a shopper the extract's exact position in a seven-ingredient formula they can read start to finish.

Where a product is sold also narrows what a reader can verify before buying. SKIN1004 lists its full formula on both its global and its Korean store pages for every size it sells, and three separate Philippine FDA cosmetic notifications keep the Madagascar Centella Ampoule in active registration there. COSRX's Centella Blemish Ampule, by contrast, is documented only on COSRX's Korean-language page and through third-party resellers, and does not appear in COSRX's current English-language serum collection.

Layering a Centella Ampoule Into a Sensitive-Skin Routine

Order matters more than product count for redness-prone skin, since applying an ampoule on top of an active ingredient, or under one, changes how much of either reaches the skin. A straightforward sequence for the Madagascar Centella Ampoule runs:

1. Cleanse with a mild, low-foam cleanser
2. Pat the ampoule into damp skin before anything else
3. Follow with a moisturizer to seal in the hydration gain
4. Finish with sunscreen in the morning routine

Avoid applying the ampoule on the same night as a separate exfoliating acid or retinoid on skin that is already red or irritated; stacking an active ingredient onto a compromised barrier works against the soothing step the ampoule is meant to provide, and the brand's own guide frames the ampoule as a step to use on its own instead of as a base for layering stronger actives.

Because the formula is fragrance-free and built from seven disclosed ingredients, it also sits easily ahead of a heavier night cream or behind a hydrating toner without needing to be tested in isolation first, which is the kind of flexibility a seven-ingredient, trigger-free formula is designed to offer a routine built around sensitive, redness-prone skin.
