The Story Behind SKIN1004
SKIN1004 takes its name from the Korean concept of '1004' (cheon-sa), which sounds identical to 'angel' — their mission is angelic care for troubled skin. What sets SKIN1004 apart is their commitment to sourcing centella asiatica directly from Madagascar, where the plant grows in its most potent wild form. Their Madagascar Centella Ampoule became a viral sensation for containing 100% pure centella extract with zero fillers, delivering intense calming effects for irritated, red, or breakout-prone skin. The brand has since expanded into a full centella ecosystem — cleansers, creams, sunscreens, and spot treatments — all built around this single hero ingredient. For anyone dealing with sensitivity, redness, or barrier damage, SKIN1004 offers some of the purest centella formulations available anywhere.

SKIN1004 FAQ
Why is Madagascar centella better? ▾
SKIN1004 sources wild-harvested centella from Madagascar's highlands, where the plant grows in nutrient-rich volcanic soil. This centella has higher concentrations of madecassoside and asiaticoside — the active compounds responsible for healing and anti-inflammatory effects — compared to conventionally farmed centella.
Is SKIN1004 Centella Ampoule safe for daily use? ▾
Yes — the ampoule is 100% centella extract with no added irritants. It can be used morning and night, even on the most sensitive or reactive skin.
Can I use SKIN1004 with retinol? ▾
Yes — centella and retinol complement each other well. Centella helps soothe the irritation retinol can cause, making the combination ideal for sensitive skin that wants anti-aging benefits without excessive dryness.
