SKIN1004 PROBIO-CICA INTENSIVE AMPOULE 50ml
Description
Quiet, unfussy, and the first thing you repurchase.
4 separate centella entries on the label — extracts, asiaticoside, madecassoside, the lot.
What this ampoule does
A 50 ml ampoule, formulated to calm the look of redness, soften the surface and even out the look of tone.
What the cica complex actually contains
SKIN1004 builds this around a named centella complex. The ingredient list shows what is behind the name: Centella Asiatica Extract, Madecassic Acid, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid — 4 centella-derived entries.
Centella is the ingredient this brand is known for, and here it arrives as a set of related extracts rather than a single one.
Key ingredients
| Ingredient | What it is, and what it is used for |
|---|---|
| Niacinamide | Nicotinamide (vitamin B3). Studied for signalling to skin cells rather than sitting on top; studied for evening out tone; studied for breakout-prone skin. |
| Adenosine | Purine nucleoside. Studied for signalling to skin cells rather than sitting on top. |
| Sodium Hyaluronate | Sodium salt of hyaluronic acid. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Centella Asiatica Extract | Extract of Centella asiatica, whole plant. Used to calm irritation; used to slow oxidation, in the formula and on skin; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Panthenol | Provitamin B5. Used to calm irritation; used to pull in water and hold it. |
| Allantoin | Heterocyclic diureide. Used to calm irritation. |
| Madecassic Acid | Pentacyclic triterpene from Centella asiatica. Listed as skin-conditioning agent (miscellaneous). |
| Asiaticoside | Triterpene glycoside from Centella asiatica. Used to slow oxidation, in the formula and on skin; carries scent. |
| Asiatic Acid | Pentacyclic triterpene from Centella asiatica. Listed as skin-conditioning agent. |
| Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride | Medium-chain triglyceride from coconut. Used to soften by filling the gaps between surface cells. |
| Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil | Oil from Macadamia ternifolia seed. Listed as skin-conditioning agent (occlusive). |
| Ceramide NP | Ceramide 3. A material skin already contains, so it reads as its own. |
How the formula works together
Three groups of ingredients are doing the work here. Calming ingredients — Centella Asiatica Extract, Panthenol and Allantoin — work on the look of redness. Emollients and lipids — Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride and Ceramide NP — sit on top and slow how fast that water leaves. Niacinamide works on the look of unevenness.
Emollients and lipids and calming ingredients are the same job approached from two sides — one works on how skin feels under your fingers, the other on what shows in the mirror.
Who it is for
Worth checking before you buy: soap-based (saponified) cleansing system.
How to use it
- Drop an appropriate amount and evenly apply to the skin.
- Pat to promote absorption.
