The SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule 55ml is best utilized as a core step in your daily skincare regimen to leverage its soothing and restorative properties. After cleansing and toning, dispense a few drops (typically 2-3) onto your fingertips. Gently pat the ampoule across your face and neck until fully absorbed. Its lightweight, watery consistency allows for quick penetration, leaving the skin feeling hydrated and calm without any stickiness. Many users report a noticeable reduction in redness and irritation, particularly for sensitive or blemish-prone skin, after consistent use. It can be applied both morning and night. For enhanced calming, it can also be mixed with your moisturizer or applied in multiple thin layers, especially during periods of increased skin sensitivity or after sun exposure. Its primary role is to reinforce the skin's natural defense and provide immediate comfort, making it an excellent choice for daily maintenance or crisis intervention for stressed skin.
