Description
The SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Enrich Cream is a rich, nourishing moisturizer designed to strengthen the skin barrier, soothe irritation, and provide deep, lasting hydration. It’s particularly well-loved by those with sensitive or compromised skin.
Key Ingredients & Benefits:
- Fermented Madagascar Centella Asiatica Extract (Probio-Cica): This is the star complex. It combines the renowned soothing and healing properties of Centella Asiatica with probiotics (specifically Lactobacillus ferment). This fermented form is believed to enhance the skin’s microbiome balance, calm irritated skin, reduce redness, and support skin barrier repair.
- TECA (Titrated Extract of Centella Asiatica): A highly purified concentration of key compounds from Centella Asiatica (Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid, Asiatic Acid). These are powerful for soothing, healing, and promoting collagen production, further strengthening the skin barrier.
- Ceramide NP: Ceramides are essential lipids naturally found in the skin barrier. Ceramide NP helps replenish these lipids, effectively reinforcing the skin’s protective barrier, improving moisture retention, and preventing dryness and sensitivity.
- Phytosterols: Plant-derived compounds that are structurally similar to cholesterol, another crucial component of the skin barrier. They help to strengthen the barrier and improve skin elasticity.
- Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A multi-tasking ingredient that helps to improve skin tone, reduce redness, minimize the appearance of pores, and further support the skin barrier.
- Skin-friendly Seed Oils (e.g., Macadamia Ternifolia Seed Oil, Moringa Oleifera Seed Oil, Shea Butter): These provide rich emollients that nourish the skin, prevent moisture loss, and leave a soft, silky finish without feeling heavy or sticky.
- Hyaluronic Acid and Glycerin: Powerful humectants that attract and hold moisture in the skin, providing deep and long-lasting hydration.
- Adenosine: Known for its anti-aging properties, it helps to improve skin elasticity and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- Strengthens Skin Barrier: The core benefit, helping to repair and reinforce a compromised skin barrier for improved resilience against external aggressors.
- Balances Microbiome: Probiotic elements help promote a healthy skin environment.
- Non-Comedogenic: Often considered suitable for acne-prone skin despite its richness, as it focuses on barrier health.
How to Use:
- After cleansing, toning, and applying any serums (such as the Probio-Cica Intensive Ampoule from the same line), take an appropriate amount of the cream.
- Gently massage it onto your face and neck using light upward and outward motions.
- Lightly pat to aid absorption.
- It can be used both in your morning and evening skincare routines. For the evening, a slightly thicker layer can be applied as an overnight mask.
