The SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Retinol 0.2 Boosting Shot Ampoule is a concentrated treatment serum/ampoule designed for anti‑aging, texture improvement, and skin‑renewal. It combines a retinoid complex (retinol + retinal) at 0.2% with moisturizing and skin‑soothing ingredients (like squalane, panthenol, and Madagascar Centella Asiatica extract) plus a “boosting shot” delivery system using micro‑spicules to enhance absorption. The ampoule aims to stimulate skin cell renewal, smooth skin texture, reduce fine lines or early wrinkles, improve elasticity, and support the skin barrier — making it a hybrid between a treatment serum and a barrier‑supporting product.
Features and Benefits
- Anti‑aging & firming: The combination of retinol and retinal helps promote cell turnover, improving skin texture, smoothness, and firmness.
- Improved skin elasticity and smoothness: Thanks to squalane, panthenol, and hydrators like sodium hyaluronate, the ampoule supports elasticity and leaves skin feeling smoother and more supple.
- Soothing & barrier-supportive: The inclusion of Madagascar Centella Asiatica extract and Madecassoside (derived from Centella) — plus panthenol — helps soothe the skin and support the skin’s barrier, which is especially helpful when using retinoids.
- Enhanced absorption: The formula uses “micro‑spicules” (tiny, sponge‑derived particles) that create micro‑pathways in the skin to deliver active ingredients more deeply, aimed at maximizing effectiveness of retinol and other actives.
- Non‑irritating & clean formulation: According to ingredient breakdowns, the ampoule is formulated without fragrances, essential oils, silicones, or harsh alcohols — which helps reduce the chance of unnecessary irritation.
Suitable Skin Types
- Skin showing early signs of aging (fine lines, loss of firmness, uneven texture).
- Normal, combination, dry, or mature skin types looking for anti‑aging and elasticity improvements. Many sources suggest it can also work for sensitive skin — provided it’s introduced gradually — thanks to soothing agents and careful formulation.
- Skin that tolerates retinoids (or is willing to introduce them slowly) — because the retinol/retinal combo can be potent.
How to use
How to use
Apply in the evening: after cleansing and toning (on dry skin), dispense a small amount (a few drops) and gently spread over face, avoiding the eye area.
Because the ampoule contains micro‑spicules and retinoids, it’s recommended to start slowly: use 2–3 times per week initially to allow skin to adapt. Once tolerated, frequency may be increased (some users move to nightly use, depending on skin response).
After application, follow with a moisturizer to help maintain hydration and support the skin barrier.
During daytime following any night of use, apply broad‑spectrum sunscreen — retinoids increase skin’s sensitivity to sunlight.
