SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Niacinamide 10 Boosting Shot Ampoule 30ml

A skin1004 niacinamide ampoule at 10% is a stronger dose than most brightening serums bother with, which is why SKIN1004 builds in an adaptation period rather than telling you to use it daily from day one. Ascorbyl Glucoside, a stable vitamin C derivative, sits at 0.5%, and tranexamic acid joins for tone. Centella PDRN, drawn from the brand's own Madagascar-grown Centella, is there to keep the formula from feeling harsh.

Why You'll Love It

• 10% niacinamide is a genuinely active dose, not a token amount added for the label.
• Ascorbyl Glucoside at 0.5% brings vitamin C benefits without the instability that pure ascorbic acid can have.
• Tranexamic acid and Centella PDRN work on tone evenness rather than promising an overnight fix.
• Watery gel texture that layers under a moisturiser without pilling, even under sunscreen the next morning.

Key Ingredients

• Niacinamide 10%: the lead active for tone and texture.
• Ascorbyl Glucoside 0.5%: a stable vitamin C derivative that supports the niacinamide.
• Tranexamic Acid: included for its effect on uneven tone.
• Centella PDRN: the brand's own Centella extract, added to support skin comfort alongside the actives.

How to Use

Start slow. For the first couple of weeks, apply a small amount to the areas you're targeting 2 to 3 times a week, or every other evening. Once your skin has adjusted, move to daily use: cleanse, tone, then apply the ampoule and gently massage it over the whole face before your moisturiser. As with any active, wear SPF the next morning.

Suitable For

Oily and combination skin dealing with visible pores, dullness or uneven tone. Because the niacinamide dose is high, first-time users of active skincare may want to stick to the adaptation schedule a little longer than the two weeks suggested above.

About the Brand

SKIN1004 farms its own Centella Asiatica in Madagascar and threads it through the range, including this ampoule, where it appears as Centella PDRN rather than a generic extract bought from a third party. The brand's focus stays on that one plant instead of chasing every new trend ingredient.

FAQ

Q: Can I use a 10% niacinamide ampoule every day?
Ans: Not immediately. Start with 2 to 3 applications a week, then increase to daily once your skin tolerates it without irritation.

Q: Does this ampoule replace vitamin C serum?
Ans: It contains Ascorbyl Glucoside, a stable vitamin C derivative, so it can cover that role, though it's formulated primarily around niacinamide rather than as a dedicated vitamin C product.

Q: Can I layer it with retinol?
Ans: Niacinamide and retinol are generally compatible, but if you're using both from the SKIN1004 range, introduce them on alternating nights until your skin adjusts.

Q: What does Centella PDRN mean on the label?
Ans: It refers to the brand's Centella Asiatica extract processed with PDRN technology, included here to support skin comfort alongside the active ingredients.
