SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica First Ampoule 50ml

SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica First Ampoule 50ml is the mid-size format of the brand's Step 0 hydration booster, meant to be applied immediately after cleansing rather than saved for later in the routine. Five layers of hyaluronic acid work alongside birch sap and ivy leaf extract to deliver an immediate surge of hydration, prepping the skin for the rest of your routine.
