How it works
A stick puts a moisturising balm on the face without hands, which is the entire argument for the format over a jar. The texture is firmer than a cream because it has to hold its shape, so it lays down a thicker film for the same swipe. It is a leave on step and belongs last, over a serum or cream, wherever a patch of skin actually needs it. The way it is used is different from a cream too: it is a spot treatment for dry areas rather than a whole face layer. At 10g it is built for a bag or a desk drawer rather than for a bathroom shelf, which is where the format earns its keep.
Key benefits
- What it is: balm stick, 10g, used a top up over the rest of a routine.
- Texture: a firm balm applied without hands.
- Aimed at: dry patches, topping up over makeup, travel and desk use.
- Original Korean Formula: the version sold on Korean shelves, not a US reformulation.
How to use
- Finish your usual routine first, since a balm goes over the thinner layers rather than under them.
- Twist up only a few millimetres and glide it once over the areas that feel tight.
- Press the film in with a clean fingertip so it is not left sitting as a visible patch.
- Do not drag it repeatedly over the same spot, because a firm stick over dry skin is what causes irritation.
What is the Centellian24 Madeca Cream Stick 10g?
It is a 10g balm in a twist up stick, meant for topping up tight areas over the day rather than for moisturising a whole face. One light pass and a press with a fingertip is the dose. It goes over the rest of a routine, since a firm balm blocks whatever is put on top of it.
Is the balm stick a whole face moisturiser?
It works best as a targeted top up on tight areas rather than as the layer that moisturises everything. A stick lays down more film per pass than a cream does, so covering a whole face with one leaves a shiny finish and takes a while. Keep a cream for the routine and the stick for the patches.
Can I carry it and use it over makeup?
Yes, and that is the strongest case for the format. One light pass on a dry patch and a press with a fingertip is usually enough, and it disturbs makeup less than a cream applied with fingers. Blot rather than rub if the area looks shiny afterwards.
Where does it go if I use it in a full routine?
At the end, over any serum and cream, because a firm balm blocks whatever goes on top of it. The order is the usual texture ladder and a stick sits at the very top of it. On the driest nights it can go over a sleeping mask on the areas that need it.
Is this the same version sold in Korea?
Yes, this is the Korean-market formula rather than a US reformulation of it. The 10g comes with Korean primary labelling and an intact barcode, which is what lets you verify what you have received. We hold stock in the United States.

Worth knowing
- Use one light pass rather than dragging it back and forth over the same area.
- Keep it clear of the eyelid margin, and do not use it on broken skin.
- Wipe the surface of the stick occasionally, since it touches the face directly.
