How it works
Centella Asiatica Leaf Water leads the ingredient panel on this serum. Centella Asiatica Leaf Water is the distilled water of the centella leaf, used in place of plain water as a formula base. It is far more dilute than the extract, so it sets the base rather than supplying the actives. On this panel it sits alongside Niacinamide, Hibiscus Esculentus Fruit Extract and Pyrus Communis (Pear) Fruit Extract. Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.

Key actives
Centella Asiatica Leaf Water
Centella Asiatica Leaf Water is the distilled water of the centella leaf, used in place of plain water as a formula base. It is far more dilute than the extract, so it sets the base rather than supplying the actives.
Niacinamide
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.
Hibiscus Esculentus Fruit Extract
Hibiscus Esculentus is okra, whose fruit is thick with mucilage. Its extract hydrates and gives a cushioned, slippery feel.
Pyrus Communis (Pear) Fruit Extract
Pear Fruit Extract carries fruit sugars and mild fruit acids. It is used as a hydrating extract with a very light smoothing effect on the surface.
SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Blue Serum
Is the Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Blue Serum sold here the Korean-market formula, not a US reformulation?
Yes. This listing is the release SKIN1004 sells for use inside Korea, the same formula Korean shoppers buy off the shelf there. A product with the same name can carry a different ingredient list or a different size in an export version, and we source and list only the Korean one, with that market's barcode and batch code intact on the unit that ships to you.
What does Centella Asiatica Leaf Water do in this formula?
Centella Asiatica Leaf Water is the distilled water of the centella leaf, used in place of plain water as a formula base. It is far more dilute than the extract, so it sets the base rather than supplying the actives. It is named on this product's own ingredient panel.
Where does the Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Blue Serum sit in a routine?
It occupies the serum step. After toner and before moisturizer, morning and/or evening. Build a routine around the step you are replacing rather than the brand you recognize, since a handful of well-chosen steps tells you more about your skin than a shelf of unrelated products.
What size does the Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Blue Serum ship in?
It ships at 30ml, the size SKIN1004 sells this product at inside Korea. We do not substitute an export format or a US-only size for the Korean one, so what you receive matches what a shopper buys for it in Seoul.
How can I check that my Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Blue Serum is genuine?
Your unit ships with its Korean-market barcode and batch code intact.

How to use
- AM and PM, after toner and before heavier moisturizers. Water based formulas need to reach the skin before occlusive layers block them.
- Two or three pumps into the palm. Press it over damp skin, do not rub it in: rubbing pulls the carbomer and xanthan gum into pills instead of letting the humectants bind water.
- Start with two or three nights a week, then build to daily use as the skin adjusts to the niacinamide and polyglutamic acid.
- Seal it with a moisturizer, and with a sunscreen in the morning.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on the inner arm before a first full-face application, as with any new skincare product.
- Introduce it into a routine one product at a time so any reaction can be traced to the right cause.
