How it works
This cream opens its ingredient list with Centella Asiatica Extract, ahead of the rest of the formula, which is the clearest sign of what it is built around. Trehalose follows further down the list, part of the supporting cast rather than the headline. Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate follows further down the list, part of the supporting cast rather than the headline. That order is why SKIN1004 positions Madagascar Centella Soothing Cream as a cream rather than a general moisturizer or cleanser: the concentration and format are built for the moisturizer step, not for every step in a routine. It belongs in the moisturizer step, as the last skincare step, morning and evening, ahead of sunscreen in the morning.
Key benefits

- Sourcing: shipped with the Korean-market barcode and batch code intact.

Key actives
Centella Asiatica Extract
Centella Asiatica Extract is the calming botanical Korean formulators reach for on skin that looks flushed, sensitized, or freshly exfoliated, and it is mild enough to sit underneath stronger actives in the same routine.
Trehalose
Trehalose is a stabilizing sugar-based humectant included to help the rest of the formula hold moisture at the skin's surface for longer between applications.
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a licorice root derivative long used in Korean formulas to support a calmer look to skin and an evened-out tone alongside brighter, more active ingredients.
Tranexamic Acid
Tranexamic Acid is a tone-evening active increasingly common in Korean formulas, included here to support a calmer, more uniform look to skin that shows uneven pigmentation.
Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate
Leuconostoc/Radish Root Ferment Filtrate is a fermented ingredient of the kind Korean formulators favor for a conditioned, less-stripped finish, thought to sit more comfortably on reactive skin than its unfermented form.
SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Soothing Cream
Is the Madagascar Centella Soothing Cream 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 is Centella Asiatica Extract doing in this formula?
Centella Asiatica Extract is the first ingredient of real substance on this product's own ingredient list, which puts it at the front of what the formula is built around rather than a trace addition. The rest of the list supports the texture and feel around it, in the concentration order the manufacturer itself declares.
Where does the Madagascar Centella Soothing Cream sit in a routine?
It occupies the moisturizer step. As the last skincare step, morning and evening, ahead of sunscreen in the morning. 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 Soothing Cream ship in?
It ships at 75ml, 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.

Payment and security

How to use
- Complete your cleanser, toner, and serum steps before this one.
- Warm a coin-sized amount of cream between your fingers rather than applying it cold.
- Press over the face and neck, focusing on dry or flaking patches.
- In the morning, follow with sunscreen once the cream has absorbed.
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.
