How it works
Centella Asiatica Extract leads the ingredient panel on this cream. Centella Asiatica is the plant behind the whole cica category, sold as gotu kola or Madagascar centella. Its extract is the anchor of Korean formulas built for easily reddened skin, and its work is done by four triterpenes: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid. On this panel it sits alongside Niacinamide, Sedum Sarmentosum Extract and Adenosine. 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 Extract
Centella Asiatica is the plant behind the whole cica category, sold as gotu kola or Madagascar centella. Its extract is the anchor of Korean formulas built for easily reddened skin, and its work is done by four triterpenes: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid.
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.
Sedum Sarmentosum Extract
Stringy stonecrop, the dollnamul eaten as a Korean spring green. It is a succulent, so its extract is watery and hydrating.
Adenosine
Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated.
SKIN1004 Madagascar Hyalu-Cica Moisture Cream
Is the Madagascar Hyalu-Cica Moisture 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 Hyalu-Cica Moisture 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 Hyalu-Cica Moisture 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.
How can I check that my Madagascar Hyalu-Cica Moisture Cream is genuine?

How to use
- Complete your cleanser, toner, and serum steps before this one.
- Warm a coin-sized amount between your palms rather than applying it cold.
- Massage evenly over the face and neck rather than just the cheeks.
- In the morning, layer 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.
