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.
Madecassic Acid
Madecassic Acid is the fourth centella triterpene. A list that names all four is telling you the extract was standardised rather than simply pressed, which is the difference between a cica claim and a cica formula.
Asiaticoside
Asiaticoside is one of the four active triterpenes isolated from centella and the most studied of them. Korean formulas name it separately when they want to show which fraction of the plant they standardised.
Asiatic Acid
Asiatic Acid is the third of centella's four triterpenes and the aglycone form, meaning it has no attached sugar. It is oil soluble, so it turns up in cica creams and balms more than in watery layers.
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.
Hydroxystearic Acid
Stearic acid carrying an extra hydroxyl group. It thickens oil phases and helps pigments and powders spread evenly.
Allantoin
Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin.
How to use
- Use the Probio-Cica Intensive Ampoule after toner and before moisturizer, morning and evening.
- Half a dropper, or two or three drops, is the amount for a whole face. Press it in rather than spreading it thin.
- It sits between the toner and the moisturizer, and it is the layer most worth leaving alone for a minute before anything covers it.
- Twice a day, every day. Do not use it as a spot application on one area; an ampoule is a routine step, not a targeted dose.
SKIN1004 Probio-Cica Intensive Ampoule 95ml
Is the Probio-Cica Intensive Ampoule 95ml 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 Niacinamide doing in this formula?
Niacinamide 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 Probio-Cica Intensive Ampoule 95ml 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 Probio-Cica Intensive Ampoule 95ml ship in?
It ships at 95ml, 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 Probio-Cica Intensive Ampoule 95ml is genuine?
Your unit ships with its Korean-market barcode and batch code intact.

How it works
The panel on this ampoule names four forms of centella asiatica rather than one: Centella Asiatica Extract, Madecassic Acid, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid. 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, Hydroxystearic Acid and Allantoin. 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.
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.

Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.
