What We Loved
- 98% centella — extremely concentrated
- Reduces inflammation and redness dramatically
- Speeds up healing of acne and wounds
- Fragrance-free and minimal ingredient list
- Lightweight and layerable
- Exceptional value at $18
What We Didn't Love
- Not hydrating on its own — needs a moisturizer

- Simple formula won't address multiple skin concerns
How to Use
Apply after toner, before heavier serums and moisturizer. Can be applied directly to problem spots or all over the face. Use morning and night for best results.
How It Compares
- Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Tiger Grass Cream ($42): Cicapair is a moisturizer that includes centella; SKIN1004 is a concentrated centella treatment. Use SKIN1004 for targeted repair, Cicapair for overall moisturizing.
- CENTELLIAN24 Madeca Cream ($38): Madeca Cream moisturizes with centella; SKIN1004 treats with centella. Use together for maximum centella benefits.
- Anua Heartleaf Toner ($22): Both soothe inflammation. Heartleaf is better as a toner layer; SKIN1004 is better for intensive spot treatment.
