Truth be told, I’m not someone who really gets influenced by TikTok to buy things. But when I do, I always get pleasantly surprised when I try a product that actually works. I recently came across one such product that actually worked wonders at transforming my skin. Best part? It’s less than $20.
SKIN1004, the best-selling K-beauty brand behind the viral “zombie” facial mask, has another skincare product that social media and Amazon shoppers can’t get enough of. The SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Asiatica Ampoule is one of the brand’s signature and most-loved products for immediately calming and soothing skin, smoothing bumps and texture, and providing deep hydration. We’re talking moisture so intense, you’ll wake up to glowing skin. At least, that’s what I experienced after trying the product for the very first time. But we’ll get more into that later.
The serum is made with a high concentration of Madagascar Centella Asiatica Extract, which the brands says helps calm sensitive skin and strengthen the skin’s moisture barrier. The product itself is not like your typical serum, which tends to be thick and on the sticky side. This product is light, watery, and just glides onto your skin very smoothly.
While anyone can use the serum, it’s especially great for anyone dealing with redness, breakouts, bumps, or dryness. This summer has NOT been amazing for my skin, and I’ve noticed more bumps, dry patches, and uneven texture. After seeing this pop up on social media quite a few times, I gave it a try to see what would happen, not expecting anything. I’m honestly so glad that I did. I applied at night and woke up the next morning with reduced bumps and a glow I haven’t had in months. It was seriously impressive considering my face typically hates everything. After using the product for weeks, my skin has never been smoother or as naturally glowy than it is now. It makes my skin look amazing both with foundation and without. I can definitely see why over 20,000 of these have been purchased in the past month alone.
One shopper who called the serum “liquid gold” wrote, “I’m obsessed with SKIN1004’s Madagascar Centella Asiatica Ampoule. It’s one of the first products I purchased when starting my glass skin journey as Centella Asiatica is known to calm sensitive skin, reduce redness, and inflammation. My skin barrier was damaged from all the actives I used in the past. Since I started using this ampoule in the morning and night, my skin is a lot more hydrated and less red and irritated. It absorbs beautifully into the skin and doesn’t leave tackiness. My skin is left glowing after every use.” They went on to say they recommended the serum to all their friends and family, who felt the same way they did.
“So healing,” wrote another shopper. “This is the K-beauty secret everyone is trying to hide. It heals any blemishes and any redness you have. 100% would rebuy.” Once I’m done with my large bottle (it’s honestly huge, so it may take a while!), I’m definitely repurchasing it myself — it’s honestly that good.
A recent shopper who was ” so happy” to have found the serum wrote, “It gives my skin so much moisture and glow. Such a great find for summer. Easy to spread and absorbs really fast. Two to three drops are enough for my whole face. It doesn’t have any scent. It’s also a big bottle, which looks great and is easy to take on travels. So glad I found this, especially for such a good price.”
Last but certainly not least, one shopper with sensitive combination skin said it really helped to improve the condition of their face. “I had to move to a dry city and my skin was super angry with the change, breaking out like I’m going through puberty again and my lips were like SpongeBob out of water. The product is light and watery but absorbs into your skin fast. Your skin is left supple and once you seal it with a moisturizer, it’s perfection. I have not used it in conjunction with other serums but I bet it will do just fine. After a week of use, my face is significantly clearer than before.”
Right now, you can snag the large bottle of this gold-in-a-bottle serum for just $17 (it’s $20 regularly). While it’s true that everyone is different and thus, may see different results, given the amount of glowing reviews, it’s definitely worth adding to your cart while it’s still on sale.
