Key ingredients
These are the ingredients SKIN1004 highlights for this product, cross-checked against general dermatological and cosmetic-chemistry sources, not a full INCI list.
Fragrance: confirmed fragrance-free.
| Ingredient | What it is | What it does for skin |
|---|---|---|
| Centella asiatica (Madagascar) | Centella asiatica sourced from Madagascar; brands market this origin as having higher active-compound content, though that's a sourcing claim rather than an independently verified difference in this specific extract. | Same core role as centella generally: soothes irritation, supports barrier repair, provides antioxidant protection. |
| Niacinamide | A form of vitamin B3, one of the most studied ingredients in cosmetic dermatology. | Strengthens the skin barrier by boosting ceramide production, helps even out tone by limiting pigment transfer to skin cells, and can reduce the look of enlarged pores. |
| Hyaluronic acid | A humectant naturally found in skin, capable of holding many times its weight in water. | Draws moisture into the skin's surface, helping it look and feel plumper and more hydrated. |
| Adenosine | A compound naturally present in skin cells, used in skincare as an anti-aging active. | Recognized by South Korea's MFDS as a functional anti-wrinkle ingredient at 0.04% concentration, based on clinical studies showing measurable fine-line improvement; a real but modest effect, not a retinoid substitute. |
| Tocopherol | The chemical name for vitamin E as typically used in skincare formulas. | Helps neutralize free radicals from UV and pollution exposure and supports the skin's moisture barrier. |
| Green tea extract | An extract from Camellia sinensis leaves, rich in polyphenol antioxidants (catechins). | Provides antioxidant protection against environmental stressors and has mild anti-inflammatory properties. |
