🧬 Key ingredients

Centella Asiatica Extract

A defining ingredient in the SKIN1004 Hyalu-Cica formula range. It complements hydration with centella care that supports skin comfort and a more balanced feel.

5-layer hyaluronic acid system

Communicated by SKIN1004 as a five-layer hyaluronic acid system. The ingredient list includes Sodium Hyaluronate, Hyaluronic Acid and Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, which help retain moisture and support a softer, plumper skin feel.

Betula Platyphylla Japonica Juice

Birch sap, which complements the Hyalu-Cica system as a hydrating and skin-conditioning plant ingredient.

Hedera Helix Leaf/Stem Extract

Ivy leaf and stem extract, part of the plant complex highlighted by the manufacturer to support a more comfortable skin feel.

COMPARAX plant complex

A complex based on several plant extracts, emphasised by SKIN1004 to support skin comfort and the natural barrier.

Niacinamide

A versatile form of vitamin B3 that supports a more even, radiant skin appearance and proper skin barrier function.

🎯 Who is it recommended for?

It can be a particularly good choice for:

• dehydrated, moisture-deficient skin,
• normal and combination skin,
• drier, tight-feeling skin,
• skin that has lost comfort,
• if you are looking for a very light hydrating ampoule,
• if you want an extra hydrating “first step” at the start of your routine without heavy layers.

🧴 How to use

Immediately after cleansing, apply 1–2 drops to the face as the first leave-on step of your routine, then gently pat in.

Afterwards, follow with toner, essence, serum or ampoule, then moisturiser.

💗 Why do we love it?

Because the name “First Ampoule” really matters here. It is not simply another hyaluronic acid serum, but designed as the first hydrating step: it quickly provides moisture to freshly cleansed skin before building the rest of the routine.

Its very watery, light texture adds an extra hydrating layer without weighing down the routine – especially useful on dehydrated skin or when you want to use multiple thin hydrating layers.

❓ Q&A

Should I use it before or after toner?

Before toner. SKIN1004 positions it as a “Step 0” ampoule, recommending it immediately after cleansing as the first hydrating step of the routine.

How is it different from the Hyalu-Cica Blue Serum?

The First Ampoule is primarily a very watery “Step 0” ampoule for quick hydration and preparing the skin for subsequent skincare steps. The Blue Serum is a more complex, standalone hydrating serum used later in the routine.

Can it be used daily?

Yes. It can be used in both morning and evening routines.

What is the texture like?

Very light, watery and fast-absorbing. It is not a thick or oily ampoule.

Does it really contain 5 types of hyaluronic acid?

SKIN1004 communicates it as a “5 layers of hyaluronic acid” system. The current official INCI lists Sodium Hyaluronate, Hyaluronic Acid and Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid by name.
