Madagascar Centella Soothing Cream calming gel-cream with centella

💗 Madagascar Centella Soothing Cream – lightweight barrier care gel-cream with centella

A lightweight, cooling gel-cream with Madagascar centella, trehalose and barrier care lipids. Its fast-absorbing, non-sticky formula hydrates the skin while supporting the skin’s natural protective layer with ceramides and cholesterol.

✨ What does it do?

• Light, gel moisturising cream that absorbs quickly and does not leave a sticky feeling.
• Supports a more comfortable, balanced skin feel with Centella asiatica extract.
• Helps bind and retain moisture with trehalose and sodium hyaluronate.
• Contains 5 types of ceramides, cholesterol and phytosphingosine to care for the skin barrier.
• Its cooling sensation can be especially pleasant on warmer, more sensitive or compromised skin.
• Despite its light texture, it not only hydrates but also supports the skin’s natural lipid layer.

🧬 Key ingredients

Centella Asiatica Extract

A defining ingredient of the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella product line. In the formula, hydration is complemented by support for a more comfortable, calmer skin feel.

Trehalose

A moisture-binding sugar molecule that helps reduce water loss and maintain a longer-lasting hydrated, softer skin feel.

5 types of ceramide

Ceramide NP, NG, AS, AP and EOP are present in the formula. These are components related to the skin’s natural lipid layer that support proper barrier function and moisture retention.

Cholesterol + Phytosphingosine

Barrier lipids complementing ceramides, forming a system similar to the composition of the skin’s natural protective layer, helping to maintain a more comfortable, more elastic skin feel.

Sodium Hyaluronate

The water-binding form of hyaluronic acid, supporting hydration and a softer, plumper skin feel.

Beta-Glucan

A hydrating and skin comfort-supporting ingredient that fits well with the light, soothing barrier care formula.

🎯 Who is it recommended for?

It can be a particularly good choice for:

• dehydrated, moisture-deficient skin,
• skin prone to sensitivity or compromised comfort,
• normal and drier skin types,
• those looking for a light moisturiser with barrier care lipids,
• those who dislike heavy, greasy creams,
• warmer periods when a rich barrier cream would be too much.

🧴 How to use

Apply an appropriate amount to the face as the last hydrating step in your routine, then gently smooth or pat into the skin.

Finish your morning routine with sunscreen.

💗 Why do we love it?

Because it combines the comfort of lightweight gel creams with a much more serious barrier care formula. It contains five types of ceramides, cholesterol and phytosphingosine yet does not become a heavy, thick cream.

It can also be a good choice when the skin needs more than a simple hydrating gel but a rich barrier cream would be too much.

❓ Q&A

What is the texture like?

A light brownish, gel-cream that absorbs quickly, provides a cooling sensation and does not leave a sticky finish.

How is it different from Madagascar Centella Cream?

The Soothing Cream has a lighter, more gel-like and cooling texture while being strongly barrier-focused with ceramides and cholesterol. The Centella Cream is creamier, more nourishing and contains plant oils, shea butter and squalane.

How is it different from Probio-Cica Enrich Cream?

Probio-Cica Enrich Cream is a much richer, more lipid barrier cream with fermented centella. The Soothing Cream is a lighter, fresher choice, especially if you do not want a heavy layer on the skin.

Can it be used daily?

Yes. It can be used as both a morning and evening moisturiser.

Does it contain tranexamic acid?

Yes, it is listed in the INCI, but this is not the main concept of the product. SKIN1004 primarily positions it as a hydrating, comfort-supporting and barrier care gel-cream.
