At-a-Glance (30s) (who it’s for, what to expect)

Dealing with redness, irritation, or breakouts that feel impossible to calm down can be incredibly frustrating. This kit is designed as a gentle reset button for your skin.

• What it is: A 5-step trial and travel kit containing a cleansing oil, ampoule foam cleanser, toning toner, ampoule, and soothing cream.
• Who it’s for: Ideal for those with sensitive, easily irritated, oily, combination, or acne-prone skin. It’s a perfect introduction to K-beauty routines or for anyone needing a reliable, gentle travel set.
• What it does: Calms redness and inflammation, provides lightweight hydration, strengthens the skin barrier, and gently cleanses without stripping the skin. The star ingredient, Centella Asiatica from Madagascar, is prized for its powerful soothing and healing properties.

Quick Start (60-second routine) (essentials for beginners)

This kit simplifies building a routine. Here’s the core sequence:

1. Cleanse: In the evening, start with the Light Cleansing Oil to dissolve sunscreen/makeup, then follow with the Ampoule Foam. In the morning, just the Ampoule Foam is enough.
2. Treat: Apply the Toning Toner, followed by 2-3 drops of the Centella Ampoule to soothe and hydrate.
3. Moisturise & Protect: Finish with the Soothing Cream to lock everything in. In the morning, always follow with your own sunscreen (SPF 30+).

Note: Already own a similar product? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, dont stack).

AM Routine Guide (morning order) (how to use in the morning)

Start your day with a calm, hydrated base thats ready for Mauritius’s sun and humidity.

• Step 1: Cleanse – Wash your face with the Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam. It’s a gentle, low-pH cleanse to remove overnight buildup without stripping your skin.
• Step 2: Tone – Apply the Madagascar Centella Toning Toner with a cotton pad or your hands. It contains a gentle PHA to mildly exfoliate and prepare your skin for the next steps.
• Step 3: Treat – Pat 2-3 drops of the Madagascar Centella Ampoule onto your skin. This is a concentrated dose of soothing Centella to reduce any morning redness.
• Step 4: Moisturise – Apply a pea-sized amount of the Madagascar Centella Soothing Cream. It’s a lightweight gel-cream that hydrates without feeling heavy or greasy.
• Step 5: Protect (Essential) – Finish with your own broad-spectrum sunscreen of SPF 30 or higher. This is the most important step to protect your skin and the results of your routine.

PM Routine Guide (evening order) (recommended for starting)

Your evening routine focuses on thorough cleansing and overnight repair.

• Step 1: Double Cleanse
  • First Cleanse: Massage the Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil onto your dry face to dissolve sunscreen, makeup, and sebum. Add water to emulsify, then rinse.
  • Second Cleanse: Follow with the Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam to wash away any remaining residue.
• Step 2: Tone – Apply the Madagascar Centella Toning Toner to gently exfoliate and balance your skin’s pH.
• Step 3: Treat – Apply a few drops of the Madagascar Centella Ampoule to soothe skin and support its overnight repair process.
• Step 4: Moisturise – Finish with the Madagascar Centella Soothing Cream to provide lasting hydration while you sleep.

How to Use (Beginner-friendly) (amount, frequency, and tips)

Use this kit daily, AM and PM. Heres a breakdown of each step:

• Light Cleansing Oil (PM Only):
  • Amount: 2-3 pumps.
  • Method: Apply to a dry face and gently massage for 30-60 seconds. Add a little lukewarm water to your hands and massage again until the oil turns milky (emulsifies). Rinse thoroughly.
• Ampoule Foam (AM & PM):
  • Amount: A pea-sized amount.
  • Method: Lather with water in your hands and gently cleanse your face. Rinse with lukewarm water.
• Toning Toner (AM & PM):
  • Amount: A few shakes onto a cotton pad or into your palms.
  • Method: Gently swipe across the face with a pad or pat it in with your hands.
• Ampoule (AM & PM):
  • Amount: 2-3 drops.
  • Method: Pat gently onto the entire face until absorbed. Focus on areas of redness or irritation.
• Soothing Cream (AM & PM):
  • Amount: A pea-sized amount.
  • Method: Gently spread over your face and neck as the final step of your routine (before sunscreen in the AM).

Watchouts: Pilling can occur if you apply too much cream or don’t wait for layers to absorb. If the cleansing oil feels greasy after rinsing, make sure you are adding enough water to fully emulsify it into a milky texture before washing it off.

Weekly Planner (Example & Alternating Actives) (how to schedule use)

This kit is designed for gentle, daily use. The routine remains consistent throughout the week.

• Daily (AM & PM): Follow the AM and PM routine guides as outlined. The Toning Toner contains PHA, a very gentle acid suitable for daily use by most skin types to prevent dead skin cell buildup.
• Integrating Other Actives: If you use stronger exfoliants (like glycolic acid) or retinoids, you can easily incorporate them.
  • Example Week:
    • Mon/Wed/Fri (PM): Use this kit, but add your Retinoid before the Soothing Cream.
    • Tue/Sat (PM): Use this kit, but swap the Toning Toner for your stronger AHA/BHA exfoliant.
    • Thu/Sun (PM): Use only the SKIN1004 kit for a soothing, recovery night.

Rule: Always use only one strong active per night. Do not use retinoids and strong acids on the same evening.

What to Expect (Results Timeline) (immediate 8+ weeks)

• Immediate: Skin feels calm, soothed, and comfortably hydrated after the first use. Redness may appear slightly reduced.
• 1-2 Weeks: You may notice a visible reduction in inflammation and fewer new irritation-based breakouts. Skin texture feels softer and looks less stressed.
• 4-8+ Weeks: With consistent use, the skin barrier becomes stronger and more resilient. Skin appears more balanced, with less persistent redness and improved overall health.

Individual results vary. Consistency and daily sun protection are key to achieving the best outcomes.

Myth Replacement (Why this, not that) (safer, effective alternatives)

• Why use a Double Cleanse, not just one harsh cleanser?
  • The Myth: A single, strong foaming cleanser that makes your skin feel “squeaky clean” is best for removing everything.
  • The Reality: That “squeaky clean” feeling is often a sign that you’ve stripped your skin’s protective barrier, leading to irritation, dryness, and even more oil production. Sunscreen and makeup are oil-based and are best dissolved by an oil cleanser. The gentle foam cleanser then removes water-based impurities. This two-step method cleans thoroughly without causing damage. (Ingredient Rationale)

Compatibility Guide (layering) (what to pair it with)

• Works Well With:
  • Hydrators: Hyaluronic Acid, Beta-Glucan, and Snail Mucin can be used with this kit to boost hydration.
  • Brighteners: Vitamin C, Niacinamide, and Arbutin can be layered with the ampoule to target hyperpigmentation.
  • Actives: The soothing nature of this kit makes it an excellent supporting routine to use alongside stronger treatments like Retinoids or prescription topicals (use on alternate nights or as advised by your clinician).
• Use Carefully With:
  • Other Exfoliants: The Toning Toner contains a gentle PHA. If you use other, stronger AHAs or BHAs, alternate their use to avoid over-exfoliation. Do not use them in the same routine.

Skin Type Compatibility (best fits and cautions)

• Excellent For: Sensitive, Irritated, Acne-Prone, Oily, Combination skin.
• Good For: Normal skin types looking for a gentle, balancing routine.
• Use With Caution: Very dry skin types may find the Soothing Cream is not occlusive enough, especially for night-time use in air-conditioned environments. They may need to layer a richer cream or a facial oil on top.

Targeted Concerns (what it helps to solve)

• Redness and Rosacea-like flushing
• Skin sensitivity and reactivity
• Irritation from environmental stressors or over-exfoliation
• Dehydration
• Compromised skin barrier
• Inflammatory acne

• Scent Profile: The products are virtually odorless or have a very faint, natural botanical scent from the extracts. The Cleansing Oil has a mild scent from Bergamot, Geranium, and Rose oils.
• EU Allergens: The cleansing oil contains Limonene, Linalool, Citronellol, and Geraniol, which are naturally occurring components of its essential oils. The other products are free from declared EU allergens. A patch test is always advised for reactive skin.

Full Safety & Patch Test Protocol (important precautions)

Who should use with caution:

• Fungal Acne (Malassezia Folliculitis): The Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil contains ingredients (Ethylhexyl Stearate, Olive Oil) that may trigger fungal acne. If you are prone to this condition, use the oil with caution or patch test on an affected area first. The other four products in the kit are generally considered fungal acne-safe.
• Highly Sensitive Skin: While designed for sensitivity, it’s wise to introduce any new routine slowly.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a pea-sized amount of one product to a small, clean area of skin, such as behind your ear or on your inner jawline.
2. Wait 24 hours. If you experience any redness, itching, or irritation, do not use the product.
3. If no reaction occurs, repeat for 2-3 more days to ensure delayed sensitivity does not occur.
4. Introduce one new product from the kit at a time, waiting a few days before adding the next.

For external use only. Avoid contact with eyes. Discontinue use if a rash or irritation occurs and persists.

Sensory & Chemical Profile (texture, feel, and formulation)

• Cleansing Oil: A very lightweight, thin oil that spreads easily and emulsifies into a light milk.
• Ampoule Foam: A creamy paste that lathers into a soft, rich foam. Rinses clean without tightness. pH is approximately 5.5.
• Toning Toner: A clear, watery liquid that absorbs instantly with no residue.
• Ampoule: A slightly viscous, golden-brown serum that feels hydrating and calming upon application.
• Soothing Cream: A translucent gel-cream hybrid with a bouncy texture. It feels cooling and refreshing, absorbing quickly to a natural, non-greasy finish.
• Fungal Acne (FA) Compatibility: The Cleansing Oil is not considered FA-safe. The other four products are generally FA-safe. Individual responses vary.

Troubleshooting Guide (fix common issues) (quick solutions)

• Issue: My skin feels tight after cleansing.
  • Solution: You may be using water that is too hot, or cleansing for too long. Use lukewarm water and ensure you are using the gentle Ampoule Foam. If you double cleansed, ensure the oil was fully rinsed.
• Issue: The Soothing Cream is pilling or rolling into balls.
  • Solution: This usually means you’ve applied too much product or haven’t allowed the previous layer (the Ampoule) to fully absorb. Use a smaller, pea-sized amount of cream and wait about 60 seconds after your ampoule before applying it.
• Issue: My skin still feels oily after using the Cleansing Oil.
  • Solution: Ensure you are properly emulsifying the oil. After massaging it on your dry face, wet your hands and massage again. The oil should turn milky white. This step is crucial for it to rinse away cleanly, taking dissolved impurities with it.

Climate Fit for Mauritius (local usage advice)

The SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella line is exceptionally well-suited for the hot and humid climate of Mauritius.

• Humid Summers: The lightweight textures of the toner, ampoule, and soothing gel-cream provide essential hydration and calming benefits without feeling heavy, sticky, or occlusive. The double cleanse effectively removes sweat, high-SPF sunscreen, and excess sebum from the day.
• Drier Winters / Air-Conditioning: The layering-friendly nature of the routine allows you to easily boost moisture. You can apply multiple layers of the Toning Toner or Ampoule. If the Soothing Cream doesn’t feel sufficient in a dry, air-conditioned room, you can layer your own richer moisturiser or a facial oil on top at night.
• Storage: To maintain freshness and potency, store the products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and bathroom humidity, such as a bedroom cabinet.

Authenticity & How to Verify (our sourcing guarantee)

At Adilsons, we guarantee 100% authenticity. All our SKIN1004 products are sourced directly from the brand or its authorized distributors in South Korea. Each product in the kit features standard Korean packaging cues, including a mix of English and Korean text, batch codes, and manufacturing/expiration dates. If you ever have a concern about a product’s authenticity, please contact us on WhatsApp with photos, and we will be happy to verify it for you.

Evidence & Sources (the science behind the product) (brand vs independent data)

• Centella Asiatica for Soothing: The key active, Centella Asiatica, is rich in compounds like madecassoside, asiaticoside, and asiatic acid. These triterpenoids have well-documented anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and wound-healing properties, making them effective at calming irritated skin and strengthening the skin barrier. (Ingredient Rationale)
• PHA (Gluconolactone) for Gentle Exfoliation: The Toning Toner uses PHA, a larger molecule acid compared to AHA or BHA. This means it penetrates more slowly and gently, exfoliating the surface of the skin to improve texture and brightness with a lower risk of irritation, making it suitable for daily use even on sensitive skin. (Ingredient Rationale)

Value, Cost-per-Use & Reorder Cadence (how long it lasts)

This kit is designed as an introduction to the SKIN1004 Centella line or as a convenient set for travel.

• Estimated Duration: With typical daily use (AM and PM), the products in this kit should last approximately 3 to 4 weeks.
• Purpose: This provides an excellent opportunity to test the entire routine on your skin for a full skin cycle (about 28 days) to see how it performs before investing in the full-sized versions.
• Reorder Cue: If you find the products work well for your skin, consider purchasing the full-sized versions of your favourites once you are about halfway through the mini bottles.
