What customers say

5.0 ★ · 3 reviews

  • Recently I started getting dark spots maybe due to stress, I’ve tried a lot of products from k skin aura but the one thing that works really well is this product! It’s soothing and my dark spots are lightening up. I’ll definitely be buying this again

    Mariola

  • I bought this because the ingredients looked great for helping with blemishes and uneven skin tone — and honestly, I’ve seen a real difference after using it consistently.
    The formula is gentle, so it’s been great on my sensitive skin. No irritation at all.
    And the bottle is huge — such good value. If you’re dealing with discoloration or dullness, this is definitely worth trying.

SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Tone Brightening Capsule Ampoule is a light ampoule with niacinamide, tranexamic acid, a vitamin C derivative and centella, plus soft capsules that melt as you pat it in. It helps even the look of skin tone, dark spots and dullness for a clearer, more radiant glow.

What it does

Niacinamide and tranexamic acid are well-known ingredients for uneven-looking tone and the marks breakouts leave behind. 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid, a stable vitamin C derivative, adds radiance, while centella, madecassoside and panthenol keep skin comfortable. SKIN1004 describe the capsules as holding Madewhite, their patented ingredient for a brighter-looking complexion.

Why we chose it

It is an easy first brightening step: there is no retinoid, no exfoliating acid and no fragrance in the listed ingredients, and it has an essence-like feel that layers under almost anything. By day it pairs well with Beauty of Joseon Relief Sun: Rice + Probiotics.

Best for

  • Uneven-looking tone and dullness
  • The look of dark spots and post-blemish marks
  • Brightening without strong acids or retinoids
  • Normal, dry or combination skin

Not ideal if

  • You already use Anua Niacinamide 10 + TXA 4 Serum or a similar serum: choose one rather than layering both
  • You want a targeted treatment for stubborn dark spots: this is an everyday tone and radiance ampoule, and SKIN1004 do not state its percentages

Key ingredients

  • Niacinamide: a more even-looking tone and barrier support
  • Tranexamic acid: the look of dark spots and post-blemish marks
  • 3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid (vitamin C derivative): radiance
  • Centella asiatica extract and madecassoside: comfort
  • Panthenol and betaine: hydration

Texture and finish

Essence-like, with soft white capsules that vanish as you pat. SKIN1004 describe the finish as soft and non-sticky.

Where it goes in your routine

After cleansing and toner, before moisturiser, morning and evening. Apply an appropriate amount to the face and neck and pat to help it absorb, as SKIN1004 direct. Finish with sunscreen in the morning.

What to expect

Skin feels hydrated and looks fresher soon after applying. Changes in dark spots and overall tone build gradually with daily use and daily sunscreen.

What are the little white capsules?

SKIN1004 describe them as holding Madewhite, their patented ingredient for a brighter-looking complexion. They are soft and disappear as you pat the ampoule in, so you won't feel bits on your skin.

How is it different from the Anua Niacinamide 10 + TXA 4 Serum?

Both use niacinamide and tranexamic acid, so choose one rather than layering both. This ampoule has no exfoliating ingredient and SKIN1004 don't state its percentages, so we see it as an everyday tone and radiance step. The Anua serum states 10% niacinamide and 4% tranexamic acid and is the more targeted choice for dark spots.

Can sensitive skin use it?

Often, yes. There is no fragrance, no essential oil, no retinoid and no exfoliating acid in the listed ingredients, and it contains centella and madecassoside. It does contain niacinamide and a vitamin C derivative, so patch test first if your skin reacts easily.

Can oily skin use it?

Yes, in most cases. SKIN1004 list it for normal, dry and combination skin, but it is an essence-like ampoule with a soft, non-sticky finish, so it can sit well on oily skin too. Follow with a lighter moisturiser if your skin gets shiny.

Can I use it with a vitamin C serum or a retinoid?

It already contains a vitamin C derivative (3-O-ethyl ascorbic acid). If you want to use it alongside a separate vitamin C serum or a retinoid, introduce one product at a time so you can tell how your skin responds.
