About the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Retinol 0.2 Boosting Shot Ampoule (30ml)

If you've been waiting for the right moment to add retinol to your routine, this is it. The Madagascar Centella Retinol 0.2 Boosting Shot Ampoule combines retinol with retinal, a form of vitamin A that skin converts more readily, and delivers them through SKIN1004's Boosting Shot system for more efficient absorption. The result is a formula built around visible results: smoother texture, refined skin, and the appearance of fine lines visibly improved with consistent use.

What makes the formula particularly clever is the Boosting Shot system: a delivery approach designed to help support absorption and leave skin looking healthier and more refreshed with continued use. Squalane and a lipid-rich base give the formula its texture, keeping the actives stable and skin comfortable throughout.

The rest of the formula works to keep skin comfortable and conditioned alongside the actives. Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract, derived from Sea Buckthorn, brings antioxidant support, while Panthenol conditions and Sodium Hyaluronate draws in moisture to maintain hydration levels. Adenosine supports the look of firmness over time, and Madecassoside alongside Centella Asiatica Extract helps calm the appearance of redness so skin stays settled with use.

The lightweight serum texture blends in easily, leaving skin feeling nourished and comfortable. Suitable for all skin types, it's best introduced gradually, every few evenings to start, so your skin has time to build up to regular use.

Part of SKIN1004’s high-performance Lab In Nature line, a derma-skincare collection that pairs targeted actives with the brand’s signature soothing Madagascar Centella Asiatica.

Ingredients in SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Retinol 0.2 Boosting Shot Ampoule (30ml)

Retinol: One of skincare's most studied vitamin A derivatives, retinol helps to visibly improve the appearance of fine lines, skin texture and overall radiance with consistent use.

Retinal (Retinaldehyde): A closer precursor to retinoic acid than retinol, retinal is thought to work more efficiently while remaining suitable for use in leave-on cosmetic formulations. Together with retinol, it forms the core vitamin A complex in this ampoule.

Squalane: A lightweight, skin-identical lipid derived from plant sources, squalane helps to replenish and lock in moisture without feeling heavy or greasy, making it particularly well-suited to pairing with active ingredients.

Adenosine: A naturally occurring compound known for its ability to help skin appear firmer and smoother, and a popular ingredient in K-beauty formulations focused on visible skin quality.

Hippophae Rhamnoides (Sea Buckthorn) Fruit Extract: Rich in antioxidants, sea buckthorn extract helps to support the skin's appearance when it is exposed to environmental stressors.

Centella Asiatica Extract and Madecassoside: The signature complex running through SKIN1004's entire Madagascar Centella range. Centella Asiatica is widely known for its calming and soothing properties, and Madecassoside is one of its most active components, helping skin feel settled and comfortable.

Panthenol (Provitamin B5): A well-regarded humectant that helps attract and retain moisture, leaving skin feeling soft and comfortable to the touch.

Hydrogenated Lecithin: A phospholipid that helps to support the skin's natural barrier feel and aids in the smooth, even absorption of actives.

How to use SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Retinol 0.2 Boosting Shot Ampoule (30ml)

After cleansing and toning, treat your skin to this retinoid ampoule as a targeted step before moisturiser.

1. Dispense a few drops of the ampoule into clean palms or directly onto fingertips.

2. Apply evenly across the face, avoiding the immediate eye area.

3. Pat gently into the skin rather than rubbing to encourage absorption.

4. Follow with your usual moisturiser to help seal in the active and support your skin barrier.

5. Use in the evening, as retinoids can increase sensitivity to sunlight. Always apply SPF the following morning.

Caution: As with all retinoid-containing products, begin with less frequent use (two to three evenings per week) and build gradually as your skin acclimatises. Avoid use if pregnant or breastfeeding without seeking medical guidance first. Keep away from the eye contour. If irritation occurs, discontinue use.
