SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Blue Serum Review

Centella Asiatica in skincare is not going anywhere anytime soon. And if you think of Centella, SKIN1004 is definitely the K-Beauty brand that will pop in your head!

The brand gained great popularity with their best-selling Madagascar Centella line, specifically the ampoule, which I’ve listed as one of the most popular products in my centella asiatica post.

What I’m reviewing today is not the OG Centella ampoule, but an interesting serum from the Hyalu-Cica line that I’ve been trying out recently.

Have you tried this Korean skincare brand before? What's your favorite product from them?

Skincare ingredient spotlight - Centella Asiatica🌿

When reading reviews on skincare products a few days ago, I came across the ingredient Centella Asiatica for the first time. Straight away I looked it up, and found out it’s been a popular ingredient in Asian food and medicine for many years. It’s now become a sought-after skincare ingredient, in Asia and the Western world. So what makes it so special? 🧐 

Centella Asiatica (also known as tiger grass) is a herb that lives for many years.

It mainly grows in Asia, and has since become a hot ingredient in Korean beauty and skincare.

Estee Lauder have also used it on and off over the years!

The reason people love it is because it claims to soothe and hydrate skin.

It does this with its potent antioxidants and amino acids - both of these properties help calm down inflammation and moisturise the skin. 

There is also evidence to suggest that Centella Asiatica can reverse sun damage and help repair the skin’s barrier. 

So if your skin needs some soothing, nourishing care, this ingredient could help you!

COSRX Centella Water Alcohol-Free Toner review

7/10

Centella asiatica leaf water is a healing ingredient that helps soothe irritated skin and calm inflammed red skin. This toner does not contain irritants such as alcohol, parabens, and artificial coloring.

I use this as my 2nd toner ( hydrating toner ) after using an exfoliating toner. It soothes my skin, especially when having breakouts. I don't really see any improvements that wow-ed me after using this toner, but it does not irritate my skin either.

Repurchase? Maybe.

Ingredients:

Water, Centella Asiatica Leaf Water, Butylene Glycol , 1,2-Hexanediol, Betaine, Panthenol, Allantoin, Ethyl Hexanediol, Sodium Hyaluronate

Tips for Using Cica (Centella Asiatica) in Your Skincare Routine

🌿 Store your Cica products in a cool place to enhance their soothing, anti-inflammatory effect on irritated skin.

💧 Apply Cica on slightly damp skin to help lock in hydration more effectively.

🧴 Look for “madecassoside” or “asiaticoside” on labels for more potent formulations.

🔁 Consistency matters—Cica works best when used regularly, not just during flare-ups.

🔬 Cica pairs especially well with ceramides for stronger barrier-repair benefits.

☀️ Use Cica in your morning routine to help protect skin from daily environmental stressors.

🌙 Layer a richer Cica cream at night to support overnight skin recovery.

🧖‍♀️ Use a Cica sheet mask before events to calm redness and prep your skin.

🧪 Don’t mix too many actives at once—let Cica support your skin without overwhelming it.
