"It's got ceramides and macadamia nut oil as well. [...] It's really [...] on the thick side, so I typically use this one as an evening moisturizer. Sometimes if you're going to use retinoids, this one's great for the sandwich method of retinoids to use a thick moisturizer, then use your retinoid and then another thick moisturizer to kind of seal it in and help prevent against dryness, flakiness, and all that good stuff."

SKIN 1004 - Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Essence Toner Review & How to Use

"It's loaded with emollient and nourishing fatty acids high in oleic acid and linoleic acid, which makes a very good emollient, great for dry skin types. There's a nice list of skin-soothing antioxidants and humectants, which are really nice. [...] I really love the moisturizer from this line. It's so thick. I'll probably be using it this winter a lot."

Best Hydrating Moisturizers for Fall & Winter ❄️🍁🍀 Say Goodbye to Dry Skin

"The Skin1004 Probio-Cica Rich Cream is 14 bucks, so it's a little bit more affordable. It's fragrance free with a thick cream texture. [...] This one is best at night unless you have very, very dry skin. You could probably make it work during the daytime, but I prefer this one at night. It's got centella, macadamia nut oil, moringa seed oil, ceramides, cocoa extract. I would say this is best for dry and dehydrated skin types. It is not friendly for acne prone skin at all."

"This one's great for dry skin. I'll say that right off the bat. [...] We've got [...] Lactobacillus Ferment, shea butter, squalane, macadamia oil, madecassic acid. This stuff, when it says enrich, it is rich. It's really nice. Thick, but not too thick to where you couldn't use it during the day if you have drier skin, but it soaks in really nicely and feels great on your skin."

"Skin1004 is slowly grown to become one of my favorite brands just out of nowhere. The first two products from them I tried I wasn't blown away with, but the more I've tried from them, some of their sunscreens and things, they've really grown to impress me and they've really grown on me and I'm really happy about that."

"The Ordinary stuff's more expensive. [...] It's super thick though so keep that in mind, so if you have skin that's on the oilier side it is thick, very thick, but it's really nice for evening routines. In here we've got Centella, Macadamia Oil, we've got Coco extract, adenosine, matasic acid. It's wonderful. This is probably my favorite line from Skin1004 at this point, very nice line. The toner from it's great, the serum's really nice."

SKIN 1004 Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Enrich Face Cream Review & Dupes

"I think it delivers on both accounts. It definitely helps with the skin barrier, it has some nice skin-identical ingredients and barrier-repairing ingredients and emollients. It also helps with skin texture and offers a nice healthy appearance, gives skin a little bit of a glow, feels nice. [...] It's extremely hydrating. I wouldn't recommend it for all skin types. I would say this is good for dry and extremely dry skin and some sensitive skin types. For oily or normal skin it might be too much."

"I've got the Skin1004 Probio-Cica Rich Cream which is from their lineup. They also have a toner that's lovely and a serum that's lovely in this lineup. It's a super thick moisturizer. If you have drier skin it's really nice, or if you like to use this one for oily skin you can use it at night. This one's great for me during the winter time because it is so, so thick."

Here we've got a lot of goodies we've got centella, shea butter, squalane, macadamia nut oil, ceramides, cocoa extract, arbutin. Lovely product, very thick. [...] It is thick though, it's probably going to be too thick for the daytime for some people, especially oilier skin, but at night it's lovely. Well worth checking out."

"Love it. They are phasing out the old Madagascar Centella version and replacing it with this, which has Cica in a hyper concentrated form. [...] It delivers the same as the old one, but with added calming and soothing because the Cica is a step up. It's fractionally more expensive, [...] they added about a pound 50 on, [...] but I'm not ridiculously mad because I think you are getting a little extra value from it. [...] It's a really nice moisturizer and it's great for summer."

#1 KOREAN SKINCARE BRAND - The Best Korean Skin care Brand 2023

"It looks so much more expensive than it actually is. It's also beautiful on the skin. If you've got a very dry skin type you can use multiple layers of this, it works really well on top of itself, just leave like 20 seconds between each application. If like me you're super oily and acne prone, one light layer is more than enough. Put that on the skin and it's like a drink of water, like your skin just soaks it all in. It plumps everything out, deeply nourishes it, hydrates."

"This is a skin1004 Madagascar centella probio cica rich cream. [...] It's so so good I think it's worth typing day in day out. This has a beautiful blend of centella and the humectants and hydrators, it's got some calming and soothing ingredients and it's just a great all round way to finish off your evening skincare routine."

"It's [...] fragrance free, which I like. [...] I tend to reach for this more in the winter when my skin needs that extra drink of hydration as opposed to the summer where I'm oily, but it's great. It's one that I always have on hand. It comes with this little spatulate thing where you can scoop some out with this side and massage in with this, which is great for getting into the nooks and crannies under the eye. It's a lovely moisturizer."

2023 SKINCARE AWARDS - Best In Skincare 2023

"It blends in so so well and it's a sort of product that can layer on top of itself. If you have oily acne prone skin, one small layer of this is all you need. If you've got drier skin, put a layer of this on, wait a minute, put another layer on top and it'll just double the benefits. You're gonna see calms, soothes, hydrates and I wish you could feel this through the screen. Genuinely feels like you're wearing nothing but a beautiful veil of hydration. So so good."

"The formulation is to die for. You get this [...] with a spatula on one end and a little ball to do some massage, great for getting into those little crevices. It's [...] so rich and it's hydrating, and that centella asiatica in here is going to calm and soothe. It's also got some ingredients that are going to support the microbiome of the skin, and I love that because that's great, especially if you're acne or breakout prone. This is a sort of moisturizer you could definitely use."

"I think the best of the best when it comes to a Korean moisturizer is this, the Skin1004 Probio-Cica Rich Cream. This is probably on the thicker side of the moisturizers I'm mentioning today, so if you want to transition to a summer moisturizer but you have a drier skin type, this is probably the one I'd go for."

"This is the Probio-Cica Rich Cream, a stunningly lightweight moisturizer that you can put on your skin and it's great for summer. This is one of my go-to summer moisturizers, lightweight but actually packs a punch with that hydration. So if you're looking for a nice lightweight moisturizer that actually works, this is great. And it's also got some micro bio supporting ingredients in here, so great if you've got a damaged or impaired barrier function."

"It's a little bit more hydrating than the gel option, but it's in a cream form. It's super breathable you put it on the skin and you're getting that dose of hydration but you're not feeling weighed down, which I absolutely love. It's the more budget friendly option. Both are absolutely stunning if you're looking to minimize inflammation, calm any redness that you might have in the skin, and get just a little bit extra hydration than what you'll normally get from a lightweight moisturizer."

"This is a dry mature skin moisturizer with a thick texture, slight sand, and it doesn't spread easily, you apply it and then wait for it to absorb. On acne prone skin it's a bit heavy, and the jar packaging is a minus. It's not terrible, but also not something I'd recommend buying."

"For when it is really, really cold outside, I want something that deeply nourishes my skin, but not something that is greasy. I still can't stand the oil slick, slugging feeling on my skin. [...] It's their line aimed at mature skin and I feel for me they tick all the boxes and are quite affordable. [...] For me, it's the texture and the way it makes my skin feel that makes this one outstanding and worth repurchasing."

"The Skin 1004 Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Enrich Cream is from the probio-cica line aimed at more mature skin, which they do [...] very well. [...] It has the right amount of nourishment and richness without being greasy or breaking me out or giving me millia. It has probiotic ingredients and centella asiatica; I don't actively seek those out, [...] I just want my moisturizer to [...] keep my skin happy, calm and moisturized, and that one is great for that."

"This is a holy grail favorite from Skin1004, their Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Rich Cream. This is so rich, so glossy. This has a completely different texture than anything we've talked about here. It's not sticky. [...] It's got a little bit of slipperiness to it. It really just envelops your skin in this cloak of glossiness. [...] This cream is really excellent, very rich. Again, excellent eye cream."

"The corresponding Probio-Cica Rich Cream also has that slippery, glossy, glisteny texture to it. It's very rich, it's very thick, very similar ingredient profile. Both of these are free of fragrance. I enjoy using this cream not just on my face but also on my neck."

"I'm making my way through the last of the Skin1004 Probio-Cica Rich Cream. [...] Love it, definitely check it out if you want to dip your toes in Korean skincare products or anything from this brand outside of their fantastic sunscreens. This line I discovered last year and I really want to repurchase the serum even though I don't need that at the moment because I have enough things in rotation here that I want to finish up."

Scalp Care & What's In My Closet

"This paired with this cream is also a favorite in this line, the Probio-Cica Rich Cream, because it's all textural for me and of course the ingredients are good, the formulation is good, fragrance-free. It's just a pleasure to apply."

Skincare Products I Can't Believe I Used Up

"I purchased last year and I recently finished it up. So nice, very glossy, very silky. It has a ferment with centella which is anti-inflammatory, free of fragrance. The ingredient list is really simple. This is a very luxurious silky texture, it has almost a slippery feel, it's very glossy, very emollient, wonderful for improving the appearance of fine lines. Would I repurchase this?"

"This is a heavier cream, which is hard to find in K-beauty, and it delivers: it's a thick, thick cream. Thickness doesn't perfectly correlate with how moisturizing a product is, but for me this is a very moisturizing, nourishing cream. I love that they include a scoop in the packaging since it's thick enough that you need one, and it is instantly moisturizing, giving immediate relief from dryness. [...] I forgot how much I love this."

"When you ferment centella, it really kind of opens up a lot of the vitamins, minerals, the probiotics, all of that that's so good for the health of your skin. It helps with your skin microbiome, which is actually something that is a defensive mechanism within your skin that actually works in tandem with your skin barrier. It just also can help to really enhance the benefits of centella."
