Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Centella Asiatica Extract is derived from an herb plant native to Southeast Asia. It is rich in antioxidants and amino acids. In skincare products, Centella Asiatica Extract is used for its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties.
Many active components found in Centella Asiatica Extract, such as Madecassic Acid and Asiaticoside, encourage the skin to naturally produce hyaluronic acid. This helps keep our skin hydrated. Many of these components also show antioxidant activity and may help reduce the signs of aging.
Research shows Centella Asiatica can help increase Type I collagen production by increasing fibroblast production. Fibroblast helps form connective tissue.
The combination of all these properties makes Centella Asiatica Extract effective at soothing the skin.
Other components of Centella Asiatic Extract include Vitamin A, vitamin C, several B vitamins, and Asiatic Acid.
Recent studies found madecassoside may help prevent damage from UV rays by preventing UV-induced inflammation. Further research is needed.
This plant has been used as a medicine and in food for many centuries. As a medicine, it is used to treat burns, scratches, and wounds.

This is SO good. I got it as a sample t and immediately fell in love with it. It soothes my oily & acne-prone skin, without causing any breakouts at all, which is difficult sometimes because most of the calming products come with a lot of oils and buttery ingredients that aren't any good for oily skin types. The formula is super lightweight and gets absorbed really easily, without any pilling or stickiness. And the best part is the price, it's totally inexpensive, specially if you buy the 100ml bottle (the regular one for this product is 50ml, but keep in mind that any other serum in the market is usually 30ml, so it's way bigger).

I think the sourcing of centella makes a difference in the quality of the product and I don't think any company has a better centella than Skin1004 since their entire product line is centered around this ingredient. I like all of their toners but this one is my favorite since the centella is fermented. This is my go-to toner because it feels so great on my skin.
