SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Matrixyl 10 Boosting Shot Ampoule 30ml

SKIN1004 Matrixyl 10 Boosting Shot Ampoule 30ml is built around 10% Matrixyl 3000, a peptide complex of Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1 and Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7 from the French company Sederma, alongside 5% Volufiline and hyaluronic acid. Micro-sized spicules (around 13 microns) help push the actives deeper into the skin than a standard topical application, which can cause a mild tingling sensation or temporary redness immediately after use.

Why You'll Love It

• 10% Matrixyl 3000, one of the most studied peptide complexes in skincare, at a concentrated level
• 5% Volufiline helps support the skin's own hyaluronic acid production from within
• Micro-sized spicules carry the actives deeper into the skin than standard application
• A moisture-rich semi-emulsion texture that absorbs without stickiness
• Centella Asiatica extract and panthenol keep the formula calming despite its active-forward profile

Key Ingredients

• Volufiline (5%), derived from Anemarrhena Asphodeloides Root Extract, supports the skin's own hydration and volume
• Hydrolyzed Sponge (Spicules) creates temporary micro-channels to help deliver the actives more deeply

How to Use

Patch test before first use. For the first two to three weeks, apply a small amount two to three times a week to allow the skin to adjust to the spicule texture. After this adaptation period, it can be used daily: apply after toning, massage in gently, and follow with a moisturiser. Avoid the eye and lip area, and always follow with sunscreen in the morning.

Suitable For

Normal, dry, dehydrated and mature skin looking for firming and hydration support. Not recommended on irritated, broken or actively inflamed skin.

About SKIN1004

SKIN1004 built its reputation on Centella Asiatica sourced from Madagascar, and the Matrixyl 10 Boosting Shot Ampoule is part of the brand's LAB IN NATURE Boosting Shot line, alongside Niacinamide 10 and Retinol 0.2 ampoules using the same spicule delivery system. The brand's name plays on the Korean word for angel, tying back to its soothing, skin-first identity. See the full SKIN1004 range for the rest of the Boosting Shot line.

FAQ

Q: Why does my skin tingle after applying this ampoule?
Ans: The micro-sized spicules create temporary micro-channels in the skin to help deliver the actives more deeply, and a mild tingling or temporary redness is a normal response that typically settles within one to two hours.

Q: How should I introduce this ampoule into my routine?
Ans: Start with two to three applications a week for the first two to three weeks, then move to daily use once your skin has adapted.

Q: Is this suitable for sensitive skin?
Ans: It's been through irritation testing, but the spicule texture is more active than a standard ampoule, so a patch test and gradual introduction is recommended for sensitive or reactive skin.

Q: Can I use this around the eyes?
Ans: The brand recommends avoiding direct contact with the eyes and lips; a separate eye cream is better suited to that area.
