SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Essence Toner 210ml

SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Essence Toner, 210ml, sits between a light toner and a full essence, thicker than the brand's watery originals but still fast-absorbing. It's built around Centella Asiatica extract, ceramide NP, panthenol and a fermented Lactobacillus complex, aimed at skin that needs more comfort and barrier support than a standard hydrating toner provides.

Why You'll Love It

• Ceramide NP and panthenol support the skin's barrier alongside the usual centella base
• A fermented Lactobacillus complex adds a probiotic-style ingredient not found in the brand's original toners
• Trehalose and hyaluronate crosspolymer support hydration without a sticky or tacky after-feel
• Thicker, more cushioned texture than a standard toner, without being heavy
• Works as the first layering step for skin that's feeling dry, tight or reactive

Key Ingredients

• Centella Asiatica Extract anchors the formula's calming, barrier-focused base
• Ceramide NP supports the skin's barrier alongside the centella extract
• Panthenol helps keep the formula comfortable on reactive or sensitised skin

About SKIN1004

SKIN1004 built its reputation on Centella Asiatica sourced from Madagascar, and the Probio-Cica line extends that ingredient with fermented and ceramide-rich formulas for skin that needs extra barrier support. The brand's name plays on the Korean word for angel, reflecting its calming, skin-first identity. See the rest of the SKIN1004 range for the brand's lighter toners and heavier creams.
