SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Tone Brightening Capsule Ampoule 50ml

SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Tone Brightening Capsule Ampoule 50ml takes the brand's usual Centella Asiatica base and layers three brightening actives on top: niacinamide, tranexamic acid and 3-O-Ethyl Ascorbic Acid, a stable form of vitamin C. It's part of the Tone Brightening line, built for skin that looks dull or uneven rather than just reactive, while keeping the calming centella foundation the brand is known for.

Why You'll Love It

• Combines three brightening actives, niacinamide, tranexamic acid and vitamin C, with a centella base instead of a single-note formula
• Gel-like texture that sits between a watery essence and a thicker serum
• Includes the brand's own MadeWhite complex alongside panthenol for added comfort
• Targets dullness and uneven tone without dropping the barrier-supporting role centella plays
• Fits into a morning routine before sunscreen, or an evening one before moisturiser

Key Ingredients

• Niacinamide supports a more even-looking skin tone over regular use
• Tranexamic Acid pairs with niacinamide to target the look of dark spots and unevenness
• Centella Asiatica Extract keeps the formula's soothing base consistent with the rest of the range
• Panthenol supports comfort and hydration alongside the brightening actives

FAQ

Q: What does the Tone Brightening Capsule Ampoule actually target?
Ans: It's formulated with niacinamide, tranexamic acid and vitamin C to help support a more even-looking skin tone and reduce the appearance of dullness.

Q: Is this different from the regular Madagascar Centella Ampoule?
Ans: Yes, this version is part of the Tone Brightening line and adds niacinamide, tranexamic acid and vitamin C on top of the usual centella base, rather than centella alone.

Q: Can I use this alongside other vitamin C or acid products?
