Madagascar Centella Ampoule Sizes, Amount and Order of Use
Madagascar Centella Ampoule sizes, how much to use, and the order to apply it, with pH, texture and skin type fit from SKIN1004.
Updated October 2026
SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule comes in 100ml, 55ml and 30ml, and it costs USD 17.60 for the 100ml size. The formula centers on Centella Asiatica Extract, carried in a watery gel base that sinks in with no stickiness, and it suits oily, dry, combination and sensitive skin alike because the pH sits between 5.5 and 7.5, close to skin's own range. Dry skin can layer it under a heavier cream, oily skin can use it alone, and sensitive skin benefits from a formula with only 7 listed ingredients.
What is in Madagascar Centella Ampoule
The full ingredient list runs Water, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Centella Asiatica Extract, 1,2-Hexanediol, Cellulose Gum, Ethylhexylglycerin, seven ingredients in total, with no filler actives competing for space. Glycerin and Butylene Glycol handle moisturizing, drawing water into the surface layer and keeping it there, while Centella Asiatica Extract gives the formula its soothing identity. There is no fragrance, no essential oil and no ethanol in this formula, so skin that reacts to scent or to drying alcohol can use it comfortably every day. The texture is a light, watery gel that absorbs with no sticky residue, which is why it layers easily under sunscreen or makeup.
Who it suits by skin type
Oily skin gets a lightweight layer that does not add heaviness, and a human application test recorded a 45.72% improvement rate in excess sebum levels after a single use (n=22). Dry skin pulls in more moisture because the formula is made to pair with a richer cream on top, and the same test line recorded a 142.28% immediate improvement rate in hydration and moisturization after one use (n=22). Combination skin benefits from being able to use the same ampoule across both oily and dry zones of the face. Sensitive skin finds the pH range and the free-from profile reassuring, and the formula has completed a noncomedogenic human application test, meaning it is not expected to clog pores.
Sizes and price
The global lineup (USD) has 100ml, 55ml and 30ml, giving a size for a first try and a size for a committed routine. The 100ml bottle costs USD 17.60, which works out to a low per-ml cost for a formula used daily, morning and night. Smaller sizes make sense for travel or for testing fit before committing to the full bottle. Across every size, the ingredient list and pH stay identical, so the only variable is how long the bottle lasts.

Madagascar Centella Ampoule sits in the ampoule step of a routine, and SKIN1004 also lists it through the on-site product page where the full facts above sit alongside the other Centella items in the line.
How to use it, in what order, and when to adjust
Apply it after cleansing and toning, before cream, since the watery gel texture needs to sit on slightly damp skin to spread evenly.
- Cleanse and tone as usual.
- Dispense 2-3 drops into the palm or directly onto the face.
- Pat gently until absorbed, focusing on areas prone to redness or dryness.
- Follow with a cream to seal in the moisture, and with sunscreen in the morning.
A few drops are enough per application since the gel spreads thin and absorbs quickly. Skin that runs dry in cold weather can add a second thin layer before cream, while oily skin can usually stop at one. In winter or in dry, heated rooms, pair the ampoule with a thicker cream to hold in the extra moisture it delivers. In summer or on oily skin, a single layer under a light lotion or sunscreen is usually enough since the gel already feels weightless. Skin that is flushed or freshly irritated benefits from applying the ampoule right after cleansing, before any actives, so the soothing base reaches the surface first. On days when skin feels tight after washing, adding one more thin layer before the next step restores comfort while keeping the same routine order.
What to pair it with, what to keep apart, and mistakes to avoid
Madagascar Centella Ampoule layers well under cream, under sunscreen, and under makeup because the texture leaves no residue once absorbed. It also pairs naturally with other centella-based steps in the line, such as a centella cleanser or a centella cream, since none of them compete for space with fragrance or alcohol. Keep thick, waxy balms off the skin right before this ampoule, since a heavy layer underneath can block even absorption of the watery gel. There is no need to apply it twice in the same spot during one routine, since one or two thin layers already deliver the hydration result seen in testing.
Using too much product per application wastes the formula with no added benefit, since 2-3 drops already cover the face evenly. Skipping cream afterward on dry skin lets the hydration evaporate faster than it should, so sealing it in matters more than the ampoule itself. Applying it over a thick layer of sunscreen or makeup instead of before them blocks even absorption and leaves patchy coverage.
How the Centella line differs by size and result
The table below shows what to choose between across the sizes and the result each one is tied to.
| Size or product | Price and size | pH | Result and timing |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100ml bottle | USD 17.60 / 100ml | 5.5-7.5 | 142.28% hydration improvement, n=22, after 1 use |
| 55ml bottle | smaller size for routine use | 5.5-7.5 | same formula, same sebum result, 45.72% n=22 |
| 30ml bottle | smallest, travel size | 5.5-7.5 | same noncomedogenic test result applies |
This ampoule is not weaker or stronger in a smaller bottle, it is the identical formula at a different volume, so the choice comes down to how long the routine needs to last.
Madagascar Centella Ampoule from SKIN1004 stays consistent across every market because the ingredient list and pH do not change by region, which is part of why the hydration and sebum results above apply to every bottle sold.
