PRODUCT EXPERIENCE
I’ve been using this ampoule sporadically for more than 6 months now and I can say that it has been doing a good job in moisturizing and calming my sensitive skin. In fact, I have noticed that the product works remarkably when I’m breaking out or when my skin is irritated. I don’t see much difference when I use it on my good-skin days. So I figure that this is definitely a good ampoule for bad-skin days, especially when I’m breaking out, but not really an essential on good-skin days.
As for the lightening properties, i've noticed that it only evened out my skin tone after 3 months of usage so this will not work if you really want to lighten certain dark marks in an instant.

The Skin 1004 Ampoule seems to do a fantastic job at soothing and repairing my skin and improving its texture. I usually get tiny bumps on my forehead or the chin area during my hormonal acne breakouts and this one really does the job in calming all the angry bumps. I particularly appreciate the Ampoule’s moisturizing properties on my bad-skin days, because I feel that it already gives my skin the moisture it needs, so I can just slap my other skin care essentials all over my face afterwards to seal everything in.
This is a good make up base especially if you already have good skin and just want that extra glow. You won't even have to put moisturizer afterwards. This one will work for all skin types because the consistency is very liquid-y like water so it absorbs fast on the skin and dries quickly.
Rating: 10/10
Will I repurchase?
I honestly don’t know yet because I feel like this 100ml bottle is going to last forever! And I’m also about to try other Centella Asiatica products, so we’ll see. But whether I would recommend it, the answer is YES, I would recommend it to those with acne-prone and/or sensitive skin types. But if you have normal skin, I don’t think you’d appreciate it (or at least not as much as those with acne-prone skin would do) because the effects aren't that noticeable unless you use the product for a long time.
