SKIN1004 Centella Skincare Set: What's In It (Australia)
When skin is red, reactive or over-treated, the last thing it needs is a twelve-step routine. A centella skincare set is a popular answer: a short, matched routine built around one calming ingredient. Here is what is in the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Complete Skincare Set, how to use it, and who it is likely to suit.
We sell this set, so read this with that in mind. Everything about the products comes from our product page, and prices are as at the time of writing.
What is centella?
Centella asiatica, also called cica or gotu kola, is a plant used widely in Korean skincare for its calming reputation. In skincare it is usually included to help soothe the look of redness and support a stressed skin barrier. It is a cosmetic ingredient, and it is not a treatment for a skin condition.
What is in the SKIN1004 Centella Complete Set?
The five-step routine on our product page includes:
- Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil ($25.99): massaged onto dry skin, emulsified with a little water, then rinsed.
- Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam ($24.99): a second, lathering cleanse.
- Madagascar Centella Toning Toner ($28.99): our page lists 84% centella asiatica extract in this toner.
- Madagascar Centella Asiatica Ampoule ($25.99): a serum step, patted in.
- Madagascar Centella Soothing Cream 75 ml ($28.00): the final step.
The set is $132 in total. The key ingredients named on the page include centella asiatica extract, niacinamide, hyaluronic acid, citric acid (an AHA) and betaine. Because there is a mild acid in the routine, patch test first and introduce it gradually.
How to use it
- Evening: cleansing oil on dry skin, then the foam, toner, ampoule and cream.
- Morning: you can skip the oil, then foam, toner, ampoule and cream.
- Sunscreen every morning. Cancer Council Australia recommends SPF 50+ daily when the UV index is 3 or above. See our sunscreen collection.
Who it suits
The brand positions this set for sensitive, irritated and acne-prone skin. It is a good fit if you want fewer, calmer steps. If your skin is very reactive, or you are using prescription treatments, check with your doctor before adding new products. For a barrier-focused read, see our guide to ceramides and rebuilding the skin barrier, and for redness-prone routines browse our redness-prone skin collection.

Around Australia
In humid Brisbane, Darwin and the Gold Coast, the lightweight steps suit summer, and you may want a thinner layer of cream. In Melbourne, Canberra and Hobart, winter heating dries skin out, so the cream matters most. In Sydney, Perth and Adelaide, sun and salt can leave skin reactive, so keep sunscreen steady and simplify after a beach weekend.
