Product Overview
A lightweight hydrating ampoule designed to be used immediately after cleansing to replenish moisture and prepare the skin for the next stages of the skincare ritual.
The formula combines Centella Asiatica with three forms of hyaluronic acid, supported by glycerin, propanediol and a broad range of botanical extracts. Niacinamide adds additional skin-conditioning and tone-supporting benefits.
Its fresh, lightweight texture makes it particularly suitable for dehydrated skin that wants hydration without a heavy or oily finish.
Why We Chose It
Glass Ritual chose the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica First Ampoule because it combines two valuable functions within a hydration routine: water-binding hydration and soothing support.
Sodium hyaluronate, hyaluronic acid and hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid provide complementary humectant support, while Centella Asiatica helps soothe and condition the skin.
The addition of niacinamide, glycerin, propanediol and botanical extracts creates a versatile first-step ampoule that can work across several skin types, particularly when dehydration occurs alongside sensitivity or occasional discomfort.

Ritual Position
As a first-step booster:
Cleanse → SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica First Ampoule → Toner → Essence/Serum → Moisturiser
Simplified hydration ritual:

Glass Ritual Pairing
For oily but dehydrated skin, pair with a lightweight moisturiser to help retain hydration without unnecessarily adding several rich layers.
For dry and dehydrated skin, follow with a more emollient moisturiser to provide additional moisture-retention support.
For sensitive-feeling dehydrated skin, its combination of Centella Asiatica and humectants makes it a useful hydration step before moisturiser.
