Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Enrich Cream

The "Probio" part is Lactobacillus Ferment at 10 ppm, so it's a trace, supporting ingredient. Centella extract is far more substantial at 6,108 ppm, about 0.6%. The cream's real strength is its rich, barrier-supporting base of shea butter, squalane, plant oils, ceramide NP and phytosphingosine, plus Korean-certified niacinamide and adenosine.

No. The ingredient list contains no fragrance and no essential oils, unlike the Skin1004 Centella Cream. It has also completed a skin irritation test, so it suits dry, sensitive skin that reacts to scented products. As with any new cream, patch-test on your jawline first if your skin is very reactive.

Use it as the last step of your skincare, morning and evening. Take an appropriate amount, spread it over your face, then press gently with both palms to help it absorb, as the box recommends. On very dry patches, apply a slightly thicker layer at night. In the morning, finish with sunscreen.

It's designed for normal to dry skin and is the richest cream in the Skin1004 Centella line, so oily skin will likely find it too heavy. If your skin is oily or combination, the light, fragrance-free Skin1004 Hyalu-Cica Moisture Cream is a better choice. Combination skin can use Probio-Cica only on dry areas in winter.

Choose Hyalu-Cica Moisture Cream for light, fragrance-free hydration for any skin type. Choose Probio-Cica Enrich Cream for rich, fragrance-free care for dry or tight skin. Choose Centella Cream for nourishing moisture with plant oils if your skin tolerates essential oils. All three are certified in Korea for brightening and wrinkle care.

Both are rich, fragrance-free creams for dry skin. Probio-Cica Enrich adds Korean-certified brightening and wrinkle care from niacinamide and adenosine, with more centella and ceramide NP. Dr. Althea 147 focuses on barrier protection with ectoin and squalane. Choose Probio-Cica if you also want brightening, and 147 if your priority is calming a stressed barrier.

Yes, and it's a great partner for retinol and retinal. Its rich, fragrance-free formula helps cushion skin that's adjusting to vitamin A and may feel dry or flaky. Apply your retinoid first, let it absorb, then follow with this cream. If your skin is very sensitive, you can also apply a thin layer before the retinoid.

Yes. It's ideal for men with dry skin, or skin that feels tight and rough after shaving, cold weather or outdoor sport. It's fragrance-free, so it won't sting freshly shaved skin, and niacinamide and adenosine help even out tone and soften early fine lines. Apply after cleansing and shaving, morning and evening.
