Enlarged pores are typically a sebum and congestion issue — not a size issue — which means the most effective approach combines pore-clearing activity with barrier support rather than just pore-shrinking astringents. The Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Poremizing Fresh Ampoule works exactly that way.

The formula opens with Centella Asiatica Extract as its base, continuing SKIN1004's commitment to the Madagascar cica that defines their entire range. Centella here does the calming and barrier work while the rest of the formula addresses the pores directly.

The standout hero is Himalayan Pink Salt (Mineral Salts), enriched with 80 minerals. It acts as a natural impurity absorber — drawing excess oil and debris from inside the pore while its anti-inflammatory compounds reduce the redness and congestion that makes pores appear larger. Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract (10,000ppm) soothes and provides a burst of moisture.

Then comes the 9-Peptide Complex: Acetyl Hexapeptide-8, Acetyl Octapeptide-3, Copper Tripeptide-1, Palmitoyl Pentapeptide-4, Palmitoyl Tetrapeptide-7, Palmitoyl Tripeptide-1, Tripeptide-1, Tripeptide-2, and Tripeptide-3. This multi-peptide system stimulates collagen synthesis, improves skin elasticity, and helps restore the structural integrity around pores — so they look tighter and the skin appears firmer over time. Hyaluronic Acid and Panthenol maintain hydration throughout.

The texture is watery-light and absorbs without any residue or stickiness.

This ampoule is a consistent favourite at Sul Skin for customers dealing with oily skin, visible pores, or that congested, rough texture around the nose and chin.
