Key ingredients

1. Niacinamide — 10%
Niacinamide, also known as vitamin B3, is the star ingredient of the ampoule. It is commonly used in skincare to improve the appearance of pores, support a more even-looking skin tone, and enhance overall radiance. SKIN1004 specifically positions the 10% concentration around pore refinement and tone care. SSKIN1004

2. Madagascar Centella Asiatica Extract
Centella Asiatica is a signature SKIN1004 ingredient. It is known for its soothing properties and is used to help skin feel calmer and more balanced. SSKIN1004

3. Tranexamic Acid
Tranexamic acid is included to support brightening, skin-tone-evening, and texture care. In this formula, it complements niacinamide and the vitamin C derivative. SSKIN1004

4. Ascorbyl Glucoside
This is a stabilized vitamin C derivative used for brightening and helping improve the appearance of uneven skin tone and texture. SSKIN1004

5. Panthenol (Provitamin B5)
Panthenol helps provide moisture and contributes to a soft, comfortable skin feel.

6. Hydrolyzed Sponge / Spicules
One of the more distinctive aspects of this product is its micro-sized spicule system. SKIN1004 describes these natural, microneedle-like structures as creating tiny pathways on the skin surface to help active ingredients work more effectively. The brand reports a 132.8% higher absorption rate compared with its spicule-free control group in its cited testing. SSKIN1004

What does the "Boosting Shot" system mean?

The product isn't simply a conventional niacinamide serum. Its Boosting Shot concept incorporates micro-sized spicules designed to enhance delivery of the formula to the skin surface.

According to SKIN1004, the system works in three stages:

1. Micro-sized spicules create pathways on the skin surface.

2. These pathways support delivery of the active ingredients.

3. The formula targets concerns such as visible pores, uneven tone, radiance, and texture. SSKIN1004

Because of the spicules, you may experience a mild tingling or prickling sensation when applying the product. SKIN1004 states that temporary redness can also occur and generally settles within around 1–2 hours as the skin adjusts. SSKIN1004

Skin types

SKIN1004 lists the product as suitable particularly for:

• Oily skin

• Combination skin

• Normal skin

• Dull-looking skin

• Uneven-textured skin

The product is especially oriented toward people looking for pore refinement, brighter-looking skin, and improved-looking texture. SSKIN1004

Texture and finish

The ampoule has a lightweight, hydrating texture rather than a heavy or oily serum consistency. It is designed to spread easily and leave the skin feeling moist and refreshed without a sticky finish. SSKIN1004

How to use

Because of the spicule technology, SKIN1004 recommends gradually introducing the product rather than immediately using it every day.

During the first 1–2 weeks:

• Use 2–3 times per week.

• Start with a small amount on the area of concern.

• Allow your skin to adapt to the spicule sensation.

After your skin has adapted:

• Apply after cleansing and, if desired, after toner.

• Gently massage an appropriate amount over the face.

• Follow with a moisturizer.

• Frequency can gradually be increased to daily use or every other evening depending on your skin's tolerance. SSKIN1004

SKIN1004 also recommends patch testing before first use and avoiding application to irritated or damaged skin and the eye/lip areas. Sunscreen should be used as the final step of a morning routine. SSKIN1004

What makes this product different?

The main distinction is that it combines a relatively high 10% niacinamide concentration with Centella Asiatica and spicules rather than functioning like a conventional watery niacinamide serum. The overall concept is aimed at people who want to address several concerns at once—particularly visible pores, dullness, uneven tone, and rough-looking texture—while still having a relatively lightweight ampoule. SSKIN1004

In simple terms: this is a brightening + pore-refining + texture-smoothing ampoule with 10% niacinamide, supported by Centella, tranexamic acid, vitamin C derivative, and a spicule-based boosting system. It is more targeted and active than SKIN1004's basic Centella Ampoule, which is primarily positioned as a soothing and hydrating product. SSKIN1004+1
