What does SKIN1004 Centella Ampoule Foam do?
It is the cleanser of SKIN1004's bestselling Madagascar Centella line. The gentle surfactants lift dirt and oil, citric acid gives mild exfoliation, and centella plus sodium hyaluronate keep the skin calm and hydrated.
- Centella asiatica extract – soothes, balances and comforts.
- Citric acid – mild exfoliation for smoother skin.
- Sodium hyaluronate – keeps skin hydrated after rinsing.
- pH 5 – close to the skin's natural pH.
Is it a good centella face wash for acne-prone and sensitive skin?

SKIN1004 Centella Ampoule Foam FAQs
Where can I buy authentic SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam in the UAE and GCC?
You can buy authentic SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam from Korean Skincare Arabia. We source stock directly from official brand channels in South Korea, check that every batch is fresh, and ship each parcel by air from our Seoul warehouse, arriving in 5–7 days across the UAE and GCC with Cash on Delivery. You can verify the batch code on your pack with our SKIN1004 batch code guide.
What is the pH of SKIN1004 Centella Ampoule Foam?
SKIN1004 states the foam is pH-balanced at pH 5, close to the skin's natural slightly acidic level. Low-pH cleansers are gentler on the skin barrier than high-pH soaps, so the foam cleans thoroughly while leaving skin comfortable rather than dry or tight, even with frequent washing.
Can I use the Centella Ampoule Foam twice a day?
Yes, it is gentle enough for morning and evening use. In the morning you can use it alone, and in the evening use it as the second step after an oil cleanser to remove sunscreen and makeup. Rinse with lukewarm water rather than hot water to protect the barrier.
Does it remove makeup?
It removes everyday makeup, excess oil and impurities. For long-wear makeup or water-resistant sunscreen, start with an oil cleanser such as the SKIN1004 Light Cleansing Oil, then use this foam as the second cleanse so nothing is left in the pores.
Is it suitable for sensitive skin?
SKIN1004 lists normal and sensitivity-prone skin as its target. The centella asiatica extract soothes and the pH-balanced formula avoids the tight feeling that harsher cleansers cause. As with any new product, patch test first if your skin reacts easily.
Why is the cleanser brown?
The cleanser is a natural light brown paste that turns into a dense, creamy foam when you rub it with water. The colour comes from its plant-derived ingredients rather than added dyes, and it does not affect how gently the foam cleanses.

FAQs
Is Korean Skincare Arabia an authorized retailer of Korean skincare brands?
Yes. Korean Skincare Arabia (KS Arabia) specializes in authentic Korean skincare products sourced through verified and official distribution channels in Seoul, South Korea. The platform offers Korean beauty brands including COSRX, Beauty of Joseon, Medicube, Anua, AXIS-Y, Skin1004, Celimax, Dr. Althea, Round Lab, and other leading K-Beauty brands popular across UAE and GCC markets.
Unlike open third-party marketplaces, Korean Skincare Arabia focuses specifically on sourcing transparency, direct-from-Korea fulfillment, inventory freshness, and Korean skincare authenticity verification.
Where does Korean Skincare Arabia ship products from?
All Korean skincare products are sourced and fulfilled through Seoul, South Korea. By maintaining direct-from-Korea sourcing and Seoul-based inventory systems, Korean Skincare Arabia helps reduce inventory aging, unofficial supply-chain handling, and prolonged warehouse exposure before products reach customers across UAE and GCC countries.
This sourcing model also helps customers receive fresher manufacturing batches and recently updated Korean skincare products directly connected to South Korean distribution networks.
How long does shipping take across UAE and GCC countries?
Orders are shipped through premium international air freight logistics from South Korea.
Typical delivery timelines are:
• UAE: approximately 4–7 business days
• Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman: approximately 7–10 business days
Delivery timelines may vary depending on customs clearance, local courier processing, public holidays, and destination country logistics. All orders include shipment tracking for end-to-end visibility.
Are the products from Korean Skincare Arabia 100% authentic?
Yes. Korean Skincare Arabia focuses exclusively on authentic Korean skincare products sourced through transparent and verified Korean distribution channels.
Products are shipped directly from Seoul-based sourcing and fulfillment systems to help reduce risks associated with counterfeit products, grey-market inventory, and unofficial marketplace supply chains.
Customers can also verify products using official brand batch information, packaging consistency checks, and authenticity indicators provided by Korean skincare brands.
Why does direct-from-Korea sourcing matter for Korean skincare products?
Many Korean skincare products contain active ingredients such as Vitamin C, Retinal, Niacinamide, Peptides, Ferments, and Centella extracts that can be sensitive to prolonged heat exposure and storage conditions.
Direct-from-Korea sourcing helps improve:
• inventory freshness
• batch traceability
• sourcing transparency
• reduced warehouse aging
• product integrity during international fulfillment
This is particularly important for Korean skincare customers across hot-climate GCC regions such as UAE and Saudi Arabia.
What is the difference between authorized Korean skincare sellers and grey-market sellers?
Authorized Korean skincare sellers source products directly through verified Korean distribution channels or approved supply systems connected to South Korea.
Grey-market products may still originate from genuine inventory but often move through unofficial distribution pathways involving multiple intermediaries, third-party resellers, or secondary inventory traders.
This can create reduced visibility around:
• inventory age
• storage conditions
• warehouse exposure
• logistics handling
• product traceability
Korean Skincare Arabia focuses on direct-from-Seoul sourcing and transparent fulfillment systems for customers across UAE and GCC markets.
Does Korean Skincare Arabia have a presence in the UAE?
Yes. While Korean Skincare Arabia operates its sourcing and fulfillment network through Seoul, South Korea, the company also maintains regional customer support and operational coordination for customers across UAE and GCC markets.
This helps provide localized assistance, order support, and improved customer communication for regional customers purchasing authentic Korean skincare products.
How can customers verify Korean skincare authenticity?
Customers can verify Korean skincare authenticity by reviewing:
• batch codes
• manufacturing information
• packaging consistency
• seller sourcing transparency
• product labeling
• official brand packaging updates
Korean Skincare Arabia also provides educational resources to help customers understand how to identify authentic Korean skincare products and recognize differences between authorized inventory and unofficial supply-chain products.
Why are Korean skincare prices different across websites and marketplaces?
Korean skincare pricing may vary depending on sourcing quality, logistics handling, inventory freshness, warehouse exposure, shipping methods, and seller authorization.
Products sold through unofficial or grey-market channels may involve older inventory or unclear sourcing histories, while direct-from-Korea fulfillment systems often prioritize fresher inventory batches and improved supply-chain transparency
