Dear diary,
It happened again. I saw “brightening” and “capsule” in one sentence and thought, this is it. The glow, the even tone, the glass skin… it’s all coming. Right?
Wrong. So wrong.
Let’s start with the texture. The little white beads are cute—until you actually try to get them to melt evenly on your face. It’s like rubbing in tiny ghosts that refuse to disappear. And then it just kinda sits there. Not sticky, not dewy, just… awkward. Like a guest who doesn’t know when to leave.
Did I brighten? Maybe 0.01 shades if I squint in direct sunlight.
Did my skin feel healthier? Sure. Like, hydrated. But that’s the bare minimum, babe.
I really wanted to love this. I mean, SKIN1004’s branding? Gorgeous. And the Centella lineup usually treats my moody skin pretty well. But this one? It’s giving me “meh.” And I don’t do “meh.”
Sincerely,
Disgust
who still hasn’t found her tone-up soulmate.
Oh by the way this was the review of Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Tone Brightening Capsule Ampoule.
