Where it fits in your routine
ROUTINEUse after cleansing and toning as a hydration prep step, or spritz anytime throughout the day over makeup for a moisture refresh. Can also be used as a mid-routine mist between layers to boost absorption.
How to use
HOW TO USEShake Gently
Give the bottle a gentle shake before use to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Hold at Distance
Hold the bottle 20–30 cm (about 8–12 inches) away from your face with your eyes closed.
Spritz 2–3 Times
Press the nozzle 2–3 times in a sweeping motion across your face for full coverage. The ultra-fine mist will disperse evenly.
Pat Gently
Gently pat the mist into your skin with your fingertips until fully absorbed. Follow with serum and moisturizer, or leave as is for a midday refresh.
Who is it for?
WHOPerfect for you if:
- You have dehydrated or dry skin that needs a moisture boost throughout the day
- You want a lightweight, non-greasy hydrating mist under or over makeup
- You have sensitive or irritated skin that benefits from centella and green tea
- You work in air-conditioned or heated environments that dry out your skin
- You want a cooling refresher during hot weather or after workouts
- You are pregnant or breastfeeding and need a safe hydrating product
- You want to layer hydration without heavy, sticky products
Consider alternatives if:
- You are prone to fungal acne (contains Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate)
- You need intensive long-lasting moisture (a mist alone may not be enough for very dry skin)
- You prefer a completely matte finish with zero dewiness
- You want a mist with active treatment ingredients like niacinamide or vitamin C
- You are looking for a standalone moisturizer replacement
Skin type compatibility
SKIN TYPESUltra-lightweight watery formula absorbs instantly without adding shine or greasiness. Provides hydration without disrupting oil balance.
Provides a welcome burst of hydration, but dry skin types will likely need a richer moisturizer on top to seal in the moisture. Best used as a hydration booster layer.
Balances beautifully across different face zones. Hydrates dry patches without overloading oilier areas. Ideal for multi-zone skin needs.
Fragrance-free, alcohol-free formula with centella and green tea actively soothes irritation. One of the gentlest hydrating mists available. Patch test recommended for very reactive skin.
Very low comedogenic rating (1/5) and non-greasy formula makes it safe for most acne-prone skin. However, those with fungal acne should be cautious due to Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate.

Budget-friendly alternatives (dupes)
DUPES
Similar ceramide + hyaluronic acid formula in a fine mist format. Features a five-ceramide complex instead of single Ceramide NP. Lacks green tea water base and centella, but offers comparable barrier support and hydration.
Ceramide-focused barrier mist with a richer, cream-like texture. More moisturizing but heavier than the SKIN1004 cloud mist. Hypoallergenic and fragrance-free. Better for very dry skin but less suitable for oily types.
Also features green tea as a key ingredient with hyaluronic acid for hydration. Lighter formula without centella or ceramides. Good basic hydrating mist but lacks the multi-active approach of the SKIN1004.

Frequently asked questions
FAQYes. This mist does not contain retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, chemical sunscreen filters, or any other ingredients commonly flagged during pregnancy. All 33 ingredients are considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. However, always consult your OB-GYN or dermatologist before introducing any new skincare product during pregnancy.
No, this product is not considered fungal acne safe. It contains Galactomyces Ferment Filtrate, a yeast-derived ferment that may potentially exacerbate malassezia folliculitis in susceptible individuals. While the concentration is low (listed near the end of the ingredient list), those with diagnosed fungal acne or a known sensitivity to ferments should use caution or consider an alternative mist without fermented ingredients.
Yes, absolutely. This mist contains no actives that would conflict with retinol, vitamin C, AHAs, or BHAs. In fact, its soothing centella and hydrating hyaluronic acid make it an excellent companion to help calm and hydrate skin that may be sensitized from these strong actives. You can spritz it before or after applying your actives for added comfort and hydration.
This mist works well for virtually all skin types — oily, dry, combination, sensitive, and normal. Its lightweight, watery formula is especially well-suited for oily, combination, and sensitive skin. Dry skin types will love it as a hydration booster but should follow with a richer moisturizer. Sensitive skin benefits greatly from the centella and green tea calming properties.
Instant hydration and cooling are felt immediately upon application. Within 1–2 weeks of consistent daily use, you should notice softer, smoother skin texture and reduced irritation. Visible barrier strengthening, a healthier glow, and subtle brightening typically become apparent after 4–8 weeks of regular use.
Use it after cleansing and toning as a hydration prep step (Step 3) before your serum and moisturizer. You can also use it anytime throughout the day as a refresher — over makeup, between skincare layers, after workouts, or whenever your skin feels dry. It is versatile enough to fit anywhere in your routine.
This mist has a very low comedogenic rating of 1 out of 5. The predominantly water-based formula uses lightweight humectants and emulsifiers that are unlikely to clog pores. It is suitable for acne-prone skin. However, individual reactions can vary, so patch testing is always recommended if you have highly reactive or clog-prone skin.
The Period After Opening (PAO) is 12 months. Once opened, use within one year for optimal freshness and efficacy. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. If the product changes in color, texture, or smell, discontinue use.
Verdict: The SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Cloudy Mist is a standout K-beauty hydrating mist that delivers on its promises. The ultra-fine spray nozzle is genuinely one of the best in its class, creating a true cloud-like experience. With a strong foundation of 40% green tea water, triple hyaluronic acid, Centella Asiatica, and ceramide NP, it offers instant hydration, soothing, and barrier support in one convenient spray. It earns high marks for its clean formulation, pregnancy safety, and versatility. The only notable downsides are its unsuitability for fungal acne-prone skin (due to Galactomyces) and the fact that very dry skin types will need a heavier moisturizer on top. For everyone else, this is an excellent daily hydrating companion at a fair price point.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.

EU Allergen-Free
Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.

Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
