SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Tone Brightening Dark Spot Ampoule Pad is a high-concentration ampoule-soaked toner pad designed to hydrate, gently exfoliate and visibly brighten in one simple step. Ideal for uneven skin tone, post-acne marks and dullness, these dual-texture pads help improve the look of blemishes and dark spots while keeping skin calm and comfortable.
Each pad is saturated in 130ml of brightening essence powered by Niacinamide, Pure Vitamin C and MADEWHITE™ to support a clearer, more radiant complexion. Kojic Acid, Glutathione and Ferulic Acid work together to target visible pigmentation, while Madagascar-sourced Centella Asiatica extract helps soothe and restore stressed skin.
The clever dual-sided design makes them versatile. The gauze side gently refines texture and removes built-up dead skin cells, while the smooth jelly side delivers deep hydration and can be used as a quick brightening mask on areas of concern.

Deep dive: What is MADEWHITE™
MADEWHITE™ is a trademarked brightening ingredient derived from Madecassoside, one of the key active compounds found in Centella Asiatica. Centella is already well known for calming and repairing the skin barrier, but Madecassoside also has interesting brightening and anti-inflammatory properties.
MADEWHITE™ is essentially a stabilised and refined form of Madecassoside designed to focus on tone correction and pigmentation care. Here’s what that means in practical skincare terms:
It helps reduce inflammation that can trigger pigmentation
Many dark spots, especially post-acne marks, are worsened by inflammation. By calming the skin, MADEWHITE™ helps reduce the signals that stimulate excess melanin production.
It supports a more even melanin response
Research on Madecassoside suggests it can help regulate pathways involved in melanin synthesis. While it is not a bleaching agent, it supports gradual brightening and more even tone.
It strengthens the skin barrier
A compromised barrier can make pigmentation harder to treat. Because MADEWHITE™ comes from Centella, it also supports barrier repair, making it ideal in formulas that combine strong brightening ingredients like Vitamin C and Kojic Acid.
It makes brightening formulas more tolerable
Dark spot care often includes actives that can irritate. By combining Niacinamide, Vitamin C and Kojic Acid with a Centella-derived brightening ingredient like MADEWHITE™, the formula aims to balance effectiveness with comfort.
In short, MADEWHITE™ is a Centella-derived brightening booster that helps fade the look of pigmentation while calming and supporting the skin, rather than stressing it.
