Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam — Reddit Reviews
by Skin1004
Updated November 10, 2026
Centella foaming cleanser leaves skin clean without squeaky tightness; stronger than expected.
What the community says
A centella-based foaming cleanser with a silky, marshmallowy lather for morning washing or the second step after cleansing oil. It suits combination and resilient oily skin, but tretinoin users or compromised barriers may find it drying and harsh.

What the science says
Centella, also called cica, has been studied for redness and irritation in only two studies, so its evidence is not proven yet 1. The one study that tested it directly found it reduced redness more than a placebo after laser treatment 1. That same study also reported improved crusting and overall skin appearance 1.
