What is SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Tea-Trica Purifying Toner?
SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Tea-Trica Purifying Toner is a clarifying toner for oily, congested and breakout-prone skin. It blends tea tree, Madagascar centella and a low dose of salicylic acid (BHA) in a water-light formula, so it helps clear pores and calm angry spots without leaving skin stripped.
The name "Tea-Trica" comes from that pairing: tea tree for purifying and centella (cica) for soothing. It sinks in in seconds with no stickiness, which makes it pleasant in hot, humid weather. The large 210ml bottle suits generous daily use, including layering.
How is it different from the regular SKIN1004 toning toner?
The Madagascar Centella Toning Toner focuses on gentle, everyday exfoliation and hydration. Tea-Trica is the purifying version, built for skin that breaks out, with tea tree water and oil plus salicylic acid for pores.
SKIN1004 Tea-Trica Purifying Toner benefits: what it does for your skin
Helps keep pores clear
Salicylic acid is oil-soluble, so it can work inside pores to loosen the mix of sebum and dead cells that leads to blackheads and breakouts.
Purifies oily, breakout-prone skin
Tea tree leaf water and tea tree oil are well known in acne care for their purifying properties, helping skin feel cleaner and less congested.
Calms redness
Centella asiatica soothes the redness and tenderness that come with breakouts, so the toner does not feel harsh on irritated areas.
Smooths rough texture
With regular use, gentle BHA exfoliation helps refine the bumpy texture that often lingers after repeated breakouts.

Is SKIN1004 Tea-Trica Purifying Toner right for your skin?
Oily and acne-prone skin
This is who it was made for. If you deal with regular breakouts, clogged pores or shine, it can be the clarifying step your routine is missing.
Combination skin
Focus it on the T-zone and areas that break out, and use a hydrating toner on drier cheeks. This zone approach gives each area what it needs without over-drying.
Dry skin
Dry skin usually does not need a purifying toner daily. Use it only on breakout areas or a few times a week, and follow with a rich moisturiser.
Is it good for sensitive skin?
Centella helps keep it gentle, but tea tree oil and lavender can irritate very sensitive skin. Patch-test behind the ear or along the jaw for two or three days before using it all over.
How to use SKIN1004 Tea-Trica Purifying Toner (morning and night)
- Cleanse with a gentle foam such as the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam.
- Shake a few drops onto your fingertips or a cotton pad.
- Pat over the face, or swipe the pad gently outward, avoiding the eye area.
- Let it absorb, then follow with serum and moisturiser.
Morning
A morning layer helps control shine through the day. Follow with a light moisturiser and sunscreen; the SKIN1004 Tone Brightening Tone-Up Sunscreen keeps the routine in the same family.
Night
If you wear makeup or sunscreen, double cleanse first with the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil. Then use the toner, the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule to calm, and a moisturiser.
Can I use SKIN1004 Tea-Trica toner every day?
Yes. The salicylic acid level in a daily toner is low, so most oily and acne-prone skin can use it once or twice a day. Start once daily for the first week, then increase if your skin is comfortable.
Acne-prone skin in Pakistan's climate
Summer and monsoon
Heat, humidity and sweat are a perfect storm for clogged pores. Use the toner morning and night, keep moisturisers light, and cleanse after workouts or long commutes. Change pillowcases often and wipe your phone screen, both of which carry oil to the cheeks.
Winter
Even oily skin gets drier in winter. If you notice tightness or flaking, cut back to once a day and add a hydrating layer such as the COSRX Advanced Snail 96 Mucin Power Essence.
Pollution and city life
In cities like Lahore and Karachi, dust and smog build up on skin through the day. A thorough evening cleanse followed by a purifying toner helps keep pores clearer.
Building an acne routine around it
Don't overload on acids
Because this toner already contains salicylic acid, avoid stacking it with other strong exfoliants such as the The Ordinary Glycolic Acid 7% Exfoliating Toner in the same routine. Alternate nights if you want to use both.
Pair with soothing hydration
Acne-prone skin still needs moisture. A light, calming layer like the mixsoon Bean Essence or a centella ampoule keeps the barrier healthy, which actually helps reduce breakouts.
Hands off
Picking and squeezing spots causes the dark marks that linger for months. Let the toner and your treatment products do the work. If a spot is very painful, deep or keeps coming back in the same place, see a dermatologist; cystic acne usually needs prescription treatment rather than a stronger toner.
SKIN1004 Tea-Trica Purifying Toner results: how long until you see a difference?
Skin feels fresher and less oily from the first few uses. Fewer clogged pores and calmer breakouts typically show after three to four weeks of consistent use. Texture improvements take longer, often six to eight weeks.
Does it have side effects?
Some people feel mild tingling at first. Stop if you notice burning, persistent redness or peeling, which can mean your skin is reacting to the tea tree oil or is being over-exfoliated.

Original vs fake SKIN1004 Tea-Trica Purifying Toner: how to check
Before using a new bottle, take a moment to inspect it. The real toner arrives with an unbroken seal, evenly printed SKIN1004 branding and a batch and expiry code that matches the outer box. The liquid should be clear and watery with a fresh, herbal scent from the tea tree. Smudged labels, a cloudy or thick liquid, or no seal at all are reasons to be cautious.
