DETAILS

Centella Asiatica, the main ingredient of the product, is also known as Tiger Herb. Because wounded tigers rub their body against this grass for healing effects. It was widely used from ancient times to fix troubles and it is scientifically proven to be good for Skin Repair, Skin Soothing, Pigmentation Relief, Skin Elasticity Promotion and Atopy Prevention

HOW TO USE

After the skin absorbs the toner, i apply an ample amount of this on my forehead, cheeks, nose and chin before spreading evenly and thinly.

PROS

First, i like the scent of this. It's very mild and it has a hint of plants and citrus but definitely suit my liking. I'm very skeptical when it comes to creams because i'm very prone to milia seeds. I actually observed it and most of the time, it's caused by diet and heavy cream-based moisturizer / skincare as milia seeds also known as oilseeds are those pesky white bumps made of trapped oils in our pores. They easily appear but very hard to get rid of! And that's what i avoid! Luckily, this wasn't too heavy for my skin and didn't trigger any of it but flattened the present ones instead! When i started using this, i had some dry areas on my face. Particularly on my cheeks and as early as 3 days, i was able to see that it's slowly going away! I'm more than amazed with how it moisturizes my skin without making the other parts oily too. So it did great with balancing the oil on my face!

CONS

There were no itchiness nor stinging but the consistency was a bit greasy and it doesn't get absorbed not until up to an hour and it really has purging! At first i thought it will go away after a week, but it didn't! It even worsened! When i tried this, my skin was clear when i used this but when i started this, i had so much acne all over my face! It was damn bad! The sides of my face had pimples instead of sideburns!

VERDICT

Although there were really good things that it did to my skin but i can't afford the purging! All that i'm left are acne marks / scars and it really frustrated me because i wanted to make this product work! I asked my sister to use it and it did great on her skin. There were still purging but it only lasted for a week and it didn't worsen unlike mine. We have different skin types (mine is combination and hers is oily / acne-prone). It was really heartbreaking for me as i've read some reviews about this that it's good and effective but i think it just didn't match with my skin or my skin just doesn't want the product. I even gave it another try but the very moment that it got absorbed by my skin, it's starting again so i had to detox and rinse my skin right away. A little goes a long way and a tube can last for a few months so it's really not that pricey and i believe that it would still be a nice product for acne-prone skin. Just not for me nor my cup of tea. NEUTRAL. ⭐️⭐️
