Soothing Centella Gel Moisturiser

So I’m a 38 year old male and over the past couple of years my skin has been prone to getting clogged with excess sebum and breakouts. I recently decided to change my routine to try and break the cycle of stress/acne management. I was looking for a super gentle moisturiser that would calm my skin down and reduce oil production - was previously using (very small amounts) natural oils such as jojoba and tallow to hydrate and was a bit dubious to use a cosmetic product but thought I’d give it a try. This moisturiser has met my expectations in a couple of ways - it doesn’t trigger my sensitive skin, it’s lightweight and calming, doesn’t leave my skin greasy and doesn’t promote more oil throughout the day/night. I have only used it for a few days but I noticed an immediate improvement - less oil, skin plumper and more hydrated, less redness and hyperpigmentation from previous acne is a lot calmer and less visible. I noticed that my skin appeared drier after the first couple of uses and this seemed to be my skin barrier turning over and shedding dead flakes, once I did a gentle exfoliation it was fine. I’m going to persevere with this product and see if it holds up. I can imagine it being good in warmer weather also as it’s not greasy at all. Certainly good value. Clearly a high quality product and does what it claims to. Interested to see the effect over time. Paired this with Avene Tolerance gentle cleanser which seems to be a nice gentle product that feels clean and non reactive on my skin. Also avoiding getting hot water on my face in the shower, so with these three things combined I hope to see a positive change over time! Hope this review helps anyone out there who is experiencing problematic skin and is looking for suitable treatments.

Excellent product really helps my skin as i gave rosacea which often breaks out in the summer heat i also have very dry flaky skin when i dont use this product drys quickly no irritation not greasy either

I bought this moisturizer on the 1st of August, and it lasted me until this morning, so nearly three months with morning and night use, one pump each time. Overall I liked how well it moisturized my skin. It feels lightweight and is soothing with great barrier support ingredients. Plus, it lasted a long time and is reasonably priced. :) On the downside, it leaves a sticky film residue that I couldn't stand. I tried applying it on both dry and damp skin. While it did soak in eventually on damp skin, it still left a slight stickiness behind. This moisturizer might work well for many people, but because of the stickiness, I personally won't be repurchasing it.

I have problem skin unfortunately and it has taken a long time to sort out all the issues. I used Avene Hydra 10 for about a year and whilst I enjoyed using it; it was sometimes difficult to find stock. I use Dermatica for their personalised skincare. Currently I am prescribed Adapalene. I purchased this moisturiser to see how my skin reacted. No ill effects. Lightweight get provides enough hydration to keep my skin feeling soft and supple. Adapalene can be drying but this moisturiser targets any dryness. It is also cheaper and more product in the tube than Avene so therefore I will continue to repurchase.

This gel moisturiser has genuinely made a difference in my skin. Since adding it to my routine, I’ve noticed a real reduction in breakouts — it’s become a staple I reach for every day. The centella ingredients feel calming on the skin, and it doesn’t leave any heaviness or residue. Highly recommend it to anyone dealing with acne-prone skin!

It is an amazing cream, perfect for my acne prone skin.

I’ve been using this for a few weeks now and it has a nice, lightweight texture and feels calming on my skin. I think it would be a great match for oily or blemish-prone skin types since it absorbs quickly and doesn’t feel greasy. For me though, it just isn’t moisturising enough. My skin still feels like it needs an extra layer afterwards, especially in the evenings but even during the day. While I can absolutely see the appeal for other skin types, it doesn’t meet my own skin needs, so I won’t be repurchasing - not the fault of the product just not suited to me!

Has seriously helped to clear my skin. Will buy for life.

Sehr angenehme Creme, die mich nicht ausbrechen lässt. Jedoch war sie mir etwas zu wenig feuchtigkeits spenden im Winter obwohl ich eine eher fettige Haut habe

Heals up bed sores. Great

Alles gut, aber zu teuer

Worked great! Especially if you have dermatitis!

I used to love this but this time around I ordered it because it was reliable (as in won't break me out) but I prefer a dewy finish and this made my skin look matte which emphasizes my texture, I also felt like it wasn't as moisturizing as I remember because I was using it for months at a time. Perhaps my skin is currently in need of more moisture. But as someone who breaks out from ANYTHING, I recommend this to anyone that needs a reliable moisturizer who has balanced skin. Oily or not.
