TanyaKbeauty review for Cicathenol Repair Cream

Many skin problems are associated with violations of the hydro-lipid barrier of the skin, this is affected by the weather, improper care, aggressive exfoliation, the use of strong actives. Today about repair cream Dr.Chromcell Cicathenol based on centella and panthenol. Key Ingredients: centella asiatica extract (70%), panthenol(5%), betaine, sodium pca, allantoin, tocopheryl acetate, hamamelis water, camella sinensis leaf extract, acetyl hexapeptide-8 I can’t say that I’m impressed with the cream, it didn’t suit me, so I’ll start right away with the cons: - ingredient list contains too many film-formers - high cost for such inci - presence of fragrance - not enought hydration - felt on the skin - clogs pores❕ Why did this happen → There are different types of silicones in all creams, but their abundance in dr.chromcell led to the fact that it clogs my pores. Silicones create a film on the surface of the skin, forming a barrier - this is the meaning of a barrier cream - but their abundance interferes with the normal functioning of the pores: they clog under a thick film. If your skin is dry, without visible pores and acne, then there will be probably nothing to worry about, but if your skin is similar to mine, then the cream will not work. Pros: - soothes the skin well - really repair the skin barrier - great after aha, bha and retinoids It would be better to leave volatile light silicones and add, for example, non-essential oils (broccoli, crambe, shea - they "embed" well into the skin, are not allergenic, even suitable for a acne prone type), or make the cream multilamellar (MLE technology) - then it would justify the cost. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- I received this product for free from Picky and Dr.Chromcell exchange for my honest review.
