MeaningInMakeup review for Madagascar Centella Soothing Cream

The texture. The first time I used this I definitely went in with too much product. When I tried it again and cut way back on how much I was applying, it still felt like I applied too much. You probably only need one pea sized amount of this for your entire face (which is a small amount compared to some other creams on the market). I went in with double that amount on my first use because I have dry leaning skin, and often need more moisturizer than the average person. It ended up being way too much product, even when I applied some on my neck and elbows. Going in with just a pea sized amount was better, but still left my skin feeling tacky and sticky, which I was not a fan of. When applying this to other areas besides my face, this still left a sticky residue on my skin which I am not a fan of. I’m not a fan of skincare products that feel sticky to me, which is why I had to give this product a three out of five stars. The texture just wasn’t to my liking. I also felt like this wasn’t as hydrating for my dry leaning skin as some other creams that I’ve tried out recently. It’s meant to offer a cooling sensation upon application, and I didn’t really feel that. Outside of the cool temperature of the cream as you’re applying it, the cooling sensation didn’t last in my opinion. I’ve tried other cooling creams and felt the creams cool down my skin instantly, but I didn’t experience that with this cream. It does feature peppermint extract which can cause cooling, but it didn’t smell of peppermint in my opinion.
