Centella Unscented Recovery Cream
5 months into adapalene, my acne-prone skin has become manageable with a few occasional bumps here and there (yay!) but post-acne skin leaves new issues: scars. Currently, I have brown/dark spots or PIH and red spots or PIE. I also experience dryness in some areas and my cheek area has become more sensitive.
I was excited to try this because of its well-acclaimed ingredients that target hyperpigmentation and irritated skin.
Usage: In the PM after serum and adapalene.
Pros:
- Unscented! Reducing the risks of irritation from essential oils and fragrance
- Cream type formula but absorbs like a gel, very “soft” and “velvety” feeling
- Lightweight, may be best for oily skin
- Skin feels a bit hydrated
- Gentle enough for damaged skin barriers
Verdict: I noticed less bumps on my face the whole time I’ve used this and my skin has become less oily. The redness has lessened and some scars definitely faded. I tried this along with the unscented serum and after 2 weeks of using both, I’m thinking of keeping only the serum. Overall, I loved how Purito formulated such products with a whole bunch of powerful ingredients. However, I would like a more moisturizing cream and my current moisturizer is doing its job very well for me to switch to this one.
- For the first few nights, I felt stinging on the sensitive areas of my face (cheek areas)
- I don’t think it’s moisturizing enough, it couldn’t soothe my dry areas
- I wake up looking very oily in the morning
