Centella-rich cream calms redness and irritation with a cooling, lightweight feel.

A centella-heavy cream revered in K-beauty for soothing visibly irritated and sensitive skin. It’s especially popular for combination with tretinoin to reduce redness and peeling. The texture can feel thick but absorbs with a cooling finish and isn’t overly heavy.
