by Purito
Updated August 19, 2026
Centella-calming gel cream favored for light hydration and soothing; too light for dry.

A lightweight gel cream with centella that calms and lightly hydrates sensitive skin. Preferred by oily and combination skin types, especially under sunscreen, but may not provide enough moisture for very dry or irritated skin. Some users find it leaves a sticky feel before fully absorbing.
