Centella-heavy soothing serum for dehydrated, irritated skin; no-frills calm.

What the community says

A centella-and-panthenol serum that people use when skin feels hot, stripped, or dehydrated. It layers easily on wet skin and gets love from acne-prone, sensitive, and tretinoin users. The texture is gel-like, so very dry skin may still need a cream on top.
