Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testIndulge in soothing skincare with the Centella Calming Gel Cream. Formulated with Centella Asiatica Leaf Water and Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Water, this gel cream provides a refreshing and calming sensation to the skin. Infused with beneficial ingredients like Niacinamide and Sodium Hyaluronate, it helps to improve skin tone and boost hydration levels. Experience the power of Centella Asiatica Extract and other natural extracts that work together to nourish and revitalize your skin, leaving it feeling balanced and refreshed. Embrace a calmer and more radiant complexion with the Centella Calming Gel Cream.
Centella Calming Gel Cream is a lightweight moisturizer from IUNIK. The formula is built mainly around soothing and hydration. The ingredient list runs to 31 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. It contains both silicones and oils, a combination that usually finishes smooth and slightly satin and sits well under makeup. Hydration is handled by Butylene Glycol, Sodium Hyaluronate and Ethylhexylglycerin, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Soothing: High. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Centella Asiatica Leaf Water, Allantoin, Centella Asiatica Extract and Niacinamide.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Butylene Glycol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Ethylhexylglycerin and Methyl Trimethicone.
Brightening: Moderate. Ingredients that act on uneven tone and post-inflammatory marks, and here that comes from Niacinamide, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract.
On richness alone it suits Balanced, Combination (oily) and Oily skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on antioxidant protection, cell renewal and firmness signalling. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is fragrance-free, essential-oil-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, microplastic-free and sulfate-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after serums. Seal in your serums with it; in the morning, sunscreen still goes on top.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
