How it hides redness and what centella does

This cream does two jobs at once: it hides redness right now, and it calms it gradually.

The instant change comes from green pigment. It contains green colorants such as chromium oxide green, and green sits opposite red on the color wheel, so it visually tones down red areas. The color is covering the redness; no ingredient has changed your skin yet.

Centella handles the calming. Centella leaf water comes right after water, and asiaticoside, an active compound from centella, is added separately. Both are used to soothe irritated skin, so you can expect redness to settle little by little. Panthenol and glycerin support hydration and the barrier, and niacinamide and adenosine are in it too.

Silicones, oils and beeswax form the base so the color spreads evenly and stays put. That is why this soothing cream feels close to a makeup primer.

Who it suits

It suits skin with redness on the cheeks or around the nose that you have been covering with concealer or foundation. It merges calming and color correction into one step, which shortens your morning routine.

Because it is tinted, it can look grayish on some skin tones. If you do not need color correction, the untinted cream from the same line fits better.

What to watch

The instant fade and centella's calming work on different clocks. Expect the cover-up and the gradual calming separately and you will not be disappointed.

It has no fragrance, parabens or mineral oil, and no labeled allergens. There is a little alcohol and some pigment, so try it on a small area if your skin is sensitive right now. The pigment sits on the surface and washes off, which is not a problem for most skin.

Frequently asked questions

Why does redness fade as soon as I apply it?

Green pigment visually cancels out red. Centella's calming effect is slower than that.

Can I use it before makeup?

Its base grips the skin, so it works well as a makeup primer. It already color-corrects, so you can skip a color primer.

Does it contain alcohol?

A little. If alcohol bothers your skin, test it on a small area first.

Is it a functional product?

It contains niacinamide, on Korea's whitening list, and adenosine, on the anti-wrinkle list. Check the package for the functional claim.

Can sensitive skin use it?

No fragrance and a calming focus keep it gentle, but it has pigment and alcohol, so patch test when your skin is reactive.
