What the gurus are saying

Gurus love the lightweight gel texture and how quickly it absorbs despite being nourishing, noting a little goes a long way. The main point of contention is the peppermint extract, which some feel is unnecessary and detracts from what could otherwise be a staple product. It's recommended especially for colder months when skin needs barrier support.

"I first tried this a couple years ago in a set of minis and I used them all up and I really liked it, so then I picked this one up and I can already tell it's a little opaque, it's almost gone, so I've really enjoyed this stuff. They say it's enriched with 72% Centella asiatica extract sourced from Madagascar. This moisturizer soothes skin irritation while boosting skin's hydration levels and contains four types of plant-based ceramides to fortify the skin barrier. The form has a gel-like texture, glides on, and offers a cooling sensation to sensitive skin. I like the packaging, it's a squeeze tube bottle that's slightly opaque so you can tell when you're almost out, which is nice."

"It has a really nice gel texture to it and a little bit of it goes a long way. I love gel formulas, and even though gel texture formulas are typically more geared towards oily skin types, my dry skin just loves them. It absorbs pretty quickly and sets to kind of a radiant finish once it soaks in. It's not super shiny and doesn't feel greasy, but it is a little bit of a shiny radiant finish, so some people might not like that, but for me I don't mind it as long as it's not feeling greasy. You can use this morning and evening after cleansing, toning, and serums. It tends to work well under sunscreen and makeup and also works well over most serums, with the exception of certain serums that are oily or greasy feeling, where this ends up looking and feeling kind of greasy. Otherwise it's pretty easy to use and works well under products without any peeling."

But otherwise it's pretty easy to use. I like the texture of it, and maybe for drier skin types they're looking for more of a glowy finish, it might be ideal for them. The star of the show with this one is centella asiatica. It's a wonderful ingredient. It's great for soothing, it's great for wound healing, it's great for hydrating, and it's a great antioxidant ingredient."

"I start with the mini size and liked it enough to purchase this size. I see it as a pretty versatile product. It adds some moisture to skin as well as some calming ingredients. Peppermint is my biggest issue with this. Overall it's a nice product. I'd rate it an eight out of ten. My biggest issue again is that peppermint extract, they should have left it out. It could have been a Holy Grail product without it."

"It's designed to provide really good hydration alongside those calming effects that we know from Centella asiatica, but we also have ceramides in here to help strengthen the skin barrier whilst the centella heals, alongside allantoin as well to help the skin repair itself and provide relief to irritated and sensitized skin. This is one that's great for the colder months if you're looking for a slightly thicker ceramide repairing barrier healing supporting cream that also targets irritated skin. This is a really nice one to go for."
