I’ve been seeing this ampoule all over skincare forums, with people calling it a holy grail for sensitive skin. It’s literally just centella asiatica extract—no fancy actives, no gimmicks. But does that actually make it effective?
What It Claims to Do
✔ Soothe irritation and redness
✔ Strengthen the skin barrier
✔ Hydrate without heaviness
Sounds great, but does it deliver?

My Experience
🧴 Texture & Absorption:
• Watery, almost like a toner.
• Sinks in immediately—no stickiness, no residue.
• Feels refreshing, but not overly hydrating.
🌿 Effects on My Skin:
• Instant calming effect – Perfect for when my skin feels irritated or over-exfoliated.
• Lightweight hydration – Enough for oily/combo skin, but dry skin types will need more.
• Redness reduction – Over time, my skin tone looked more even and less reactive.
🔄 How I Used It:
• Morning & night after cleansing, before heavier serums.
• Mixed with other serums when my skin needed extra soothing.
• As a calming step after using actives like retinol or exfoliants.

✅ Minimalists – If you want a simple, effective ampoule, this is it.
Who Might Skip It?

Final Verdict: It’s simple, calming, and reliable. Not a miracle product, but a solid staple for keeping skin happy. Will I repurchase? Yes, especially for irritation-prone days
