So, I gave in to the hype.
Every Reddit thread, every skincare sub, every TikTok that starts with
“My skin barrier was wrecked, and this saved it”?
They were chanting Purito Centella Unscented Serum like it was gospel.
And guess what?
They weren’t wrong.
This stuff is like a warm hug for irritated skin.
No scent. No flare-ups. No drama.
My skin didn’t throw a tantrum like it does with… well, most things.
Texture?
Light, almost watery but still a bit gel-like.
Spreads super easily. Soaks in without a trace.
Doesn’t leave a film, doesn’t pill under sunscreen or makeup.
And most importantly — doesn’t sting on broken skin. You know what that means? It’s barrier-approved.
Did it magically make my skin perfect?
Nope.
No fireworks. No overnight glass skin.
But it kept my redness at bay and helped calm down post-acid freak-outs.
It’s not a one-stop-shop serum.
It’s more of a quiet, reliable roommate who doesn’t leave dishes in the sink.
Rating: 4.2 sleepy nods out of 5.
No drama, no thrill — but that’s kind of the point.
And sometimes, boring is exactly what your skin needs.

Influencer7 hr. agoI swear by anything with Centella when my skin is throwing a tantrum. Purito’s Wonder Releaf is one of the few that doesn’t leave a sticky film too! Influencer7 hr. agoYesss, so true. Some Centella serums feel slimy but this one actually sinks in beautifully.

Influencer7 hr. agoI used to think Centella was just hype… then Purito proved me wrong during my worst barrier breakdown. Forever in my emergency kit now. Influencer7 hr. agoSame!! It’s like instant first aid for stressed skin. I even layer it twice if my cheeks are flaring up.
-
Influencer7 hr. agoAnyone else love that they reformulated to remove essential oils? My sensitive skin thanks them every day. Influencer7 hr. agoExactly. The old version was good, but the new formula feels even calmer somehow. Influencer7 hr. ago@Influencer I love pairing it with a rich moisturizer at night. Helps lock in that soothing effect and my redness is basically nonexistent the next morning.

Influencer7 hr. agoLowkey, I wish the bottle was bigger though. I go through it way too fast when my skin’s having a moment lol. Influencer7 hr. agoLiterallyyy. They need to make a jumbo size already. I’d be first in line.

Influencer7 hr. agoAlso appreciate that it’s fragrance-free without smelling weird. Some ‘unscented’ products still smell funky but this one’s just clean.
