Just wanted to share a quick review of the iUNIK Centella Calming Gel Cream after using it for the past 3–4 months. I was really excited to try it because I loved the lightweight gel texture and the simple, travel-friendly packaging and it just feels so nice to use!
For a bit of context, I have combination skin and deal with some mask-related acne on my chin thanks to the humid weather😅. While this cream felt great overall, I did start to notice some irritation around my acne-prone areas and especially around my nose. It gave a bit of a stinging sensation there, which was a bummer. I ended up switching to a different moisturizer for those spots, which kind of defeats the purpose of a calming cream.
All in all, I’d give it a 3/5. I think it could work for some skin types, but for me, it didn’t quite live up to the soothing claims. Probably wouldn’t repurchase, but I’m glad I gave it a shot!
Let me know if it worked differently for you. I’d love to hear other experiences!

Influencer11 days agoIt’s so annoying when “calming” creams end up doing the opposite… did you ever figure out which ingredient might’ve triggered it? I was gonna buy this 😬 Influencer11 days agongl this one was mid for me too. centella usually works but this just didn’t do much. I wanted it to be like the Purito cream but nah. Influencer11 days agoYeah I did, looked it up and found out that Centella Asiatica can potentially cause irritation in some ppl and I guess I am one of em 🥲

Influencer11 days agoHonestly this seems like one of those creams that only works if your skin’s already doing fine 😂 Not if it’s actually stressed Influencer11 days agoYeah seriously lol so it's not for me.
