Centella Multi Balm Best Natural Acne Treatment Face Moisturizer For Dry Sensitive Skin Tea Tree Oil Cica Maedcca Trouble Care Blemish Cream Balm Face and Body 2.36 Fl oz 70ml

Okay , I LOVEEEEEE this product ! I had HORRIBLE acne problems a few months back and my face is 95% clear now . I do use other products but this balm/cream was a key product ! I got a sample that was cream formulated and was running out and Amazon had it as a “balm” I personally prefer the cream one but they both work the same . The balm has a texture like wax and kinda like Vaseline . And the price for how much product your get is awesome and a little ( pea size ) goes a long way! I apply it at night so it’s not a deal breaker for me !

I’ve used the mini version of this in the past, so when I saw the larger version I was excited.First, let me tell you about the ACTUAL product - it’s a decent balm. A slight herbal smell, somewhat oily as you’d expect from a balm, and just overall nicely moisturizing, protective, and healing.Anyway, I had ordered this larger size and it was extremely thick, goopy, sticky, and had a very unpleasant sour oil/plastic-y smell. It wasn’t anything like what I had used in the past. So I checked the bottom, and it was expired an entire year before I had even ordered it!!! (Mfd: 2018.11.27; Exp: 2020.11.25)Unfortunately for me, I didn’t open it as soon as I got it and I’m past the return date. The expiration is on the tin, which is packaged inside a sealed box. Not sure why you wouldn’t put the expiration somewhere you can see without opening the product.Anyway, I recommend purchasing this from another source, as the non-expired product is actually quite nice.

Hydrating, Aromatic Smooth Balm; Not Intended for FaceThe PUREFORET (Korean brand) Centella Multi Balm is marketed as the "Best Natural Acne Treatment Face Moisturizer For Dry Sensitive Skin Tea Tree Oil Cica Maedcca Trouble Care Blemish Cream Balm Face and Body." It comes in a flat, cylindrical 2.36oz or 70ml tin with a screw-on lid for about ~$26. They also include an empty 15ml container with identical branding in the box. I guess this is to transfer the product into something smaller I can easily carry around with me? Or it was supposed to have the product in it, but mine did not. I'm not sure which is the case.The balm has a slightly off-white color and smells fragrantly herby. It has a lovely smooth, medium-thick but easy to spread texture.Ingredient List (off the box at the time of purchase):Centella Asiatica infused Jojoba Oil, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil, Beeswax, Jojoba wax PEG-120 Esters, Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba) Seed Oil, Salicylic Acid, Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Oil, Willow Bark Extract, Chamomile Flower Oil, and Pogostemon Cablin OilUsers are instructed to apply this balm to dry, irritated areas of the skin and neck. Personally, I like using it on my hands only. While this is marketed towards those with acne-prone skin, I would not apply this to your face. We don't know the tea tree and salicylic acid concentrations, and there are a couple of troublesome essential oils. These could be problematic to sensitive skin—lavender oil, for example. When exposed to air, lavender oil (mint family) will start to oxidize, creating the potential for irritation. It is an unnecessary, sensitizing ingredient. It is primarily used as a fragrance ingredient. Suppose you’re wondering why lavender oil doesn’t appear to be problematic for some people? In the short term, users may see lovely, seemingly beneficial results. However, the damage to your skin will not always be immediately seen or felt. For some, it takes time for the adverse effects to be noticeable. It is common to see severe contact dermatitis (rashes) after applying products with essential oils in their formulations. Thus, for those with sensitive skin, especially, it is ideal to avoid potentially sensitizing or irritating ingredients in the first place.Is this balm worth it?For me, no. I have mature, sensitive, acne-prone, product-reactive skin. Also, I have other salves that are not herb-oil fragrant heavy with a similar texture and spreadability, and they cost a fraction of this one. The packaging is simple, useful, and cute, and you get a fair amount of product.

Very fast and effective results from this balm so I'm definitely hooked on it now. Works great as a moisturizer alone but also does wonders on acne. I had no more breakouts after using this which is really amazing.

Despite my sensitive skin, I didn't react badly at all to this. I've only gotten great results so far. My skin is soft and smooth and this even seems to be preventing new pimples from popping out

This is a tin of nearly solid moisturizer. I find it best for dry hands and feet vs facial care. It has a very distinctive woody scent that I am not familiar with. It’s an effective moisturizer, but a bit greasy. It has helped my feet and hands a lot. I use it on both prior to bed. The company seems to be aiming for a general use market ( acne, dry skin, etc) but I find it more moisturizing than anything else.
