COSRX Centella Blemish Cream, 1.05 fl.oz / 30g | Centella | Korean Skin Care, Vegan, Cruelty Free, Paraben Free

this cream is my HOLY GRAIL. i have severe sensitive skin—any new product that i put on my face will give me a burning sensation, and even leave burns on my face. this picture doesn’t do enough justice, but this was after i took off my makeup and my skin was on FIRE, and my upper cheeks were swollen with the burns. quickly, i got on reddit to ask for immediate advice because ive tried high end (la roche posay) to drug store (cerave) lotions that didnt work. ultimately, i was recommended this product, and to try it once my irritation goes down—since then, i have not gone back. this moisturizer has not only reduced my irritation, but gives me a nice plump feel at the end. the ONLY issue i have with this is that it does have a scent to it and it does leave a white cast. however, this moisturizer does not leave you greasy, does not cause acne breakouts, and it lasts all day—you never have to worry about flaky skin anywhere.

I've found the blemish cream for myself, finally! My skin is combination - normal at cheeks and eyes but oily at T-zone. There's large pores all over that easily traps dirty and oil. There's redness overall and my skin reacts to product's smells, consistency, and bad formula of active ingredients when present.Results (been using for 2 days but my skin is so sensitive and reactive that I would know immediately if a product is not right for me) :Calms inflammation - fat zits be gone. Of course the inflammation don't just vanish but I can definitely tell that I have control now.No new zits - since my skin reacts easily by becoming itchy, inflammed, and with new pimples forming, I use that as my standard to see whether I react to the corsrx blemish cream or not. There's no new pimple and my skin is not red or itchy in any areas.Pushes comedome outward - trust me some of the comedome that was so deep in the skin that I didn't know existed came up, and it was so easy to extract because I just gently press the extraction tool on skin and the comedome came out. My pore became smaller after extraction but it wasn't easy to extract before so I feel that the blemish cream could be the reason for making extractions easy.Moisturizing: This creme keeps my skin moisturized as well but it is not oily or sticky. It has a matte finish which I like.Layerable: I use this cream before I apply my makeup. The consistency is not meant as a base primer so it's a good idea to use another moisturizer or primer before applying makeup.Reduce redness: when the blemish cream dries, it makes my skin looks white like I have makeup on. This is a good thing fur me because I have redness all over my skin, making my skin dull. But I can see that some people would not like this aspect of the blemish cream, especially people with darker skin type.Hopefully this helps.

I have acne, it gets pretty bad. This is one of those cases. I’d like to acknowledge its soothing agent, centella. I have other centella products, however they cause irritation and red spots to occur. But this product feels like any ordinary cream. It’s thick and has little to no odor. I’m not sure if it is worth it for the price. But definitely can be used everyday/night. I’d recommend this for anyone looking to reduce redness, although this product only works slightly.

this is a staple and holy grail product i keep in my skincare products at home. this product isn’t meant to drain gunk out of pimples, it’s more designed to calm redness and irritation after a pimple has already been drained or on sensitive areas and hyperpigmentation. this heals dark spots on my skin and soothes irritation so well. and for this price it is amazing!

This is an authentic product! It is NOT fake. :)The spot treatment seems to work fairly well on acne spots that occasionally crop up on my face. I usually have a few whiteheads which, after using the treatment at night, will disappear typically overnight. The most stubborn spots disappear from 24-48 hours with very minimal hyperpigmentation.What is most impressive is how effective it is in calming irritation. I occasionally see a streak of red irritation on my cheek/jawline area after using the very strong AHA/BHA mask from The Ordinary once a week. At night, after rinsing off The Ordinary mask, I apply toner/essence (one from COSRX called the Centella Water Alcohol-Free Toner mist, and another from Pyunkang Yul called the Essence Toner) to hydrate my skin. I follow up with moisturizer (Belif's True Cream Aqua Bomb) and then apply this spot treatment onto the red, irritated area. Overnight, the redness and irritation are gone!My only minor gripe with the product is that it is fairly thick and opaque, and it does not absorb into the skin. Rather, it sits on top of the skin, and rubbing the product will only move it around onto the skin rather than working it INTO the skin. My solution is to use very little product and generally only use it at night. A little goes a long way with this stuff! Overall, I love it and think it's great for the price point. My boyfriend uses a way more expensive brand and, after trying my tub of COSRX spot treatment, has stated that after he goes through his expensive tube he'll just switch to COSRX instead!

I love Cosrx and centella beauty products. I've had my eye on this for a while to try on the occasional spot blemish. But it wasn't what I expected. It goes on thick and ashy like zinc based products. For some reason, I was expecting a light cream. I am sure it's effective, but the texture and appearance are not for me. I am African American with richly melanated skin. If I needed this for acne, I would wear at night so I wouldn't have to deal with white cast during the day.

It functions really well as an anti-pimple cream. It’s on the drying side so you should put it on top of your moisturizer or use it as a spot treatment. It also has a big white cast so be careful using it at night my last layer of moisturizer in the morning, I would wake up with pimples and clear skin.
