Claims vs. Reality
Enriched with Panthenol and Glycerin - the ultimate hydration boost for a refreshed look. Specially formulated with a unique blend of 7 types of ceramides, fatty acids, and natural moisturising factors, this moisturiser not only hydrates, but also fortifies your skin barrier. Perfect for daily use, the lightweight and cooling gel texture soothes irritated skin while quickly absorbing into the skin without any greasy residue.
The definitive SOS treatment for highly reactive, damaged skin. Instead of relying on a weak watery extract, Skinmade formulates this serum with a staggering 83 percent Centella Asiatica baseline. It physically isolates the most potent clinical compounds of the plant to rapidly accelerate wound healing. Supported by a 5 percent Beta Glucan matrix and bio-compatible Squalane, it drops localized facial heat almost immediately upon application. The texture is a beautiful, cloudy hydro-gel that spreads with an immensely soothing cushion, absorbing cleanly within 20 seconds to leave a touch-soft, deeply calmed canvas.
The Reality: The isolated triterpenic acids actively stimulate collagen synthesis over wounded tissue, accelerating the physical closure of open blemishes safely.
The Reality: The formula fast-tracks the clearing of superficial post-inflammatory redness and accelerates healing cleanly, but deep physical pitted scars demand clinical fractional CO2 lasers to reconstruct tissue entirely.
The Reality: The massive 83 percent Centella baseline paired with Snow Mushroom and Green Tea Extract down-regulates localized vascular endothelial growth factors, shutting down red flushing networks smoothly.
👍 Formulator Pros
- Features an immense 83 percent Centella Asiatica base, delivering world-class soothing and scar-healing performance.
- Incorporates isolated clinical compounds to provide targeted tissue repair without heavy pore clogging.
- 100 percent free from added fragrances, volatile alcohols, or silicones, maximizing long-term pore safety parameters.
👎 Potential Downsides
- The highly concentrated botanical nature gives it a slight natural earthy aroma that lacks cosmetic masking.
- The hydro-gel base means chronically dry skin phenotypes must follow immediately with a rich moisture cream.
- Dropper bottle design demands clean handling to prevent air contamination variables over continuous daily routine tracking.

Common Questions
What the community asks most — answered with formulation facts.
What makes this Centella serum different from regular soothing serums?+
Traditional soothing serums use a tiny percentage of Centella extract diluted in standard water. Skinmade engineers this serum with a massive 83 percent Centella base. Furthermore, it physically isolates the four most powerful healing compounds from the plant, delivering clinical-grade tissue repair and scar healing that standard watery extracts simply cannot match cleanly safely.
Will this serum cause my acne-prone skin to go through a purging phase?+
No. Centella and Beta Glucan are skin-soothing and barrier-stabilizing nutrients, not cell-peeling alpha hydroxy acids. They do not accelerate cellular turnover speeds, so they cannot physically induce purging tracks. Any sudden bumps point to a standard localized botanical sensitivity instead smoothly.
Can I use it in both my morning AM and evening PM routines?+
Yes, absolutely! The formula is completely photostable and non-photosensitive. Using it in the morning creates an amazing antioxidant baseline that controls midday redness beneath your sunscreen, while using it at night drives rapid cellular repair while you sleep flawlessly smoothly.
Is it safe for fungal acne (Malassezia)?+
Yes, 100 percent. This advanced watery formula utilizes Squalane (which is bio-compatible) and completely avoids all plant oils, long-chain fatty acids, and triggering esters entirely, making it thoroughly safe for fungal acne skin templates under local humidity loops safely.
How should I apply this serum for maximum results?+
Dispense 2 to 3 pumps directly into your clean, bare palms, rub your hands together once, and pat the fluid flat into your clean face contours right after washing smoothly. Add a couple more pumps if you are also applying it to your neck and chest.
