Thanks to Picky and Mixsoon for sending me this Soondy Centella Asiatica Essence as a reward for my honest review.
This essence has been caught my eyes since its reviewed by one of my favs influencer suhaysalim ðŸ¤
First of all, the packaging is super cute with soondy bear caracter 💕 it comes in 100mL simply cute sturdy plastic bottle, with minimalist ingredients, 100% centella extract with water and butylene glycol as solvent.
The texture is super watery crystal brownish liquid like a tea colour. It needs time to absorb and there is greasy and little bit sticky for a while which I don’t really like. I also smell quite strong ‘alcohol like’ scent when I applied this essence, maybe from its butylene glycol solvent.
Eventhough, butylene glycol isn’t a simple alcohol, so it doen’t irritate my skin.
This essence can be use directly with hand as usual; with thin cottonpads as a skinpack; using bottle spray; also can be mixed with other skincare or cosmetic product. I personally use it directly into my face, or sometimes I use thin cottonpads to compress my pimple.
I’ve been using this essence for more than 2 weeks only in my night routine. At first I use it for a concecutive 5 days, and then I use it by turns in 2-3 days.
So far I enjoy using this essence, it really moisturize and soothing my sensitive skin. But I can’t see the claim for reducing blemishes and skin texture.
