This is not hydrating enough for combo skin. Left my skin feeling like it needed more, but it does absorb well and has no scent.
Unfortunately I realized my skin is sensitive to centella asiatica after consistently getting irritation after using this. I’ve found It gets worse if layering multiple products that contain centella (aka cica or tiger grass). It’s all over Korean skincare too 😓

I already use Malezia’s cleanser and moisturizer so I decided to get their bp. It’s FAR superior to any bp I’ve tried. The formulation is moisturizing and feels great on the skin. It doesn’t aggravate my skin and it Show more
