Best centella asiatica product you'll ever try, if you're like me and the skin1004 centella ampoule did nothing for you this is going to be your holy grail because God this is just so much better. My redness has never beenn calmed and soothed like that before whatttt. Mixsoon uses a slower and more expensive way to extract from the plant so that's really why this product is just so serendipity, it's also another reason as to why it is on the expensive side but it's worth every penny I swear. And to compare it to the skin1004 one it's definitely more darker in colour, especialky since the bottle of the skin1004 one is tinted 😪 But yeah girlies you will not regret this product, and bonus it has a cute bear on it !!
