Details
A cooling gel-cream for skin that looks stressed: after sun, after a new active, or when the weather turns humid and everything feels heavy. Centella asiatica extract and madecassoside help skin look calmer, panthenol and glycerin keep it hydrated.
It is lighter than the Barrier Moisturiser, so oily and combination skin can use it as their everyday moisturiser. It is fragrance-free and has a soft, non-sticky finish.
Suits: Combination, oily and sensitive skin that wants a light moisturiser. Dry skin can use it in the day and the Barrier Moisturiser at night.

What the research says
An overview of centella asiatica in dermatology describes extracts rich in asiaticoside, madecassoside and related triterpenes, studied mostly for wounds and scars. Panthenol sped barrier repair and reduced redness after an irritation test compared with a plain cream in a 2002 study.
What it does not say
The centella research is largely about wounds and scars, not everyday skin, and we do not say this gel heals, treats or repairs anything. We say it helps skin look calmer, which is the wording NPRA accepts. The 1% level is typical practice, not a tested strength.

Cooling and not sticky
Lovely on humid days. It sits well under sunscreen and my skin looks calmer after a week of using it morning and night.

Finally a light moisturiser
The barrier cream was too rich for me. This gel is what I use in the day now.

Gentle after retinol
I put it over my retinol on retinol nights and had no stinging. I wish the tube was bigger.

Nice, not dramatic
Pleasant and light. I did not notice a big change, but my skin feels comfortable and it does not break me out.

Good after a day in the sun
I use it after being outdoors and my face feels less hot and tight. Fragrance-free is a plus.
