Over expectation!
Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Enrich Cream 50 ml
I have read in several places that it absolutely does not suit oily skin or combination oily skin as it is so greasy. And I bought it anyway and have been a bit skeptical to try it because it "is just so greasy". I don't know if those people have tested the same cream as I have, but it is absolutely fantastic for my skin, which is oily and prone to clogged pores, but also very sensitive and reactive (rosacea and easily gets eczema). Richer creams tend to make my rosacea flare up significantly, but even though this one is a bit richer in consistency, my rosacea does not react.
The consistency is a bit "slimy", like snail slime products but in cream form. The cream glides on the skin without any problems and melts in and plumps up the skin, and no sticky film is left behind. The skin feels well hydrated, calm, and soft. The skin does not get oily and the "finish" is more satin/matte. How the product feels after it has sunk in is very reminiscent of Jorgorbé Balancing complex moisturizer.
What is so great about this cream is that I can control a bit how well it hydrates. In the evening, I take a richer layer, and during the day a thinner one.
Makeup sits really nicely over the cream!
I have nothing to complain about! The jar feels luxurious with a nice dark brown color. Fragrance-free, smells like nothing specific.
An absolute favorite!
