Purito has removed all the essential oils and fragrant components from this iconic product to make it suitable for even the most sensitive skin types. This is a serum that EVERYONE needs. It deeply hydrates, heals, soothes, reduces breakouts, is anti-bacterial, and has anti-aging properties! It is, arguably, the queen of Purito’s Centella range. The texture is a thick gel that absorbs easily, leaving the skin feeling plump and refreshed.
The star ingredient of this is Centella Asiatica (Cica), which has been used for centuries in East Asia for its incredible multi-faceted properties. It has been nicknamed Tiger Grass because tigers were purported to roll around in the plant to heal and soothe their scratches.
Key Ingredients
49% Centella Asiatica (Cica) Extract
Scientific studies have shown that this ingredient:
Accelerates wound healing
Stimulates collagen production, which improves signs of aging and firms the skin
Is anti-bacterial and anti-inflammatory
Improves the skin’s ability to retain moisture and increases the skins natural hyaluronic acid content
Improves acne and excess oiliness
Reduces irritation and redness
Is a powerful antioxidant (protects against UV damage, pollution and free radicals)
This serum not only contains a whopping 49% of Centella Asiatica Extract, but the individual active compounds of Cica have been added as well. These include Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid and Madecassic Acid. This truly packs a powerful punch of Cica power.
Peptides
Peptides are the building blocks of proteins. When used topically, they can stimulate collagen production, and thus firm the skin and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. They can also play a role in restoring the skin barrier.
Ceramide NP
Ceramides are fats that play an important role in locking hydration in and protecting the skin. Ceramides in the skin reduce due to aging or damage. Ceramide NP in particular is known to intensely improve the moisture content and skin barrier function in aging and dry skin.
3% Niacinamide (Vitamin B3)
A super-powered ingredient that helps with all skin concerns. Countless studies have shown that it greatly improves hyperpigmentation, improves the look of enlarged pores, normalizes sebum production and has anti-aging properties!
Sodium Hyaluronate
The salt form of Hyaluronic Acid. It has similar properties, except that it is a smaller molecule, and therefore absorbs deeper into the skin. Hyaluronic Acid is a molecule that attracts and holds onto water. It deeply hydrates and plumps up the skin. Has anti-inflammatory and soothing capabilities, and may help to balance the skin’s oil production.
Panthenol
Also known as pro-vitamin B5, this is a molecule that can attract and hold on to water (humectant). It has soothing, anti-inflammatory properties and can reduce redness from irritation.
Green Tea Extract
A potent and soothing plant extract that can reduce excess oil production in the skin. Has antioxidant properties and may improve uneven skin tone.
After cleansing and toning, gently pat 1-2 pumps into the skin. Follow with a moisturizer, face oil or sunscreen.

The first time I used this moisturizer I was amazed at how fast my skin went from red to normal. I have extra sensitive skin and struggle with redness. It is very gentle,soothing and reparative. It keeps my skin clear and breakout free. I’m beyond happy with this product.
Rated 5 out of 5

I used to love this serum but as I got busy with life and started trying new skincare I forgot all about it. I started getting breakouts again and ended up wrecking my skin barrier with all the harsh products I used for acne. My skin was peeling, red, irritated and I was still getting pimples. I tried using the cosrx Propolis toner, the Haru Haru toner, and many other things to heal my skin. But only this serum gave me instant results. It feels so cooling and soothing on the skin. I think I was breaking out even more because my skin barrier was so compromised. Ever since I started using this serum again, my skin is healthy, plump and glowing and the breakouts are going away.
The best part is that when I use this together with acne treatments, my skin does not get irritated and it is finally clearing up. I cannot recommend it enough!
