Centella

Pros

• Ectoin / Centella / vit C (I prefer ethyl Ascorbic) / copper peptides / maybe some other peptides are things you could add that actually do something.
• as for the irritation, centella & mugwort containing products are fantastic for soothing irritated skin. I like centella more, I feel like it’s more effective for acne but both are fine.
• I focussed on barrier care: Panthenol, Centella, Ceramides, low % Niacinamide, lipids. My skin has been calm and grateful, even during my luteal and menstrual phase.
• If you wanted to improve the small bumps a bit, sometimes adding something very mild like azelaic acid or a soothing barrier product (like centella or panthenol) can help calm redness and smooth texture without irritating rosacea.

Cons

• I did also realise that using centella all the time may not be beneficial 😆 I was thinking about getting some peptides for my morning routine and then chat GPT also suggested niacinamide instead of the serums on some days, but this woul...
• right now for skin care i am using centella (a korean skincare brand), but i’m also losing hope and i feel so lost because i don’t see any improvement.
