First Impression & Experience: ★★★★★

The cream has light scent but not too strong & very soothing to smell. It's also soothing for the skin. It calms down red & irritated pimple immediately, especially those underneath the skin ones. For the first time using, I got too much of them & my face became too "ghosty". A tiny bit, literally only a droplet size can already be used on a few spots (typical pimple size). Just the amount on the lid can last for almost a month, then only start to use the jar's portion. Targeted spots will be flatten overnight when you woke up.

Pros:

• Calmed irritated/inflamed pimples
• Great for pre & post pimples
• Smoothen skin texture after applying (like concealer/tone-up effect)
• Help with flattening any pimples/bumps on forehead
• A small jar but can last for very very long time

Cons:

• Doesn't work on maturing pimple, only for underneath skin & already popped ones
• Has white cast, but will disappear if blends in longer
• Doesn't fade dark marks caused by pimples/hyperpigmentation

Final Thoughts & Conclusion:

The best (imo) calming cream for post-pimples as it gives a very soothing sensation to those already popped pimples. So far, it's the only product that works for my underneath-skin pimples & forehead bumps (can be flatten the next day). The ingredients used in the cream are all very soothing & calming to the irritated skin/spots.

If applied on a big area of your face, blending all in until no white cast, it'll be quite sticky (so it's recommended to apply at least 15 minutes before your bed time), but you'll wake up with a glowing & smooth skin.

I usually use this Centella Blemish Cream in PM routine cause of the white cast & I only do specific spot treatment, without blending all in (I use other product in AM routine). The effect works the best if you put the cream & wait till it dries, then stick with a pimple patch. The popped pimple mark (I don't mean by popping it yourself ❗) will be very flattened & no more redness overnight.
