IUNIK Centella Calming Gel Cream Moisturizer 60ml

Skincare is extremely important and frugal to me, and as a newbie I’ve been doing A TON of research, so this is going to be a loaded review that details just about everything I’ve learned about this product and how it works with other products. Hopefully it helps others who struggle with oily skin and acne breakouts. I’m 21 years old and live in a dry, desert climate, so I have oily yet dry skin, meaning that due to the dry nature of my skin, i produce excess sebum which causes oiliness and (newly) breakouts. I can’t express how important this information is when looking for skincare products!!! Don’t look at just the benefits of certain products, make sure you know your skin type and it’s sensitivities before purchasing!! I follow a 3-5 step skincare routine, using 3 main products daily, and occasionally using a toner or an exfoliant. I haven’t tried any serums or essences yet due to my skins acne prone nature and needing to learn how my skin reacts to products first— essentially, if you’re new to skincare, don’t dive right into a 5-10 step routine, make a foundation that addresses your primary concerns first and learn how your skin reacts to certain products. I’ve swapped through many products all read, from Klair’s Gentle Black Deep Cleansing Oil to Acewell’s Licorice pH Balancing Cleansing Toner, to Missha’s Super Aqua Cell Renew Snail Cream to Thank You Farmer’s SPF, and more, all of which did not help, despite being good products for others. The routine I currently run with is: Hanskin’s Pore Cleansing Oil BHA Etude’s Soon Jung pH 6.5 Whip Cleanser (which i may be swapping soon) and now Iunik’s Centella Calming Gel Cream + the occasional Green Tea exfoliant and Apple Cider Vinegar homemade toner (important to do research before using ACV!!) This cream has been the absolute cherry on top. My double cleanse plus a moisturizer was doing okay, it was an improvement but i was still getting breakouts and having an oily sheen afterwards. Iunik’s Calming Gel has tied it all together into a neat little bow. It’s only been 3 days and my acne is already clearing up 10-fold. All of my pimples have broken down into tiny spots and are going away quickring than ever, I haven’t had any new breakouts yet and my skin doesn’t feel slick and greasy. The only thing I have to say is do not apply this in your bathroom after showering, the moisture in the air will cause it to absorb poorly and you will be left with your skin feeling tight and dry. Wait until the humidity in the bathroom has aired out and it isn’t so hot before applying this product. When applied correctly, it works great! I was going to give this 4 stars, as I still feel that there may be a bit more moisture to be desired, but it does as advertised and truly works. so I’m going to be testing out some serums and essences to find one that’s compatible with my new routine to get that extra moisture boost. If this product continues working the way it has these last 3 days, it will easily become a staple in my routine. But summary of all this, if you have skin like mine that isn’t very sensitive, but struggles with excess sebum and acne, this product will most likely work for you!

First off - thanks Hyram for the recommendation of this product. In less than a month, this has almost completely cleared my skin and helped prevent new acne. I have been trying everything for years to get rid of my constantly reoccurring adult acne along the cheeks and jawline. Nothing had worked even remotely close to this moisturizer. Acne is almost zapped away overnight, red spots have cleared, and the amounts of breakouts I have has decreased at least 90%. To start my routine, I use a oil cleanser (when I wear makeup) and follow up with a mild salicylic acid cleanser. I then use the Tea Tree serum from iUnik and then this moisturizer. Now, since it is winter where I live (freezing and dry) and since I have normal skin type that goes dryer in the winter and oilier in the summer, this moisturizer doesn't provide enough moisture for me, so I go in with a supplemental HA moisturizer as well. If you have oily skin, I think you will love this product and will not need to supplement with an additional moisturizer. It is a really lightweight formula that instantly gets absorbed by the skin. If you are on the dryer side, I would still recommend this product, but use it like a serum and then go in add an additional moisturizer. Do beware, with the recent reformulation some added fragrance is now on the list of ingredients. However, they are the last ingredients and I believe they are just there to lightly counteract the smell from the ingredient substitute that allowed them to eliminate silicone from the formulation. Frankly, you can't even smell it. Even with overly sensitive skin, I wouldn't worry that the fragrance will have too much of a negative impact. The other ingredients are so fantastic that they greatly outweigh the small amount of fragrance added. Overall, I'm so impressed by this product that I would recommend it over any other products available in the popular beauty stores like Sephora and Ulta.

I love it. It’s the perfect watery texture for my oily acne prone skin. The size was way smaller than I expected but it’s the type of product where a little goes a long way. It’s a bit too expensive. Not sticky at all. This product would not be suitable for dehydrated skin but it’s perfect for oily acne prone skin in a humid weather.

I’ve been using this since January and use it everyday. My skin flared up out of nowhere and I didn’t know if it was perioral dermatitis or folliculitis or who knows. But I did research and this calming gel popped up. This with the beta glucan moisturizer and Vanicream Z bar cleared my skin up so quickly and I haven’t had another flare up since.

This gel cream feels super light on the skin and absorbs quickly without feeling sticky. It helped calm my redness and kept my skin hydrated all day. Perfect for sensitive and oily skin!
