Hi everyone I'm Sarah and I'm Michael. Brian, do you want to come in here? Let's get into it.
So now we're going to look at some Centella products that we brought with us that were
the most picked on our Picky app. So Brian you've never used any of these products before right? No.
Do you know what Centella even is? No. Perfect. So first up we have the Cica Serum from COSRX.
So it's a little dropper. Where would i apply it? to you just i'm testing on my hands yeah
just apply to your head so the palm or the this is just just your first impression once cold
the feel is extremely smooth
and i'm supposed to just rub it in i know there's different techniques potentially
like padding rubbing scrubbing many verbs uh little bubbles looks like if you're rubbing
too much maybe maybe you put too much on too much it would one drop because it's only the back of
my hand normally would be the entire face yeah do you want to show that it doesn't it doesn't feel
greasy absorbing quite nicely and uh yeah yeah would you use this product again yes
what's the purpose like what is my intended outcome to target your skin concerns like if you
have any kind of redness or inflammation you can help with that ah so i'm helping if there is uh
redness or if you also look at the acne as well on acne so yeah i would what's your
favorite thing about the product and is there anything you didn't like let me check and see
do a smell check no smell so that's nice texture was nice i do not feel coated as far as things i
wouldn't like i don't know how much to apply point no downsides that i can tell as a complete amateur
nice product so this one actually is super popular on our app it's the Dr. Jart+ Cicapair
Centella gel cream so you can open the box okay calming gel cream soothes irritated sensitive
and sensitized skin regularly all right let's get into this it takes too long cut this part
a tube i'm gonna run out of hands here
before i make the serum mistake about how much should i apply to a back of the hand
size area like i would like just like a doll like really yeah like just do that watch now
yeah that looks so good extremely yeah no it's your first time
right out of my mouth yeah silky smooth which is surprising from
a tube product that's spreads in quite nice
it has smell but it's very faint and kind of pleasant it's not not bad
spreading a nice so yeah visually let's also compare no shine no visual shine so it's uh
i would call it undercover product so you can wear it without closing what time of
day would i be applying this the start of the day where i'm doing this before i head out and i have
to then smell it all day or like before i go to bed and then i just fall asleep and don't notice
i think if this scent bothers you probably just wear it at night then definitely
i believe you can wear this day or night you said it's very matte finish
plus has been exact and the last one is the La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5.
i probably didn't pronounce that correctly yeah laboratory dermatology
we have another tube okay so this one serum was translucent clear the Dr. Jart+ one was a light
green paste this one now is a uh white white paste so let's find some yeah yeah see
uh that's probably a little probably do you want to put some on mine so you don't have so
disappearing quite easily initial
it has a odor to it
not as pleasant as the Dr. Jart+ but this one it does remind me more of you know sunscreen
as opposed to
as for the feeling it's not as smooth as either the other two however
the skin afterwards feels nice and smooth like this one's just
about as smooth as the cosrx one but not quite almost there better than the dr jart but not
as good as the cosrx. let's play Cica olympics so out of our three contestants yes who gets
do they do the broad style first or they probably yeah we'll start yeah
i would say the volume of the product per dollar so how much am i getting per dollar and how much
do i need to use uh how much is each application so essentially how many applications do i get
per purchase per dollar essentially kind of compare them that way uh third place
i would say yeah it was the one that i'm not going to try to pronounce yeah second place definitely
dr jart he had the odor the feel wasn't as good but it was nice and smooth to apply um and yeah
number one gold medal the cosrx one the bottle looks cool and it looks like you're like some
kind of alchemist or scientist making something and it applied super smooth you needed very little
um so that bottle probably goes a long way yeah cosrx gold medal in this case and these olympics
you can't take this home with this one no no need a little first place actually so like this
one's this one second this one's glass and this one oops first it's not gonna balance
there we go
okay well thank you brian like my fresh amateur hands are now serious
so now that we heard brian's honest feedback and thoughts about each of these products
we want to see some of our skin care enthusiasts on Picky what they thought about
each of these three products so starting with the cosrx product the cica serum it
we have a review from Super Picky Squad members chloemont and mlsdiaries so chloemont says it
is surprisingly lightweight when trying it for the first time i find that it's quite thick but
after a long while i began to familiarize with the texture and found my way to applying it properly
the result it does a lot to help calming redness reducing the appearance of my pores
it's also with soothing my skin on days is irritated on the downside she said it requires
a little bit of patience and waiting for the serum to absorb so actually surprisingly brian
had kind of a similar opinion as chloe. Maybe he can be a skincare enthusiast too one day
let's see mlsdiaries she also says it has a lightweight consistency which makes it easily
absorbed in the skin it's actually her go-to serum when she's having monthly hormonal breakouts.
So next one we're going to talk about Dr. Jart+ this one was highly talked about on the
app actually um it was one of the most picked the most reviewed actually had a rating of 4.3 and it
has really awesome ingredients on top of Centella including niacinamide and the licorice root
extract so from our Picky Squad we have SHAI88 and she gave it five stars and she i love this product
moisturizes the skin without leaving it oily again perfect for skin flare-ups and acne prone
with either active or healing acne and any skin sensitivities reduce redness and really soothe the
skin my only moisturizer when i was experiencing massive mask me breakout and our other review is
from swati who is a super picky squad member and she said i love its ultra light gel texture and
it sinks into skin quickly a small amount goes a long way due to impressive coverage and smooth
application while the gel cream is quite hydrating it is enough on its own if you have oily or
combination but if you have dry skin i recommend you to add another moisturizer or oil with this
i love how this cooling gel cream helps soothe irritated skin especially in hot climates uh she
does recommend though for dry skin do use another moisturizer on top of it as this one probably
won't be enough so let's see how do we pronounce it is it La Roche-Posay i'm gonna go with
La Roche-Posay Cicaplast Baume B5 so now this product actually has really great ratings on Picky
4.7 on picky has Centella, glycerin panthenol and it's great for drier skin types according to the
reviews but let's see what specific members in our picky community have said about this product so we
have a review from Picky squad member VAO. VAO says this one is my holy grail i can't believe
we just met a few months ago i use it on my combination skin almost every day especially in
the winter i use it mostly after retinoid or acids and it does wonders to my success to a sassy skin.
Wow this is like such a descriptive review i feel like
wow that's a i'm gonna i'm gonna follow you on Picky VAO and then second we have a four star
review from picky squad member beatrice says this cream is the only one that helped me get rid of an
irritation that i got due to a match mastery is a pretty big issue uh we're definitely uh going
to make another video related to masking on the downside beatrice says it's not very moisturizing
so beatrice has to use it with another moisturizer very very helpful tips and remember if you want to
see more reviews because then again these are very well reviewed and picky if you want to see more
then we recommend checking out the app because you can get details about the ingredients
