Scores by criterion
Pros and cons
What we like
- Niacinamide, centella asiatica and PDRN in one vegan cream
- Formulated for dark marks and redness while hydrating
- Non-comedogenic, tested for post-acne and sensitive skin
- Non-greasy finish that sits well under makeup
What may bother
- Specific to post-blemish and sensitive skin, so it is a narrow fit
- A patch test is wise with active ingredients like niacinamide and PDRN
Our verdict
86 / 100This suits a skincare enthusiast more than a casual buyer: the active trio is aimed at dark marks, redness and hydration without a greasy feel. It is a good fit for sensitive, post-blemish skin. Do not pick it for someone who prefers rich creams or a one-step routine.
