PURITO Centella Green Level Recovery Cream

This is a new cream from PURITO which contains not only 50% Centella Asiatica extract, but also its derivatives asiatic and madecassic acids. Asiatic acid is an anti-aging compound, that helps to plump up your skin, prevents wrinkles, fine lines and scar tissue forming, it has anti-inflammatory and anti-swelling properties. Madecassic acid helps in the production of collagen and reduces swelling, therefore it will make your skin more supple and firm. Besides, this cream also contains macadamia oil, which prevents water loss from your skin tissues. It is also high in phytosterols, which helps calm and soothe irritated skin. Argan oil is reputed to help reduce wrinkles by restoring the skin’s hydro-lipid layer. It soothes skin ailments such as chickenpox, acne, psoriasis, and dry eczema. Witch hazel extract reduces the look of pores, stops excess oil production and is known as a varicose remedy which lessens leakage from veins and strengthens the blood vessels. Here you can find the full list of ingredients. This is a highly moisturizing cream which soothes the skin and has anti-aging effect. Your skin is naturally glowing after application of the cream!

My comments: It is a lightweight cream with soft light scent. It dries down to a matte finish, really moisturizing the skin. After applying, the skin gets a velvety touch and becomes instantly firm. I think this cream is not moisturizing enough for dry skin or during winter. It’s really nice that the brand makes samples. I liked this cream a lot and will repurchase the full version of it.

PURITO Centella Green Level All In One Mild Pad

Those pads are for delicate cleansing, soft exfoliation and moisturizing. The surface of the pad has rough and smooth sides. I was convinced to buy those pads because of two things. Firstly, the core ingredient is Centella Asiatica (10%) which is famous for its wide therapeutic and anti-age actions. Secondly, the pad sample containing two pieces of pad inside is a convenient solution for travelling. There is a full-sized version as well with 70 pads in it.

The rich Centella Asiatica extract is not the only active ingredient. Within other ingredients you can find BHA acid to help eliminate dead skin cells, asiatic acid, which has anti-inflammatory properties, helps reducing swelling, stimulates hyaluronic acid and collagen synthesis. It also contains madecassic acid, which increases the production of collagen and elastin, reduces swelling, and allantoin, which is responsible for soft exfoliation. More moisturizing and soothing ingredients can be found with arginin, helping with cellular renewal. Licorice root extract is a great brightening agent. Besides, there is also tea tree leaf oil extract.

The manufacturer suggests to use these pads not only for face, neck and decollete, but also for elbows, lips, eye lids, back, breast and even for heels.

So far, I am liking Purito Centella pads. The scent is not very pronounced, there is no need to either rinse the face off after using the pad or apply toner afterwards. Pads are great not only for cleansing but also for moisturizing. The skin feels smoother, cleaner and refreshed as it should be after exfoliation. And since these pads are so mild and gentle, all skin types can benefit from them, including sensitive type.

PURITO Centella Green Level Buffet Serum–review

The brand Purito is blessing us with a whole line based on Centella Asiatica (CA).
This is a unique plant regarding its effects on the skin, although it looks like a weed.
In China this plant is called “The fountain of youth”. In Ayurveda CA is called Gotu Kola, “a pharmacy in one herb”. It is found in most tropical and subtropical
countries growing in swampy areas, including parts of East Asia, the north of
Australia and New Guinea. The primary active constituents of CA are saponins (also called triterpenoids), asiatic and madecassic acids, asiaticoside, centelloside, vitamin C, polyacetylene compounds, flavonoids, tannins. Extract of CA is used in
cosmetology for preventing premature aging and for strengthening the weakened veins (as a sign of rosacea). CA speeds up wound healing and assists in the maintenance of connective tissue via increasing collagen synthesis up to 30% in the deep layers of the skin.
Centella Green Level Buffet Serum contains 49% of CA extract, niacinamide, camellia leaf extract, adenosine, ceramide, sodium hyaluronate, etc. The manufacturer claims that all the herbs were picked and sorted by hand. This serum is recommended for all skin types including sensitive ones. Here you can find the full list of ingredients.

My comments: Beauty products with Centella are always a jackpot. This serum is a clear liquid with a really nice plant scent most probably due to the CA flavor (it is the main ingredient after all). Serum adsorbs very fast and makes the skin supple, firm and smooth. I do not expect any miracles from a serum by itself. It does its job silently. But using the whole Purito line with Centella I noticed that my nasty painful hormonal cysts (those ones that cannot be treated with anything) are calming down.
This serum reduces swelling and inflammation, makes the skin smooth and
nourishes it. I honestly like everything about this serum. After using 10 samples I
will definitely purchase full-sized product.
