Cosrx Pure Fit Cica Collection Review
The Cosrx Centella Blemish Cream is a long-standing favourite of mine. It is my go-to for blemishes, especially stubborn acne scars, and it ignited my love for Centella Asiatica. But my interest was instantly piqued by their new cica collection after seeing that it is supposed to an improved version. Could they make the blemish cream better than what it already was?
Today, I'm reviewing the Cosrx Pure Fit Cica Collection as part of the StyleKorean Try Me Review Me Event.
This collection sounds highly promising, especially with the high amounts of Cica formulated into the products. Cica, also known as Centella Asiatica, is well-known for soothing and healing irritated skin. I'm a fan of using Centella products when dealing with inflamed skin and blemishes.
Since the new Cica Collection has quadrupled the amount of Centella Asiatica as compared to the original, could this be the ultimate skin-calming pack? Let's dive right into the review.
I haven't had good experiences with Cosrx's cleansers, so I didn't know what to expect from this cleanser.
Though this cleanser contains 7 Centella-based complexes, Cosrx did not include the percentage of Centella in this product, unlike their other products in the same collection. For a further breakdown of ingredients, click here.
This toner helps to calm the skin and reinforce the skin's barrier.
These pads serve a dual function of a toner pad and sheet mask. The best part: this contains 83.2% of Centella Asiatica.
My only complaint is that it's difficult to separate the pads because they are thin and the essence is heavy. To improve this, I wish that they could provide some tweezers.
This serum received the Allure's editor pick award in 2020.
Can we take a moment to appreciate the packing? I love it.
This mask is perfect for that after-work pamper session. It works well in calming and soothing the skin.The only big downside for this product is the price. Each mask damages the wallet by USD6, which is expensive compared to other masks. For better value, I'd recommend the Pure Fit Cica Pads over this since the pads work as a mask as well.
In my previous Cosrx Centella Blemish Cream review, I mentioned that having a different packaging to reduce contamination would have been so much better. Honestly, I am so happy that this Pure Fit Cream came in a squeezy tube.
The two creams are very different, but I will save the comparisons for an in-depth K-beauty battle.
I'd prefer calling this a gel as opposed to cream because of its texture. I find that creams tend to be on the oilier and heavier side. However, this Pure Fit Cica Cream is lightweight and leaves no oily residue. It is translucent and applies easily, making it a good morning moisturiser option.
Pure Fit Cica Powder
This concept of using a powder is not new. The first time I tried out a powder skincare product was from T'iam. These products are the ones you'll see have corn starch formulated in them. Corn starch on my skin? Mind-boggling, isn't it? Especially if you rarely see corn starch in skincare. According to my dear skincare expert, Paula's choice: cornstarch has a pretty good rating and is used to thicken skincare or absorb excess oils.
Using this product can get messy since there is little control in getting the product out. But, let's answer the question: Is this product necessary? Well...If you're getting the entire Pure Fit Cica collection, I'd say it's a definite no. However, if you're only getting one or two products, or if you'd like a higher concentration of Cica in your products, then yes.
Overall:
Using the whole collection for my skincare routine was delightful. It felt like I was giving my skin a treat.
If I had to pick favourites, it would be the Pure Fit Cica Pads, Serum and Cream. Yes, although I love the original Centella Blemish Cream, this substitutes as a morning option since it is translucent and non-oily. Moreover, these three products have Centella Asiatica as their first ingredient which I think is great since Centella Asiatica is their selling point for this collection.
This collection is not only useful for facial application. I've been using the serum and cream to calm random inflammations on my arms (there's something in my room that's triggering my skin). I guess it's safe to say that these work really well.
Thanks for reading.
