My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Centifolia's Fresh Mattifying Regulating Fluid is primarily intended for combination to oily skin prone to shine, enlarged pores, and minor imperfections. My analysis of the formulation reveals a clear desire to mattify the skin while preserving its moisture. This product aims to regulate excess sebum, refine skin texture, and provide an immediate feeling of freshness, making it a relevant choice for those seeking a matte, even complexion without a drying effect.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three active ingredients stand out in this formula. First, the zinc PCA, known for its sebum-regulating and purifying properties, works by limiting sebum production and reducing blemishes. Next, the’green tea leaf water (Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water) provides antioxidant and soothing properties, ideal for calming irritation and protecting the skin from external aggressions. Finally, the silica (Silica) and tapioca starch have an immediate mattifying effect, absorbing excess sebum for a velvety finish. Natural moisturizing agents such as glycerin and sodium PCA help maintain skin hydration, preventing sebum rebound.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this fluid in the morning to clean, dry skin, focusing on the T-zone. It can be used alone or before sunscreen. It is compatible with moisturizing (hyaluronic acid, aloe vera) and soothing active ingredients, but I do not recommend combining it with very rich or occlusive skincare products that could counteract the mattifying effect. It should also be avoided with powerful exfoliants to limit the risk of irritation.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This Centifolia fluid stands out for its mattifying effectiveness, light texture, and respect for the skin's balance. I appreciate the synergy between sebum regulation and hydration. One downside: the presence of fragrance and potential allergens, which should be monitored in very sensitive skin. In conclusion, it is an expert skincare product, well formulated and suited to the needs of combination to oily skin.
