My Doctor's Diagnosis: Analysis and Target

Visit Yuzu Blemish Gel Cream of the brand Good Molecules is primarily intended for skin prone to imperfections, excess sebum, and residual acne scars. Its formula aims to regulate skin imbalances while respecting the skin's moisture barrier. My analysis highlights a balanced approach, combining purifying, soothing, and antioxidant active ingredients, making it suitable for combination to oily skin, but also for sensitive skin seeking to treat imperfections without causing irritation.

Formula Analysis: Key Assets

Three active ingredients stand out in this formula:

• Salicylic acid This beta hydroxy acid penetrates pores to gently exfoliate, unclog, and limit the formation of blackheads. It is known for its effectiveness on pimples and blackheads.
• Bisabolol : Derived from chamomile, it has soothing and anti-inflammatory properties, reducing redness and irritation often associated with anti-blemish treatments.
• Centella asiatica : This plant extract promotes skin repair and soothes, while strengthening the skin's protective barrier.

The presence of antioxidant plant extracts (green tea, pomegranate, grapevine) enriches the formula, offering protection against oxidative stress and contributing to a radiant complexion.

Tips and Application Ritual

I apply this gel-cream in the morning and/or evening to clean skin, in a thin layer over the entire face or locally on areas with imperfections. It is compatible with moisturizing active ingredients (hyaluronic acid, niacinamide), but I do not recommend combining it with other powerful exfoliants (AHA, retinol) to avoid irritation. Sun protection is essential in the morning when using salicylic acid.

My Final Verdict & Safety Opinion

This product stands out for its balance between effectiveness against blemishes and respect for skin sensitivity. Its light gel-cream texture is pleasant and non-greasy. It has a subtle, natural citrus scent. In conclusion, I recommend this product for blemish-prone skin types looking for a comprehensive, gentle, and well-tolerated skincare product.
