A pieu face cream with madecassoside

If you re-read my posts in the “Care Cosmetics” community, you will notice that I was not always able to find a face cream that would suit me “from start to finish”. All the time it seemed that things would get better and I would definitely find my “Holy Grail” in the world of creams. Well, it looks like it's finally happened!

I was already familiar with the Korean brand A’Pieu. I have purchased their sheet face masks several times. (without delight), the first hydrophilic oil in my life was also their brand (terrible! caused allergies), so when I went to the checkout with this cream, my heart treacherously sank. Now I know that it is from delight 😉

A’PIEU Madecassoside Cream A’pieu face cream with madecassoside, 50 ml.

First, let's go over the external characteristics a little. The cream is in a plastic tube, which in turn is in a cardboard box, as in the title photo. It contains the composition and all the necessary information in Russian, English and Korean. Everything is as simple and concise as possible. The packaging is somewhat reminiscent of pharmacy cosmetics.

The lid is unscrewed and the spout is wide. There are no problems with extracting the cream. While there is enough of it, I store the tube horizontally, but when the product is finished, I put it vertically and then the cream is easily squeezed out.

The scent is pleasant. It smells like something sour. Dissipates quickly. Doesn't irritate. The texture of A'pieu Madecassoside is gel, not the classic cream. You can see this further in the photo. But for now I’ll keep a little intrigue and go straight to the description of the effect.

My skin is problematic. This word, it seems to me, fully characterizes her. Post-acne, periodic acne, it is either dry or oily. It also reacts to literally everything: water, day of the cycle, food. It would take a long time to list all the factors. This year, I finally found my working care. Not long ago I wrote a post on the Ordinary where I mentioned a cream with madecassoside. You can read it here. So, it’s the serums from the Ordinary that I cover with this cream from A’Pieu. A couple of peas of cream is enough for my entire face. I use it exclusively at night. Because, and you need to know this, the cream is sticky and takes a long time to absorb. And it seems to me that it is not very suitable for use under makeup. But I do this: I wash my face, apply the Ordinary serum, and apply cream. In the morning I just wash my face and immediately apply makeup. Really? You ask. Oh yeah! The effect of the cream is enough for me in the morning. But everything, of course, is individual. My skin reacts very well to it, and of course not only with serums, but also solo. All peeling over the winter period has disappeared, the skin is soft, elastic and nourished. But this one is exactly (strange for Russian ears) madecassoside, extracted from centella asiatica, helps protect the skin and restore it, so the cream can even be used to heal wounds. And, although I am very afraid of any silicones in creams, with this my fears were unfounded, and I repeat, it works great in tandem with niacinamide, for example.

Let's see it in action?

Attention, the following photos are not the most aesthetic!

In winter, my skin suffers not only on my face, but also on my hands. This year, somehow everything got worse, and no matter what I tried, nothing helped to remove the redness and peeling. Until, in desperation, I decided to apply the hero of this post on my hands. In just two days of daily use of the cream, the peeling, itching, and redness went away. But not a single hand cream in any price category helped me. So it goes. Actually, photo evidence. And at the same time the consistency of the cream.

The effect, as they say, is in your hands 😄 But seriously, I am very pleased with the cream. I will definitely repeat it, and most likely I will stop looking for “something better” for my skin, at least until I am satisfied with the properties and results of this cream.

Girls, thank you for your attention, my name is Christina, and call me first name.

Superheroes in the world of cosmetics are products that can handle anything! Scope of application: everywhere and at once, anytime and anywhere. For whom - "suitable for everyone."

In other words, if you're not particularly good at one thing, why not take the "I'm good at a little bit of everything" approach.

What does this cream promise: Softening, nutrition and hydration, reducing the appearance of age-related changes, restoring smoothness, firmness and elasticity, strengthening and protection from damage, anti-inflammatory effect, etc.

It is almost impossible to figure out what exactly this cream is for and what skin it is for. "Problematic, sensitive, dry skin, suitable for any skin type.."and so on ad infinitum. Everything is due to the varied composition of the product.

Volume 50ml Volume 50ml

I like the packaging design. In the spirit of pharmaceutical cosmetics with a hint of some kind of healing ointment. But in life it turned out that in a sleepy state easily confused with a tube of toothpaste.

Despite this funny drawback, the packaging is very pleasant: a soft 50 ml tube that does not leave strong creases, kinks or cracks. It is pleasing to the eye and fits well into the bathroom.

I carefully went through all the reviews for this product, and 90% of consumers assure that this is simply an amazing cream and one of the best on their shelf. There were also preliminary tests on the hand, and not just once.

To be honest, the test on my hand was wonderful, the skin instantly became soft, straight deliciously soft.

I wanted to stroke and touch the place where the cream was. 😍 Not greasy, unique, seemingly not sticky.

This is not a cream in the classical sense, but it is not a gel either. Doesn't melt, doesn't spread, doesn't leave a typical oily sheen, not dense, not slimy like a snail. Quite pliable. The texture visually resembles Voltaren ointment. It seems quite light, but when applied to the skin it has extraordinary tenacity. The coverage area is small. Because of this, you want to apply a lot of it, since it is distributed without this visual airiness. It’s difficult to rub one pea all over your face.

The aroma is light, floral and herbaceous. Dissipates quickly.

It absolutely does not lie on a wet face (toners, water-based serums). If your face is even the slightest bit wet, it will slide across it and stay on your fingers. You cannot walk over it with thermal water; it will not be absorbed.

I applied the cream to my hand, walked with it for 10-15 minutes, rinsed water, but he didn’t get away. There remains some kind of invisible, but really tangible barrier. The stickiness is gone, the slight shine is gone, but the barrier is there, you can feel it tactilely. It's light, but it's definitely there. “Paraffinized/coated with wax” - I don’t know how to describe what I see and feel. This feeling can only be removed with a wash. In other words, just wash it off thoroughly.

It’s a good idea to use it as a finish after all the serums (after letting them dry first), since there is no chance for them not to be absorbed overnight. You wash your face in the morning and realize that you have nothing to wash off. The face is not slippery. Everything was really absorbed! All cosmetics under the barrier of this cream are now 100% in your skin.

Sometimes the cream reacts with some serums (if I'm not mistaken, it was lactic acid) and turns into a single mass. In other words, it no longer becomes a top coat, but is now one with what was applied before.

  1. Stickiness
  2. Incredible softness
  3. Feeling like a mask

I went to analyze the composition after using this cream during my daily routine. completely refused to soak into my face. An hour/two/three... time to go to bed, but my face was still sticky. Washing your face with water to remove this feeling is still stupid, but effective. Of course, during sleep, all the stickiness remained on the pillow. But no, I'm not happy with that. And going outside is not an option at all - all the dust is yours. Needless to say, it is extremely difficult to apply makeup on it ☹️

And yet, this cream scares me!

What exactly? - 1) a sticky mask that it creates on the face 2) a component that forms this mask 3) its composition as a whole 4) possible consequences (clogged pores)

Let's talk about the composition:

On the front side of the cream, 2 of the 37 ingredients that the manufacturer calls are highlighted in bold text. "main active components"

  1. madecassoside 0.1%
  2. Centella asiatica leaf water 40%

In fact, centella water is a large part of the cream, and madecassoside is on the list of ingredients further10th positionand in an extremely ridiculous dosage. I would focus on Niacinamide, since it is in the top of the first ingredients.

Moreover, the composition itself as a whole is far from the safest and most pleasant, although it is rich in beautiful names. And even with a cursory glance, an ordinary buyer will doubt “is it worth it?”

Film-forming components — Dimethicone Crosspolymer and PEG dimethicone, which are in the first half of the list.

Here are the culprits of the stickiness and mask effect 😑 Which, by the way, can cause clogged pores.

They are responsible for softness - Propanediol, Phenyltrimethicone, Glycerin, Cyclohexasiloxane, Panthenol, etc.

These components are at the top of the list and only one of them is natural. It is their saints who give this momentary softness and smoothness.

Natural ingredients: green tea and witch hazel extracts, adenosine, lactic acid, etc.

Conclusions: This cream didn't ruin my skin, but it didn't improve it either. It turned out to be unpleasant to use and wear, causing discomfort.
