Food4Skin 19 : Centellian 24 Madeca Cream and Madeca Derma Mask II (SPONSORED)

Hey guys!

This post is way overdue, and i don't know why i keep on postponing it - maybe i want to exclusively enjoy these products myself because i TRULY love them and now i am ready to announce my undying love for them *LOL*.

Behold : the magicest cream and sheet mask above all : Centellian 24 Madeca Cream and Madeca Derma Mask II !

Centellian 24 Madeca Cream and Madeca Derma Mask II

So Centellian 24 is a South Korean skin care brand that specialized in Centella Asiatica based products - you know i am a fanatic to centella asiatica now, every single product using this ingredient is a huge hit for me and my skin (and hunny's too!), and every single new one that i try is better than the previous FML. I hope y'all don't think i'm over hyping coz i am sponsored or anything, i just.. Truly and madly in love with Centella Asiatica skincares (please note that every skin is different, Olin isn't particularly fond of Centella Asiatica based products while it's like an instant magic ingredient for mine). I can honestly say now that this cream and mask from Centellian 24 is the best so far. If i loved the M+ Madecassoside Cica Cream, i am CRAZY for this one - i will explain the difference later and why i am using both.

Centellian 24 is called that because it is aimed at 24 year old female skin (OMG :)), i am 12 years too old but it works so well on my 36 year old skin so well, what can i say?) and keeps your skin moisturized for 4 hours. Centellian 24 is made by Dongkuk Pharmaceutical alongside their other brands like Madeca 21, Madeca Derma, Teratox and May Always.

A bit more about Centellian 24 : 

When i read this i was a bit confused, is the Madeca Cream meant to be used like a moisturizer or as spot treatment? Do i did a bit of research online and found out it can be used as both - so i use it all over my face every night and add thicker layer on spots and acnes

Yes, let's talk about the cream first :

Centellian 24 Madeca Cream - Available in 15 and 50 ml (also available in bundle with the mask - which i am highly recommending as they work so wonderfully together) 

It has a simple and pharmaceutical looking design and packaging dominated by Centellian 24's signature color : white, red and black. The cream comes in a box.

As most South Korean products, all the info are in Korean

The actual cream comes in a white tube that looks like an ointment, oh yeah mine is the 50ml one

The texture is actually quite light, like a hybrid between gel and lotion and it's not very creamy

Who are supposed to use this cream? According to them, if you have any of these problems then you are the right person to use it : 

Although i personally think that it can be beneficial for all skin as i don't have a lot of acne problem, no freckles and very minimal wrinkles but i personally have seen a LOT of (overnight) improvement by using it - and so does my hunny who has dry, sensitive skin! But remember, not everything that work so well on our skin will be 100% great for you too, but based on our experience i am confident to recommend this product to most skin type

Although the cream is quite light, it is very rich as it leaves my skin quite greasy - nothing crazy or major, but enough for me not to want to use it during day time and definitely not under makeup as i have oily skin. This and my natural sebum, my makeup will melt off under and hour no no no, i do use it as spot treatment any time of the day tho. I actually have greasy feeling on my skin, but as the result is so amazing, i actually don't mind using this every night now haha.

I see improvement and positive effect after ONE use, my skin feels so much more smoother, acne free (but please note that i don't have an acne prone skin in the first place, but it's even more clearer after using this) , tighter and brighter. After using it diligently for weeks, my skin is in its best condition in a long while and i am absolutely besotted hehe. 

If you read my review on M+ Madecassoside Cica Cream you'w know that my skin reacts really well with this cream too and i see improvements within days - but Centellian 34 Madeca Cream is like M+ on steroid *LOL*, the improvement is pretty much instantaneous and it keeps on improving the longer i use it. 

BUT i am personally going to keep using BOTH creams because as much as i love this Madeca Cream, i already mentioned that i cannot use it during day time as it is not very comfortable for my naturally oily skin (while the M+ one is still fine) so i will stick to M+ for day time and use the Madeca Cream every night. Maybe if you have a very dry, dehydrated skin then you can use it during day time and under your makeup too, but i really cannot comment on that as i have the opposite skin type and can only be using it maximally and comfortably at night.

This cream feels soothing on my skin but on areas with acne and skin imperfection, i do feel it tingles and makes my skin feels tender for a little while. As an acne treatment, it's superb too! It calms my zits down super fast, dry them out and repair my skin twice as fast if not more compared to my other acne treatments. And like M+, this product is actually good for dry skin too (especially if you have acne AND dry skin! Finding the right cream can be a nightmare, and i am honestly highly recommend you to try this) as it hydrate my hunny's skin deeply and doesn't dry out his skin at all.

The cream does come in 2 sizes, 15 ml (only IDR 182.000 on my Charis Shop!) and 50ml (IDR 348,000), which one i recommend? Without hesitation i would say save your money and get the 50ml one as it will last you a while and your skin will thank me *LOL*, but if you do have very limited budget, still want to try it out or only want to use it as a spot treatment then i guess the 15 ml one is okay too although my kiasu heart is screaming at you haha.

Now let's move on to the only mask sheet that makes me fall head over heels in love :

Centellian 24 Madeca Derma Mask II - a box of 10 for IDR 287,000 

The masks comes in a cardboard box with similar design as the cream

But unlike the cream, the mask actually comes with English info and instruction

FYI, i have one left by now and i am crying... But i am going to repurchase with my own money for sure, and that's a first for sheet masks. That's how much i love it

Yeah well, they say to save it for the most needed moments, i can't. I love it so much i want to use it at least twice a week zzz

The sheet is pretty standard, thick enough for it not to tear easily, but super soft and gentle to the skin

As the concept is pretty similar to M+, i cannot help but compare the two. While i do love the M+ cream, i wasn't a fan of the sheet mask as they were way too rich, too sticky, too greasy and it actually gives me white heads from being too rich. On the contrary, this Madeca Derma Mask II has just enough serum (the left over in the pack is enough to apply on my arms and legs without being too much) and it feels super comforting on my skin - but beware that if your skin is acting up like mine during allergy attacks, it can make your skin feels a but warm, tingling and tender for a little bit - it also can be felt on each acne! But for me apparently it's a sign that the product is working to repair and improve my skin as my skin is immediately improved after use, even allergy flares are soothe a bit afterwards!

It leaves my skin soft and silky without it being too greasy (yes, it's still a bit greasy like how all sheet mask feels ofc) to a point where i have to rinse off (like the M+ one) and i just LOVE how it makes my skin look and feel. Whenever i have allergy attacks that leaves my skin with dry spots or when PMS brings hormonal acne, the first thing i want to do is slap this mask sheet on as i know it will make my skin better immediately! 

If you don't know yet, i am not a fan of sheet masks. I much prefer peel off/wash off mask as i find application of sheet mask is tedious and bothersome, i also have peeling the mask off and trying to fit it into my face, i have how most of them makes me feel sticky afterwards - i am just not a fan in general - but i have tried a LOT of sheet masks i feel pretty much the same about them, none of them successfully make me a convert and none of them makes me want to spend my own money on them - until this one. As much as i hate the process, i crave the result so much i am willing to put it on twice a week. I actually used only one or two on hunny then i decided i want them all for me so i put on a different mask on him instead *LOL*, it works super well on his skin too but he can benefit from other masks while i struggle to find one that i love so all Madeca Derma Mask II are for me!!!

If you have any skin problems like acne, allergies, dry spots and dehydration, i would highly HIGHLY recommend this mask to try. I would actually recommend both the cream and the mask for maximum result! The cream and mask are available as a package too : IDR 453,000 for 15ml cream + 10 sheet masks or IDR 733,000 for 50ml cream + 10 sheet masks! Remember your can only get these special prices at my Charis Shop okay ^^!

For me it is the best sheet mask in the world!
