I tried a mini jar sample that came with the beauty magazine "VOCE." It's a white, firm-textured cream with a subtle herbal scent. When I used it on my sensitive skin before my period, it caused some irritation (a stinging sensation). It absorbs well into my skin. This is the first time I've tried Recalca, and I had the impression that it was a skincare cosmetic popular with older people, but it might not be right for me.
I used the sample size that came with a magazine. It has a soft, balm-like texture and spreads fairly well. Just when I thought it would spread, it seemed to stop spreading. The moisturizing power may be a little lacking for dry skin, especially with the temperature and humidity, but it's sufficient from spring to fall. The finish isn't shiny, more like a semi-matte finish. I'm not sure if it's because of that, but my makeup didn't fall into my pores. I was grateful for this, as almost everything I use these days falls into my pores immediately after applying primer or foundation. It does reduce the shine a little. I think it's better as a day cream than a night cream, but it's a bit pricey.
I've been using this brand's cleanser and felt like my skin tone had brightened, so I decided to try the cream for the first time. The results were even better than I expected! First of all, even a small amount spreads well and isn't too sticky, which is great, and the scent is natural. And the next morning, I was honestly surprised at how supple and bright my skin was, so I thought, "Good stuff is good!"
It's not heavy and has just the right amount of moisture, making it comfortable to use. The natural citrus-like scent is also soothing. Tranexamic acid is said to be good for whitening, so I'm looking forward to seeing changes in my skin as I continue to use it.
I'll write down my impressions as a memo. I use it three times a week after Environ's Sequence Stoner and Sequence Serum. It's a firm cream with a slightly oily texture. Surprisingly, it's not sticky at all. It has a subtle citrus scent. I don't feel too dry using just the Sequence Serum and this cream. It works well with any skincare product and doesn't leave any crumbly residue. My skin felt good the next morning, but I haven't seen any dramatic changes yet. I also feel like it's a little pricey.
