tHermoCEUTICAL Premium SOS RED GEL - Redness Relief for Face, Instant Calming & Moisturizing Gel for Irritated Skin, Intensive Night Care, Light Touch Moisture Gel, 3.38 fl.oz

I have a rosy skin condition that's very reactive (I get itchy, red bumps from all sorts of products), so I can always use extra help combating redness. This has 3 fragrance ingredients: parfum, benzyl salicylate, and citronellol. When "parfum" is listed as an ingredient, I have no idea what the components are and if there is something I need to avoid. Benzyl salicylate, while having a nice floral scent, is one of the fragrance components that must specifically be listed in the EU since it's known to be more allergenic than some (the EU 26).Because of the fragrance ingredients, I've been using this on my body only where I am much less likely to have a visible reaction. It has a light, floral scent, and it's not super strong so I can tolerate it on my body. The gel itself feels cooling. It absorbs fairly quickly but does leave a faint residue, which some might not like on their face, but also seems mitigated by following with a moisturizer.Over time, the shiitake mushroom extract should help brighten skin, and Centella asiatica is one of my reactive skin's favorite ingredients. This really has a lot going for it, but I wish products that are targeted to red, sensitive, irritated skin like this left out the most common irritants like fragrance.Ingredients: Water/​Aqua, Ethoxydiglycol, Diethoxyethyl Succinate, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Propanediol, Lentinus Edodes Mycelium Extract, Ammonium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate/​VP Copolymer, Sodium Polyacryloyldimethyl Taurate, Euterpe Oleracea Fruit Extract, Allantoin, Centella Asiatica Extract, Polyacrylate Crosspolymer-6, Coceth-7, PPG-1-PEG-9 Lauryl Glycol Ether, Galactoarabinan, Wine Extract, Chamaecyparis Obtusa Leaf Extract, 1,2-Hexanediol, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Arginine, Parfum, Polygonum Cuspidatum Root Extract, Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Xylitol, Caprylic Acid, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra Root Extract, Alteromonas Ferment Extract, Caprylyl Glycol, Chamomilla Recutita Flower Extract, Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract, Benzyl ​Salicylate, Citronellol

This moisturizer is nice! It really does reduce redness and calm my skin. I developed redness in my face for the last couple of years after a rear end car accident left me with several serious injuries. At first I thought it was sunburn after doing aqua therapy outside, but it never went away. No matter what I did, it was red in the face. This moisturizer has worked to help with the redness! It's thinner than expected (so I have to be careful squeezing it from the tube) and had a light, pleasant scent. I don't use this everyday, just when I'm super red or when I'm going out in public. I am very happy with this moisturizer!

For reasons I'll never understand, my facial skin can be red and blotchy. I swear, I do all the right things- gently cleanse, moisturize, and SPF every day, but somehow, it can still be splotchy and red, particularly after a hot shower. This Premium SOS Red Gel is meant for irritated and tired skin, and is suggested to be used on sunburned skin too. thankfully, I haven't experienced a sunburn recently, but if I did, I'm not sure I'd reach for this, as there is added "perfume" in it. I have tested this gel out on many days after a shower (when my skin is at its reddest), as well as at night before bed. I find it somewhat tacky feeling, so I don't love it at night, particularly as I have to wear a CPAP mask at night. I honestly did not notice my redness abating any faster than usual. The gel does feel slightly cooling, as most gels do, but it didn't immediately or even quickly improve the redness in my face. Hopefully this works for a lot of people, but I wouldn't order this again, especially since it is not inexpensive. Korean skin care is usually a great fit for me, but this one is a miss. You'd think a skin care line meant for irritated skin would know better than to add perfume, but apparently not.

I was not impressed with this moisturizing gel. I did not see any noticeable improvement in my skin. I have extremely sensitive skin that often looks red to the point that people think that I have a mild sunburn. Although this product did not seem to further irritate my skin, it also did not make it any less red. I didn’t note any significant improvement in how my skin felt either. The gel felt slightly sticky on my skin and did not feel like it was absorbing well at all. I also was not a fan of the smell. It wasn’t an overly strong or gross odor, but it smelled like preservative ingredients.

This is a gel moisturizer that is clear and the consistency of an aloe vera gel. It does quite well to alleviate redness immediately - not working miracles but a noticeable improvement nonetheless. There is even more improvement over time. It does leave my skin a bit tacky feeling, and has a fragrance to it that's kind of botanical and medicinal smelling - it isn't bad by any means, but some people sre more sensitive ti fragrances and added perfumes in products.On another note, mine arrived open with quite a bit of product missing. The tube was also scratched up which had me worried about tampering, but upon further inspection there was half of a safety seal on the tube and inside the box had metallic flakes, so I suspect it was a glitch in manufacturing combined with a rough trip to my house.
