A limpid, almost watery gel that spreads in one gesture and leaves the skin fresh, barely satin. Purito's Wonder Releaf Centella Serum goes on morning and evening without weighing down the routine. This Unscented version, as its name says, is formulated without fragrance: it is the one to choose when the skin tightens, heats up or turns red easily.
A centella serum to soothe the skin
Centella asiatica has pride of place in the formula. Purito does not settle for the plant extract: the composition also cites its four most-studied molecules, madecassoside, asiaticoside, madecassic acid and asiatic acid. Applied to the skin, centella is mainly valued for calming the look of redness and making the skin more comfortable. The most solid data come from the laboratory; on the skin, expect a comfort effect and a calmer-looking complexion, not a transformation.
Around it, panthenol and allantoin reinforce the feeling of softness, while several peptides round off the whole. The gel texture hydrates without a film, which lets you layer a cream or sun protection straight afterwards. The brand's other products are in the Purito collection.
How to use it
After cleansing and toner, place a small amount in the palm and apply to the face and neck, patting until absorbed. Finish with your cream, and in the morning with sun protection.
- It combines with most actives: it is liked on rest evenings between two applications of retinol or exfoliant.
- After a strong active, apply it on its own, without another serum, to let the skin breathe.
- Introduce it gradually if your skin is very reactive.
Which skin is it for?
It suits sensitive skin, skin prone to redness, skin that tolerates fragrance badly and skin weakened by cold, sun or an overloaded routine. Oily skin appreciates its non-greasy texture; dry skin will complement it with a richer cream. Avoid applying it to broken skin. The soothing and sensitive skin selection gathers other gentle products.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference from the scented version?
The principle is the same, based on centella. The Unscented version is formulated without fragrance, which makes it more suitable for skin that reacts to fragrances.
Can it be used with retinol?
Yes. Apply the serum before the retinol for more comfort, or keep it for evenings without retinol.
Is it hydrating enough on its own?
For oily skin in summer, sometimes. Most skin needs a cream on top to hold in the hydration.
How long does a 60 ml bottle last?
It is a large size for a serum. As a small amount is enough, it lasts many weeks of routine, even morning and evening.
Is it suitable for acne-prone skin?
Its gel texture does not weigh the skin down and it helps calm the look of redness. It does not replace a targeted product for blemishes.
