My Honest Experience with the Cicalfate+ Cream
Just so you know my skin type first
I have dry to sensitive, acne-prone skin, so finding the right products is always a bit of a challenge for me.
I picked up this Cicalfate+ cream yesterday and decided to try it out in the afternoon. I went through my usual routine, cleansed my face, applied my HA serum, followed by my moisturizer, and then after a couple of minutes, I layered this cream on top.
The moment I started spreading it across my face, it began pilling almost immediately. It was balling up and coming off my skin, which was frustrating, but I left it alone thinking it would settle down on its own. Then I applied my sunscreen over it, but even after that, the pilling continued. I just decided to leave it and hope for the best.
Fast forward about 6 hours
I headed to the gym in the evening. After my 20-minute run, I was sweating and casually glanced at myself in the mirror... and I was mortified. My face was completely white. Not a subtle cast, I mean full-on white, like I had applied a thick foundation and it had separated from sweating. There were even white streaky lines running down my face from where the sweat had dripped.
I was so embarrassed. I immediately went and washed my face with plain water.
