Centifolia's journey started in 1983, driven by an unchanging passion and vision: a deep love for plants and the incredible benefits they offer. The brand found its inspiration in the extraordinary vitality of 'extreme' plants—those that thrive, bloom, and flourish even in the most challenging conditions. Centifolia views plants as living entities that secrete potent active ingredients, believing these powerful compounds can be harnessed for our skin to address similar needs. So, I decided to put some of the brand's products to the test and share my honest opinion with you.
As you know, for a few years now, I've decided to change my beauty routine. From now on, I'm committed to finding products that respect the planet, animals, and especially my skin. That's why I'm now turning to products that are paraben-free, sulfate-free, and not tested on animals. It was then quite natural for me to become interested in the Centifolia brand. Because a different kind of cosmetic is possible, the Centifolia research center formulates respectful, effective, and sensorial products thanks to a unique approach, based on a deep knowledge of plants and their secrets. The cosmetic brand selects natural cosmetic active ingredients derived from research and favors extraction methods that restore nature's treasures while preserving their active properties. The formulas contain up to 100% natural ingredients and up to 100% organic ingredients. The fragrances are 100% natural.
THE MOISTURIZING CREAM
Overall, Centifolia products are very pleasant to use. Their fragrances should please your whole family as they are literally irresistible. The moisturizing cream is suitable for the whole family: it deeply hydrates and nourishes the skin. I tested it on the whole family; it's fluid and absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy film. Obviously, this will depend on your skin type. If you already have oily skin, you'll need to use it in moderation. However, for dry skin, it's a real beauty secret to regain hydration and softness.
THE CONDITIONER
If, like me, you were captivated by the cream's scent, you'll completely succumb to the conditioner's fragrance. It's absolutely divine. I couldn't help but sniff the bottle for a good while before using it. To top it all off, this scent lingers on your hair for quite some time. Enough to make you feel fresh all day long! The only minor drawback is that, unlike a specific product for coily hair, my hair isn't as soft after use. However, it does its job: my hair detangles easily. I still think it's more suitable for Caucasian hair types.
THE SHOWER GEL
The neutral shower gel is ideal for allergy-prone skin. I had my 4-year-old son test it; depending on the products I buy, he gets allergic reactions from the first use. So, it's important to me to find products suitable for his skin. The Centifolia brand shower gel is free of any ingredients likely to irritate him. I am completely satisfied, and so is my little one! Moreover, it also perfectly fulfills its primary mission: to cleanse!
THE REGULATING FLUID
I apply the regulating fluid to my face in the morning. It's a great boost to give you energy throughout the day. Always with a delightful fragrance, it doesn't leave a greasy layer on the skin; quite the opposite! It regulates sebum and allows my skin to stay hydrated all day long. I was a bit worried about the result at first because, as you know, I'm coming out of a period of significant breakouts (see my video: my fight against acne). My biggest fear was seeing my imperfections reappear with this type of cream. However, I assure you that you can go for it with your eyes closed: the regulating fluid doesn't make your skin oily but hydrates it, mattifies it, and has an anti-shine action. To top it all off, the fluid smooths your skin and tightens pores.
