What is Dr. Grandel Puricode Purifying Cream Gel?
Dr. Grandel Puricode Purifying Cream Gel is a daily moisturizer for oily skin with blemishes. Many creams leave this skin type shiny by midday, so the brand chose a light gel-cream texture instead. Its base relies on barley seed flour, corn starch, guar gum and carrageenan rather than rich plant oils. In addition, Dr. Grandel promises an instant matte effect.
The cream gel also leaves skin feeling refreshed and relaxed. Because it works as a 24-hour care, you can use it both morning and evening.
Key benefits
- Instant matte finish: the texture takes down shine as soon as you apply it.
- Less excess oil over time: the formula also works to counter excess sebum production.
- Clearer-looking skin: its botanical complex supports microbiome balance and, in addition, helps counter the look of blemishes.
- Light hydration: glycerin and saccharide isomerate keep skin comfortable while the finish stays matte.
Key ingredients
The formula centers on what Dr. Grandel calls its Clear Skin Tri-Complex. This blend combines manuka (Leptospermum scoparium) branch and leaf oil with magnolia bark and black pepper seed extracts. According to the brand, the trio gives a soothing, protective effect. It also helps keep the skin’s microbiome in balance.
In addition, cherimoya fruit extract helps skin cope with everyday stressors and calms the look of redness. Two lotus flower extracts, Nelumbo nucifera and the blue lotus Nymphaea coerulea, then add a mattifying, refining effect. Finally, glycerin and propanediol carry the moisture, while tocopherol adds antioxidant support. The cream gel also contains fragrance.
How to use Dr. Grandel Puricode Purifying Cream Gel
- Start by cleansing the face, neck and décolleté.
- Then smooth the cream gel evenly over the same areas.
- Repeat morning and evening, because the formula works as a 24-hour care.
Keep the cream gel away from the eyes, since it is for external use only.
Who is Dr. Grandel Puricode Purifying Cream Gel for?
The brand lists the cream gel for oily skin and for oily-type combination skin (oleosa). It also classes the product as unisex. In short, it suits anyone whose T-zone shines during the day but who still wants a moisturizer.
However, blemish-prone skin that feels dry or tight may prefer a richer texture. For that skin, the Puricode range offers the Purifying Cream instead. Unlike the cream gel, it has a richer base of plant oils and squalane.
Retail size vs. professional size
This is the 50 ml retail tube, sized for morning-and-evening home use. The brand lists the cream gel only in this size. So for a larger back-bar jar, look to the Puricode Purifying Cream instead. It also comes in a 125 ml professional size.
