sidmool Madagascar sebum moisture cream

What is this product?

A Korean gel cream for oily skin from sidmool's Madagascar line, an 80 g tube sold on the brand's own storefront. Centella asiatica leaf water leads the 19 entry list at a printed 74 percent, and madecassoside, madecassic acid, asiaticoside and asiatic acid follow at 8 to 11. Two volatile silicones and a silica powder give the oil controlling, matte finish the brand sells; the brand notes the powder may be felt as fine particles and can slightly irritate some skin. The emulsion is an olive derived ester pair with no plant oil, butter or fatty alcohol. There is no fragrance, essential oil, drying alcohol or exfoliating acid; the two acid entries are centella triterpenes. The brand shows a 2025 acne prone skin suitability study on 20 women naming this cream, with result figures too small to read. A pH of about 5.7 and an irritation test badge are printed without method or result. No lived use reports were collected.

What makes it different?

Within its brand, this cream pairs a centella leaf water base at a printed 74 percent with the volatile silicone and silica finish of an oil control moisturiser. The four centella entries are shared with the brand's houttuynia cica gel and other cica records, and the silicone and silica system with its mild lotion, so the combination rather than either part is what this record shows. The trade-offs: no level is printed beyond the lead water, the acne prone skin study's results could not be read, and the irritation, pH, pregnancy and animal free badges have no printed support.
