PURITO Oat-In Calming Gel Cream (100ml)

It works on the barrier from a few angles:

• 77% Oat Seed Water soothes irritation and replenishes moisture, helping the barrier stay balanced and resilient.
• Panthenol (vitamin B5) reinforces the barrier and improves the skin's ability to hold onto water.
• Squalane adds a lightweight protective layer that softens skin and reduces moisture loss.

The formula is built around a high concentration of soothing, hydrating actives:

• Oat Seed Water (77%): the base of the formula. Hydrates, calms redness, and helps rebalance sensitive or reactive skin.
• Panthenol: draws moisture into the skin and supports a stronger, healthier barrier.
• Squalane: a lightweight oil that softens texture and seals in moisture without feeling greasy.
• Beta-Glucan: deeply calming, and supports barrier repair.
• Licorice Root: helps even out skin tone and brighten dullness over time.
• Humectants (Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, 2,3-Butanediol): attract water to the skin and keep it there throughout the day.

Overall it's a lightweight moisturiser that suits sensitive, reactive, and fungal-acne-prone skin.

Yes. The formula is fungal acne safe, so it won't feed the kind of yeast on the skin that triggers breakouts. It's a good all-rounder if you're prone to fungal acne but still want a calming, barrier-supporting cream.

Yes, it's generally considered pregnancy-safe and doesn't contain restricted actives like retinoids or strong acids. That said, we always recommend checking with your midwife or GP before introducing new skincare during pregnancy, as everyone's situation is different.

Yes. It contains no added fragrance or essential oils.

Twice daily works well, morning and evening, after your cleanser, toner, and serum. If your skin feels drier than usual or during winter months, you can apply an extra layer on top.

Yes. This gel cream is formulated to be fungal acne safe, so it should be suitable if your skin is prone to it.

Both are gentle, but they suit different skin needs:

• Oat-In Calming Gel Cream: lightweight gel texture, well-suited to oily or combination skin, and specifically formulated for redness, irritation, and acne-prone or fungal-acne-prone skin.
• Mighty Bamboo Panthenol Cream: richer and creamier, great for barrier repair, but may feel heavier if your T-zone gets shiny.

If your skin leans dry or your barrier needs extra support, the Bamboo cream works well as a night option alongside this one for daytime.
