Kayman Skintella Moisturizing Gel Review

Kayman Skintella Moisturizing Gel 30ml

I get the hype, I do. 

It’s an elegant gel cream consistency, applies beautifully, sits nicely on top of my skin and I’m always in love with the finish and how my skin looks in the mirror. The finish makes it perfect to be used as the last step of my skincare routine. 

On rare occasions, I did experience a slight pilling but problem solved when I layer my products slightly differently. 

Aini, you said you have a really dry skin, is it enough for you?

Short anwer; no. 

Long answer; if I could give numbers so perhaps it will be easier for some for us to get my points; a moisturiser that is able to keep my skin well-moisturised all night is at 5 and Kayman SMG stands between 3.8 and 4.2. It actually feels better when I layer my skin with thicker hydrators beforehand. And I also found out I could actually reach the perfect 5 with layering my reliable Hada Labo Whitening Cream before seals it with this one. Considering how the Hada Labo one is more on the hydrating side, they really complete each other.

 I hope Kayman would come up with a heavier moisturiser, creamy yet leaves a similar finish to this one, also with similar skin-loving ingredients

So, what makes this moisturiser stand out in my opinion? 

Using this consistently, it knocked me over with the big realization that my skin is not naturally that VERY dry, but lacking in ingredients that I am supposed to feed my skin with. My skin actually got a LOT less dry after using this consistently, and I am happy to find that out. It’s like you thought you could never ace in certain subjects in school, but when the teacher changed, you realised that you are actually able to do a lot better than you think, and it changed how you see yourself and things, in fact you feel a lot better about everything. Like a foggy path finally gets cleared up. 

If chicken rendang is my comfort food (makan with lemang, fuhh so good), this Kayman SMG falls into the same category. Something that you will crave for at the end of the day when everything starts to overwhelm you. I’m so happy that I could finally suggest something when people ask for a quick fix for their eczema flares up and redness caused by irritation. It’s exactly the first thing that comes to my mind for a quick fix because that’s exactly what it served me. 

This Kayman SMG is amazing for barrier repair and to soothe the skin. It really stands out in its own way. 

And the last thing I shall not miss out stating here is, bila pakai tu, ada sikit rasa sejuk yang nyaman, yang terasa damai.

And one thing I don't want to miss out stating here is, this gel moisturiser also feels great to be used on the lips before seals it with thicker lip products, or simply any occlusive heavy ointment.
