Back with another review for acne treatments! I love acne treatments and I try lots of them, alternate about to see which heals my blemishes most effectively. Wishtrend was kind enough to send me one to try, I managed to do a first impression review within the first two weeks on my IG to hit the review deadline. Now, I am going to do a more detailed post on it.
What is it
The Teca 1% Barrier Cream creates a protective layer to keep moisture and active ingredients
within the skin while strengthening, calming, and improving the skin’s overall health.
Contains Centella asiatica to help regenerate the skin. Helps restore damaged and weakened skin barrier.
Ingredient list:
Water, Dipropylene Glycol, Glyceryl Stearate SE, Cetearyl Alcohol, Dimethicone, PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Cyclopentasiloxane, Ethyl Hexanediol, Cyclohexasiloxane, Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid, Asiatic Acid, Tromethamine, Carbomer, Xanthan Gum, Glyceryl Caprylate, Allantoin, Disodium EDTA
Notable ingredients:
Centella asiatica extract (Asiaticoside, asiactic acid, madecassic acid)
Rich in amino acids, beta carotene, fatty acids, and phytochemicals.
Improves circulation, collagen and skin tissue.
Boosts antioxidant activity, strengthens skin.
Allantoin (Good for Oily & Sensitive Skin)
Skin Conditioning, Skin Protecting, Soothing.
Comes in a tube packaging which is more hygienic.
There was a silver foil at the tip prior to opening.
It leaves a silicon residue behind. If silicon clogs your pores or break you out, this product might not be for you. However, it works great on my badly flaky, dried out pimple since moisture can be better retained.
No stain left behind. Matt, colorless.
Does it does what it claims?
Claim 1: Helps regenerate damaged skin due to collagen synthesis.
Helps to heal acne. I only used it once a day - at night so the results was not as fast.
Claim 2: Prevents acne scars, lightens pigmentation.
On this, I don't feel it helps to lighten my pigmentation. It helps to heal and soothe, but not in reducing acne scarrings.
Summary of product:
| Packaging |
~ A dark, opaque tube packaging. I prefer tube over tubs as they would not get contaminated easily.
| Smell |
| Smell |
~ Nothing too strong, a medicinal scent.
| Color? |
~ White, silicon feel.
| Pros |
~ Helps in preventing flaky pimples. Other spots treatment can be very drying since it's to dry out pimples to heal it faster. Upon using this, my make up wouldn't get stuck and flake off on the pimples.
~ Scent was not funky, smells medicinal.
~ Hygienic packaging.

| Cons |
~ Contains sillicon which may clog pores, so be careful. Spot treating should be relatively safe, if it's not applying over the entire face. Results may differ with different skin types.
~ Pricey.

| Thoughts |
If you face pimples that are always drying up and makeup is not applying on properly, this seems to be a good option to try out. I need to be transparent that the product has a few higher comedogenic ratings which is not so suitable for oilier skintypes. It's a perfect product for all skin types as claimed but for me, a drier and sensitive skin type would love this more.
