Payot Gray Paste Special 5 Cica Drying Gel is a targeted, purifying and soothing spot gel for blemishes. Enriched with centella asiatica, it helps dry out a spot and fade the look of post-blemish marks. Its light gel forms a protective film around the spot. Use it alongside the Gray Paste Original spot care, morning and evening after your moisturizer. It comes in a 15ml tube. Payot designed it for occasional use whenever a spot appears.

Key Benefits

  • Targeted care: a local gel applied only to the spot.
  • Protective film: the light gel forms a film around the spot to protect it.
  • Fewer visible marks: centella asiatica helps fade the look of post-blemish marks.
  • Balanced skin: probiotics help restore the balance of the skin flora.
  • Non-comedogenic: tested under dermatological supervision.

Key Ingredients

Centella asiatica extract helps comfort the skin and fade marks, meadowsweet extract and probiotics support the skin flora, and glycolic and lactic acids help refine the skin surface.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist before using Payot Gray Paste Special 5 Cica Drying Gel during pregnancy or breastfeeding.

What does centella asiatica do in Payot Gray Paste Special 5 Cica Drying Gel?

Payot added centella asiatica, a plant active known for comforting the skin, to help fade the look of post-blemish marks. It is combined with meadowsweet, probiotics and glycolic and lactic acids. Ask your pharmacist if in doubt.

Can I apply makeup over Payot Gray Paste Special 5 Cica Drying Gel?
