Everything you need to know about Centella Asiatica Extract
Centella Asiatica Extract (Cica) is a plant extract rich in triterpenoids such as madecassoside and asiaticoside. It is prized for helping skin look calm, comfortable and resilient, especially in sensitive and blemish-prone-skin formulas.
What are the benefits of Centella Asiatica Extract for the skin?
Centella Asiatica Extract helps calm the appearance of redness and supports the skin’s natural recovery process.
Its triterpenoid content also makes it popular in barrier-support and blemish-prone skincare.
When should you use Centella Asiatica Extract
Skincare containing Centella Asiatica Extract can be used in both morning and evening routines. Consistent use matters more than choosing a particular time of day.
Apply products from the lightest to the richest texture, finishing with moisturizer. In the morning, complete the routine with sunscreen to help protect the results of your skincare.
Is Centella Asiatica Extract suitable for sensitive skin
Centella Asiatica Extract can be used by a wide range of skin types, including sensitive skin, when formulated at an appropriate level. It does not work by exfoliating the skin.
Comfort still depends on the complete product. Perform a patch test before regular use if your skin is highly sensitive or easily reactive.
Can Centella Asiatica Extract be used with other actives?
Centella Asiatica Extract can be used in formulas with Panthenol, Allantoin, Ceramide NP, and Niacinamide. This combination does not require a special waiting period unless the product directions say otherwise.
These pairings can complement hydration, barrier care, or targeted treatment. Introduce the routine gradually if it also contains strong active ingredients.
