Centella and cica care: soothing sensitive skin, buy centella extract

If your skin often turns red or reacts to cold weather and new products, you have probably seen the word cica on the shelves. That is what Korean brands call care with centella asiatica. The main question buyers ask is whether it really soothes and which form to choose.

What centella asiatica does

The plant contains triterpenoids, including asiaticoside and madecassoside. In cosmetics, centella helps calm the skin, ease discomfort and support its natural recovery after harsh treatments. That is why cica creams are so popular in autumn and winter.

Which form of extract to choose

For water-based gels and toners, HerbEx Centella extract is convenient, while balms and creams with an oil phase are better served by oil-based centella extract. Both pair easily with panthenol and ceramides.

Centella works especially well alongside barrier care, which we covered in our article on the damaged skin barrier. For sensitive skin that also looks dull, take a look at snail mucin.
