Cica cream is a soothing moisturizer made with Centella asiatica (gotu kola or tiger grass). It calms redness, supports collagen, and strengthens the skin’s barrier. Suitable for sensitive, oily, or acne-prone skin, cica has become a key step in clean beauty routines across India. Many vegan, paraben-free options combine CICA with niacinamide or hyaluronic acid for balanced hydration.
These products usually range from Rs.395 to Rs.749 and are available through official brand stores and clean beauty retailers. They fit easily into vegan skincare routines in India.
CICA contains asiaticoside and madecassoside, compounds that support healing and barrier strength. Dermatologists recommend it for redness and post-breakout marks. Used daily after cleansing and toning, cica cream maintains hydration and reduces irritation. Gel textures suit oily skin; richer creams comfort dryness or help overnight repair.
Cica layers well with hyaluronic acid or niacinamide. Avoid using it alongside strong exfoliating acids on the same night to limit sensitivity. A simple routine: gentle face wash, hydrating toner, and cica cream for steady barrier care. This ingredient’s calm, balanced results make it a clean skincare staple.
