Cica, or Centella Asiatica, is a plant extract valued for calming and repairing skin. Rich in asiaticoside and madecassoside, it helps reduce redness, soothe irritation, and strengthen the barrier. Those with acne-prone, sensitive, or dehydrated skin often use Cica for gentle recovery support.
Cica’s active compounds boost collagen production and microcirculation, helping heal blemishes, scars, and eczema patches. Its light hydration suits most skin types and fits easily into vegan or clean beauty routines. This ingredient connects traditional herbal care with modern skin science.
Use Cica-based products after cleansing and toning, before heavier creams or sunscreen. It layers well with Vitamin C or Niacinamide for brightening and antioxidant support. For reactive skin, avoid mixing Cica with strong acids. Finish with SPF 50 to protect the renewed barrier through the day.
