Collection: Centella Asiatica (Cica)

Centella Asiatica is a plant native to Asia and an ingredient widely used in Korean skincare. Also known as "tiger grass," this plant is known to support skin renewal and to have a soothing effect.

It strengthens the skin barrier, helping it become more resilient against external factors. It soothes sensitive and irritated skin, reducing redness and sensitivity. Thanks to its intense moisturizing properties, it prevents water loss and helps skin look plumper and healthier. It helps fight acne marks and spots and contributes to a more even skin tone. With its antioxidant effect, it offers protection against free radicals and may delay signs of aging.

The soothing and repairing effects of Centella Asiatica are especially ideal for sensitive, redness-prone and dry skin. However, oily and acne-prone skin can also benefit from this ingredient. Products with Centella Asiatica help soften the look of acne marks and calm the skin.

Sensitive and Dry Skin: Delivers intense hydration and reduces the look of redness.
Oily and Acne-Prone Skin: Soothes the skin and supports the healing of marks after breakouts.
Mature Skin: Protects the skin from external factors with its antioxidant effect, giving it a healthier look.

In daily life, air pollution, stress and UV rays can weaken the skin barrier and cause sensitivity. Care products with Cica soothe the skin, support barrier function and help it become more resilient to environmental factors. Formulas enriched with Centella Asiatica in particular contribute to skin repair and offer a healthier look.

Among the standout products with Centella Asiatica are the Cica Serum with anti-redness and barrier-repairing effects for sensitive skin and the moisturizing, antioxidant Cleansing Balm for sensitive and dry skin.

The two products are used differently: the cleansing balm is applied to dry skin and rinsed off, while the cica serum is applied to cleansed skin and left on. According to the label, the steps for the balm are:

1. Take a sufficient amount of balm into your dry hands.
2. Apply it to your dry skin with gentle motions, including the eye area.
3. Rinse off thoroughly with water when you have finished cleansing. With heavy makeup, you can repeat this step.
4. If you wish, follow with a water-based cleanser suited to your skin type.

The Anti-Redness and Barrier Repair Cica Serum for Sensitive Skin is applied in a few drops in your day or night routine after cleansing and is not rinsed off. During periods of intense redness or a weakened barrier, the label recommends using the serum twice a day, morning and evening. The serum is suitable for the face area; avoid contact with the eyes and do not expose the bottle to direct sunlight.

The cleansing balm belongs to the cleansing step of the routine. Because it dissolves makeup, sunscreen and excess oil residue, it is especially useful as the first step of your evening routine. According to its label, it can be used as the first stage of a double cleanse and is suitable for daily use. Centella Asiatica Extract is listed in the balm's ingredients.

The cica serum, on the other hand, belongs to the care step after cleansing. If you use a toner, apply the serum after the toner and before your moisturizer; finish your morning routine with sunscreen. The serum's ingredients list includes madecassic acid, asiaticoside and asiatic acid derived from the centella asiatica plant. This way, cica can enter your routine in both the cleansing and the care step.

Soothing & Smoothing Cica Serum is developed for sensitive and redness-prone skin and offers the soothing and repairing effects of Centella Asiatica. It strengthens the skin barrier, protects against environmental factors and helps reduce the look of redness. With regular use, it calms the skin and gives it a more balanced, healthier look.

Antioxidant Facial Cleansing Balm offers a gentle cleanse for sensitive and dry skin. While clearing away makeup residue and dirt, it protects and soothes the skin barrier with Centella Asiatica. Thanks to its antioxidant content, it supports skin renewal and gives a healthy, radiant look.

Moisturizing and Antioxidant Cleansing Balm for Sensitive and Dry Skin requires your hands and face to be dry. Take a sufficient amount of product into your dry hands and spread it gently over your face, including the eye area. Rinse off thoroughly with water when cleansing is complete. To remove heavy makeup, you can repeat the application. If you do a double cleanse, follow the balm, once rinsed, with a water-based cleanser suited to your skin. The product is suitable for daily use.

Anti-Redness and Barrier Repair Cica Serum for Sensitive Skin is applied after cleansing is complete. Spread a few drops of serum over your face; do not rinse after application. It can be used in your morning or evening routine. The product instructions recommend using it twice a day, morning and evening, for care aimed at the look of redness and for barrier support. Avoid contact with the eyes. Test it on a small area before first use; stop use if sensitivity develops.

The place of products containing Cica in the routine is determined by the product's form and function. The cleansing balm belongs to the cleansing step of the routine. In the evening especially, it can be used as the first step to remove makeup and sunscreen residue. In a double cleanse, the balm is followed by a water-based cleanser; both products are rinsed off the skin.

The cica serum is applied in the care step after cleansing is complete. You can then move on to your moisturizer; the daytime routine is completed with sunscreen. This way, the balm's cleansing function and the serum's leave-on care function complement each other in different steps of the routine. The serum should not be applied over unrinsed cleansing balm.
