FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
What is Centella Asiatica (CICA) and what are its primary properties for the skin?
Centella Asiatica (CICA) supplies the skin with highly concentrated fractions of asiaticoside and madecassoside. It supports collagen fiber synthesis, seals the intercellular matrix, and calms micro-inflammation. On the skin's surface, it reduces redness, accelerates minor damage repair, and significantly increases the thickness and density of the hydrolipidic barrier, lowering transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
When is it especially beneficial to use Centella Asiatica (CICA) products in a skincare routine?
Products with Centella Asiatica are especially beneficial when the epidermis is in a state of high reactivity, showing visible redness and a compromised natural defense barrier. CICA acts as a strategic ingredient that shields the epidermis during the application of active forms of vitamin A, such as retinal, or following intensive use of AHA and BHA acids.
Which skin types are Centella Asiatica products recommended for?
Centella Asiatica extract is recommended for virtually every skin type. It is particularly ideal for reactive, sensitive skin prone to irritation and redness, including couperose complexions. The line is also recommended for oily and combination skin prone to blemishes, as well as mature, dry, and dehydrated skin. It is a essential addition for anyone introducing potent active ingredients into their routine.
