The Korean story
Centella asiatica is a leafy plant used in traditional care across Asia, including India, where it is known as gotu kola or brahmi in some regions.
In the late 2010s it became a huge trend in Korean skincare under the nickname cica. Soothing creams, toners and ampoules built around it became everyday essentials for many people.
What it does
Centella extract helps skin feel calm and comforted.
It supports the look of a more even, less flushed complexion. It pairs well with moisturising ingredients and suits routines that aim for gentle, steady care.
Who it suits
Suits sensitive, reactive and redness-prone skin.
A good choice when skin feels stressed by heat, sun or pollution. Patch test first if you have known plant sensitivities.
