Centella asiatica is increasingly recommended for exactly this — and for good reason.

What is Centella asiatica

Centella asiatica (Cica) calms redness, strengthens the barrier and speeds healing.

How Centella asiatica helps for wrinkles

Wrinkles form as collagen and elastin decline and photo-damage accumulates. Centella asiatica approaches the problem from a different angle: centella asiatica (Cica) calms redness, strengthens the barrier and speeds healing. As a result, used consistently, it gently improves the skin for wrinkles.

How to use it

  • Cleanse with a gentle, non-stripping product.
  • Apply centella asiatica to dry skin, starting 2–3 times a week.
  • Seal with a moisturiser to support the barrier.
  • Always use SPF 30+ in the morning.

Precautions

Suits sensitive, reactive and compromised skin. Daily SPF is the single most effective anti-ageing habit.
