What is Centella asiatica

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

How Centella asiatica helps for fine lines

Fine lines are often linked to dehydration and an early drop in collagen. 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 fine lines.

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. Hydration visibly softens them almost immediately.
