Centella Asiatica

Soothing Agent • Cica / Tiger Grass / Gotu Kola

Core Benefits

  • Dramatically reduces redness
  • Speeds up physical wound healing
  • Boosts native collagen production

What exactly is it?

Centella Asiatica is an ancient medicinal herb heavily popularized by Korean skincare (known colloquially as “Cica”). Its active compounds (madecassoside, asiaticoside) are clinically proven to drastically accelerate wound healing and slash severe inflammatory skin responses.

How it helps Teen Skin

Teen acne is ultimately an inflammatory disease. Picking or popping pimples creates raw open wounds that take weeks to heal. Centella Asiatica immediately cools the red, angry inflammation, and physically signals the skin to heal the popped pimple wound faster, significantly lowering the chance of a permanent physical scar.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is it called Tiger Grass?

According to ancient Asian folklore, wild tigers were observed rolling heavily in patches of Centella Asiatica to heal their physical wounds after brutal battles in the jungle. Science later confirmed the herb's massive wound-healing properties.

Can Centella Asiatica clog my pores?

No. The active extracts of the plant are incredibly lightweight and purely water-soluble. It is non-comedogenic and universally excellent for oily, acne-prone teenagers.
