Centella asiatica
Also known as cica, gotu kola, tiger grass
Comedogenic rating 1/5
A creeping Apiaceae herb used in Korean and Ayurvedic medicine; the extract is rich in triterpenes.
Why it matters
Calms visible redness and supports barrier repair. Madecassoside and asiaticoside are the fractions labs actually standardise.\n\nUseful after retinoids, acids, or a week of bad decisions.
Cautions
Patch-test if you react to other Apiaceae plants. Not a substitute for a steroid on diagnosed dermatitis.
