Why Centella Asiatica is a Hero Ingredient for Sensitive Skin

If you have sensitive skin, you’ve probably seen “Cica” creams everywhere. In Korean skincare, Centella Asiatica is the go-to remedy for redness, dryness, and irritation. It has been used for centuries in Asian herbal medicine and now dominates K-beauty formulas.

Benefits of Cica for sensitive skin:

  • Reduces inflammation and soothes redness.

  • Promotes skin healing and barrier recovery.

  • Provides gentle hydration without clogging pores.

Popular K-beauty brands like Dr. Jart+, COSRX, and Skin1004 feature Centella-rich products such as serums, masks, and creams. Adding just one Cica product to your routine can make sensitive skin calmer, softer, and more resilient.
