Key actives
Madecassosideactive
Madecassoside is the centella triterpene most associated with the look of redness, and the one brands lead with in cica products. It is water soluble and stable, so it appears in essences as readily as in creams. The name on the box points at it, and it is named twenty-first on this cream's own ingredient list.
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. The panel names it tenth on this cream's list, beside Madecassoside.
Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Extractplant extract
Tea Tree Leaf Extract is the water-based extract rather than the essential oil, so it is far milder and much less aromatic. It is used in formulas for blemish-prone skin. It is named second on this cream's list, alongside Madecassoside.
Centella Asiatica Extractplant extract
Centella Asiatica is the plant behind the whole cica category, sold as gotu kola or Madagascar centella. Its extract is the anchor of Korean formulas built for easily reddened skin, and its work is done by four triterpenes: asiaticoside, madecassoside, asiatic acid and madecassic acid. The panel names it third on this cream's list, beside Madecassoside.
Squalaneemollient
Squalane is the stable, saturated version of squalene, a lipid human skin already makes. It is a light emollient that absorbs quickly, does not oxidise, and is one of the few oils widely considered safe for blemish-prone skin. It is named fifth on this cream's list, alongside Madecassoside.
How to use
- Use it as the moisturizer step, as the last skincare step, morning and evening, ahead of sunscreen in the morning.
Where does this cream go in my routine?
As the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. Anything thinner than a cream goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Madecassoside and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market cream or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Madecassoside and all. We match this cream to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Madecassoside?
Niacinamide, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Extract and Centella Asiatica Extract. The order they are printed in on this cream's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Madecassoside sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Squalane and Honey Extract.

How it works
The Tea Tree Cica Soothing Cream Plus is a 100ml cream, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The active it is built around is Madecassoside, named twenty-first on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Niacinamide, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Extract and Centella Asiatica Extract, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Madecassoside stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the cream format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the cream BRINGGREEN sells in Korea, Madecassoside and all.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on the inner arm before a first full-face application, as with any new skincare product.
- Introduce it into a routine one product at a time so any reaction can be traced to the right cause.
