Key benefits
- Asiaticoside, the active this toner is built around
- Niacinamide, Adenosine, Asiatic Acid and Madecassic Acid on the same list, actives
- Alteromonas Ferment Extract and Centella Asiatica Extract further down the same list
- Polygonum Multiflorum Root Extract and Portulaca Oleracea Extract further down the same list
- Asiaticoside named thirteenth on the manufacturer list printed on this page
Key actives
5Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. The panel names it fifth on this toner's list, beside Asiaticoside.
9Adenosineactive
Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated. The panel names it ninth on this toner's list, beside Asiaticoside.
13Asiaticosideactive
Asiaticoside is one of the four active triterpenes isolated from centella and the most studied of them. Korean formulas name it separately when they want to show which fraction of the plant they standardised. The name on the box points at it, and it is named thirteenth on this toner's own ingredient list.
14Asiatic Acidactive
Asiatic Acid is the third of centella's four triterpenes and the aglycone form, meaning it has no attached sugar. It is oil soluble, so it turns up in cica creams and balms more than in watery layers. It is named fourteenth on this toner's list, alongside Asiaticoside.
15Madecassic Acidactive
Madecassic Acid is the fourth centella triterpene. A list that names all four is telling you the extract was standardised rather than simply pressed, which is the difference between a cica claim and a cica formula. It is named fifteenth on this toner's list, alongside Asiaticoside.

Where each key active sits on the declared ingredient list, by entry number. Position is proportion: the further forward, the larger its share.
Where does this toner go in my routine?
Straight after cleansing, morning and evening, while the face is still damp. Anything thinner than a toner 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 Asiaticoside and not three changes at once.
What else is on the list besides Asiaticoside?
Niacinamide, Adenosine and Asiatic Acid. The order they are printed in on this toner's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Asiaticoside sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Madecassic Acid, Alteromonas Ferment Extract and Centella Asiatica Extract.

23 of 26 explained
- Water solvent
- Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
- Centella Asiatica Extract (Gotu Kola) plant 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.
- Glycereth-26 humectant
- Glycereth-26 is a modified glycerin that hydrates with far less stickiness than glycerin itself. It is a common way to load water into a formula that has to stay light.
- Dipropylene Glycol humectant
- Dipropylene Glycol is a glycol used as a solvent and a light humectant. Its main job is keeping the rest of the formula dissolved and the texture fluid rather than adding hydration of its own.
- Niacinamide active
- Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.
- 1,2-Hexanediol humectant
- 1,2-Hexanediol is a glycol used for two reasons: it holds water like glycerin, and it makes a formula harder for microbes to live in, so less traditional preservative is needed. Korean formulas use it heavily for that second reason.
- Butylene Glycol humectant
- Butylene Glycol is a small glycol that does two jobs at once: it holds water in the top layer of skin and it dissolves plant extracts and actives that plain water cannot. It also thins a formula, which is why watery Korean essences lean on it.
- Glycerin humectant
- Glycerin is the most used humectant in skincare. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and holds it there, and it is one of the very few ingredients whose hydrating effect is settled science rather than marketing. Higher amounts feel tacky, which is why it is usually blended.
- Adenosine active
- Adenosine is a nucleoside that Korea's own cosmetic authority recognises as a wrinkle-care functional ingredient, which is why it appears on so many Korean lists at a low level. It is used for the look of fine lines and is stable and well tolerated.
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil emulsifier
- PEG-40 Hydrogenated Castor Oil is the most used solubiliser in clear toners and micellar waters. It holds small amounts of oil and fragrance in solution without turning the formula cloudy.
- Lavandula Angustifolia Oil (Lavender) fragrance component
- Lavender Oil is an essential oil carrying linalool and linalyl acetate. It scents a formula, and linalool is one of the fragrance components EU labelling requires to be named separately.
- Asiaticoside active
- Asiaticoside is one of the four active triterpenes isolated from centella and the most studied of them. Korean formulas name it separately when they want to show which fraction of the plant they standardised.

- Asiatic Acid active
- Asiatic Acid is the third of centella's four triterpenes and the aglycone form, meaning it has no attached sugar. It is oil soluble, so it turns up in cica creams and balms more than in watery layers.
- Madecassic Acid active
- Madecassic Acid is the fourth centella triterpene. A list that names all four is telling you the extract was standardised rather than simply pressed, which is the difference between a cica claim and a cica formula.
- Polygonum Multiflorum Root Extract (He Shou Wu) plant extract
- Fo-ti root extract, a long-standing East Asian herbal ingredient. It is used as a conditioning extract, most often in scalp and hair formulas.
- Portulaca Oleracea Extract (Green Purslane) plant extract
- Portulaca Oleracea is purslane. Its extract is unusually high in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants for a plant, and Korean formulas use it for the look of reddened, reactive skin.
- Leontopodium Alpinum Callus Culture Extract (Edelweiss) plant extract
- Edelweiss cells grown as a callus culture, then extracted. The alpine plant carries leontopodic acid and other polyphenols, and culture gives a consistent supply without harvesting it.
- Lonicera Japonica Flower Extract plant extract
- Honeysuckle flower extract, the geumeunhwa of Korean herbal practice. It resists microbes as well as conditioning, so it often doubles as part of a preservative system.
- Spirulina Platensis Extract plant extract
- Spirulina is a blue-green microalga, unusually high in protein. Its extract carries amino acids and the blue pigment phycocyanin, which can tint a formula.
- Ammonium Acryloyldimethyltaurate/VP Copolymer thickener
- This is a synthetic thickener that gels quickly and holds an emulsion stable across a wide pH range. It gives a light, non-tacky body.
- Disodium EDTA chelator
- EDTA is a chelator: it locks up trace metal ions from water and packaging that would otherwise turn a formula cloudy, off-colour or rancid. It does nothing to skin and appears at a fraction of a percent.
- Hydroxyacetophenone preservative booster
- Hydroxyacetophenone is an antioxidant that also strengthens a preservative system, so a formula needs less traditional preservative. Korean formulas pair it with 1,2-hexanediol constantly.
- Xylitol humectant
- Xylitol is a sugar alcohol humectant. It holds water in the outer layer of skin and is often paired with anhydroxylitol and xylitylglucoside as a hydration trio.

How it works
The Centella Cica Toner is a 150ml toner, used straight after cleansing, morning and evening, while the face is still damp. The active it is built around is Asiaticoside, named thirteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Niacinamide, Adenosine and Asiatic Acid, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Asiaticoside stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the toner format rather than by the list alone. BRTC sells this Asiaticoside toner in Korea, and this is that version.
How to use
- Pat or sweep a small amount of Centella Cica Toner 150ml across a freshly cleansed face and neck, then follow with the rest of your routine while skin is still damp.
Worth knowing
- Store away from direct sunlight and heat to keep the formula stable over its shelf life.
- Patch test on a small area first if you are new to this formula or to the brand.
