d'Alba Daily Mild Cica Calming Pad 165ml (50ea)
Daily Mild Cica Calming Pad is d'Alba's toner pad (50ea), built around Betaine Salicylate and Centella Asiatica Extract. It is used right after cleansing, to rebalance the skin and prep it for the next step. This is the same formula Korean shoppers buy off the shelf in Seoul, not a version built for US retail.

How it works
The Daily Mild Cica Calming Pad is a 50ea product. The plant extract it is built around is Centella Asiatica Extract, named thirteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Gluconolactone, Tuber Magnatum Extract and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, so the plant extract is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Centella Asiatica Extract stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the product format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the product d'Alba sells in Korea, Centella Asiatica Extract and all.

Key actives
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. It is the entry this product is named after, and the list carries it.
Gluconolactoneexfoliant
Gluconolactone is a PHA, the gentlest exfoliant class. The panel names it twelfth on this product's list, beside Centella Asiatica Extract.
Tuber Magnatum Extractplant extract
White truffle extract. It carries amino acids, sterols and polysaccharides and is used as a conditioning extract. The panel names it seventh on this product's list, beside Centella Asiatica Extract.
Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extractplant extract
Camellia Sinensis is the tea plant. Green tea leaf extract carries catechins, among the most studied plant antioxidants, and is used for the look of redness and oily shine. It is named fourteenth on this product's list, alongside Centella Asiatica Extract.
Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extractplant extract
Aloe Leaf Extract is mostly water with polysaccharides, amino acids and mild plant acids. It hydrates and leaves a light, cooling film, which is why it is the default after-sun ingredient. The panel names it fifteenth on this product's list, beside Centella Asiatica Extract.
Is this the Korean-market product or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Centella Asiatica Extract and all. We match this product to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
Does this product contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Salicylate and Fragrance. They sit on the panel printed on this page, so you can read the position for yourself before you buy. If fragrance components are something you avoid, this product is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Centella Asiatica Extract?
Gluconolactone, Tuber Magnatum Extract and Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract. The order they are printed in on this product's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Centella Asiatica Extract sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Houttuynia Cordata Extract and Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Extract.

How to use
- Take one pad after cleansing and sweep it outward across the forehead, cheeks, nose and chin.
- Turn the pad over and press the wetter side onto anywhere that feels tight or looks flushed.
- Lay the pad flat on one area for three to five minutes when you want a short local mask instead of a wipe.
- Do not scrub with the pad or reuse a dry one on another day, since the liquid is the active part of it.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this product on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Centella Asiatica Extract on the list.
- This list names Benzyl Benzoate, Benzyl Salicylate and Fragrance, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.
- Betaine Salicylate and Gluconolactone on this list makes this product an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.

This means that gluconolactone acts as an exfoliating acid, but also as a moisturizer. It has moisturizing, soothing, and lightening properties, working well on dry skin.
