How it works
The RED BLEMISH CICA S CREAM 2 is a 70ml cream, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The active it is built around is Madecassoside, named nineteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Niacinamide, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and Asiaticoside, 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 Dr.G sells in Korea, Madecassoside and all.

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. It is the entry this cream is named after, and the list carries it.
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. The panel names it ninth on this cream's list, beside Madecassoside.
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizateactive
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is named twenty-sixth on this cream's list, alongside Madecassoside.
Asiaticosideactive
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 panel names it twenty-eighth on this cream's list, beside Madecassoside.
Asiatic 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. The panel names it forty-second on this cream's list, beside Madecassoside.
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, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and Asiaticoside. 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: Asiatic Acid, Madecassic Acid and Epigallocatechin Gallate.

How to use
- Take a small amount as the last leave-on step, once your serum has settled.
- Warm it between the fingertips first so it spreads without dragging on the skin.
- Press it over the cheeks and jaw, then use whatever is left on the neck.
- Do not layer it under a thin serum, since a cream on the bottom leaves the thinner layer sitting on top of it.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this cream on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Madecassoside on the list.
- Introduce this cream on its own for the first week, so anything your skin does is traceable to the Madecassoside rather than to three changes at once.

Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.
