How it works
The Cica Acne Clear Peeling Scrub is a 200g peeling gel, used after cleansing, in place of the toner step, on two evenings a week. The active it is built around is Madecassoside, named twenty-ninth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Niacinamide, Asiaticoside and Madecassic Acid, 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 peeling gel format rather than by the list alone. ILLIYOON sells this Madecassoside peeling gel in Korea, and this is that version.
Key benefits
- Madecassoside, the active this peeling gel is built around
- Niacinamide, Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid and Asiatic Acid on the same list, actives
- Salicylic Acid and Gluconolactone further down the same list
- Lactic Acid and Glycolic Acid further down the same list
- Madecassoside named twenty-ninth on the manufacturer list printed on this page
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-ninth on this peeling gel's own ingredient list.
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. The panel names it twenty-fifth on this peeling gel's list, beside 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 thirty-third on this peeling gel's list, beside Madecassoside.
Madecassic 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. The panel names it thirty-fourth on this peeling gel'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. It is named thirty-fifth on this peeling gel's list, alongside Madecassoside.
Where does this peeling gel go in my routine?
After cleansing, in place of the toner step, on two evenings a week. Anything thinner than a peeling gel 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.
Does this peeling gel contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Citronellol, Fragrance, Hexyl Cinnamal and Linalool. 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 peeling gel is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Madecassoside?
Niacinamide, Asiaticoside and Madecassic Acid. The order they are printed in on this peeling gel'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, Salicylic Acid and Gluconolactone.

How to use
- Use on clean, damp skin, massaging gently for the time stated on the pack, then rinse. Limit use to two or three times a week rather than daily.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this peeling gel on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Madecassoside on the list.
- This list names Citronellol, Fragrance and Hexyl Cinnamal, so skip it if fragrance components are something you avoid.
- Citric Acid and Gluconolactone on this list makes this peeling gel an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.
