How it works
The CICAGO Cica Clearing Bubble Cleanser is a 200ml foam cleanser, used as your first step, morning and evening, on a face already wet with lukewarm water. The plant extract it is built around is Centella Asiatica Extract, named fourteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Chamaecyparis Obtusa Leaf Extract, Castanea Crenata (Chestnut) Shell Extract and Salix Alba (Willow) Bark 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 foam cleanser format rather than by the list alone. isoi sells this Centella Asiatica Extract foam cleanser in Korea, and this is that version.

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. The name on the box points at it, and it is named fourteenth on this foam cleanser's own ingredient list.
Chamaecyparis Obtusa Leaf Extractplant extract
Chamaecyparis Obtusa is hinoki cypress. Its leaf extract carries aromatic plant compounds and is used in Korean formulas aimed at oily, congested skin. It is named eighth on this foam cleanser's list, alongside Centella Asiatica Extract.
Castanea Crenata (Chestnut) Shell Extractplant extract
Chestnut Shell Extract carries tannins and is used as an antioxidant plant extract, most often in formulas aimed at visible pores. It is named twelfth on this foam cleanser's list, alongside Centella Asiatica Extract.
Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extractplant extract
Willow Bark Extract carries salicin, the plant compound salicylic acid is related to. The two are not interchangeable: willow bark is a mild clarifying extract, not a BHA exfoliant at the levels used in cosmetics. It is named thirteenth on this foam cleanser's list, alongside Centella Asiatica Extract.
Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extractplant extract
Scutellaria Baicalensis is Chinese skullcap. Its root extract carries baicalin, a well studied plant antioxidant, and it is used for the look of redness. It is named fifteenth on this foam cleanser's list, alongside Centella Asiatica Extract.
Where does this foam cleanser go in my routine?
As your first step, morning and evening, on a face already wet with lukewarm water. Nothing goes under it: this foam cleanser is the step everything else in the routine lands on top of. 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 Centella Asiatica Extract and not three changes at once.
What else is on the list besides Centella Asiatica Extract?
Chamaecyparis Obtusa Leaf Extract, Castanea Crenata (Chestnut) Shell Extract and Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract. The order they are printed in on this foam cleanser'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: Scutellaria Baicalensis Root Extract, Paeonia Suffruticosa Root Extract and Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract.
