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 thirteenth on this gel cream's own ingredient list.
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is named fifth on this gel cream's list, alongside Centella Asiatica Extract.
Allantoinactive
Allantoin is a comfrey-derived compound used to condition skin and soften the outer layer so it feels smoother. It is one of the standard additions to a formula built for easily irritated skin. The panel names it fourteenth on this gel cream's list, beside Centella Asiatica Extract.
Adenosineactive
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. It is named seventeenth on this gel cream's list, alongside Centella Asiatica Extract.
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizateactive
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is named eighteenth on this gel cream's list, alongside Centella Asiatica Extract.
Where does this gel cream go in my routine?
As the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. Anything thinner than a gel 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 Centella Asiatica Extract and not three changes at once.
Is this the Korean-market gel cream or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Centella Asiatica Extract and all. We match this gel cream to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
Does this gel cream contain fragrance?
Yes. The ingredient list names Limonene 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 gel cream is not the one.
What else is on the list besides Centella Asiatica Extract?
Niacinamide, Allantoin and Adenosine. The order they are printed in on this gel cream'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: Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Extract and Aspalathus Linearis (Rooibos) Extract.

How it works
The Centella Calming Gel Cream is a 60ml gel cream, used as the last skincare step, morning and evening, over serum. The plant extract it is built around is Centella Asiatica Extract, named thirteenth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Niacinamide, Allantoin and Adenosine, 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 gel cream format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the gel cream IUNIK sells in Korea, Centella Asiatica Extract and all.
How to use
- Last step, AM and PM, after toner and serum.
- Smooth an even layer over the face and neck.
