How it works
Madecassoside is named on the ingredient panel on this serum. 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. On this panel it sits alongside Niacinamide, Centella Asiatica Extract and Asiaticoside. Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.

Key actives
Madecassoside
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.
Niacinamide
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is used at roughly 2 to 5 percent for the look of uneven tone and visible pores, and it is water soluble, stable and comfortable beside almost every other active, which is why it turns up in so many lists.
Centella Asiatica 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.
Asiaticoside
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.
What does Niacinamide do in this serum?
Niacinamide sits within the first ten ingredients, the tone-evening, barrier-supporting active Korean formulas lean on most often, and its early position here means it is not a token dose.
Is Panthenol also in this formula?
Panthenol (pro-vitamin B5) sits within the first ten ingredients as the formula's moisture-retention and comfort ingredient, a standard soothing base in Korean-market formulas. It sits alongside Niacinamide on MEDIHEAL's ingredient list for this product.
How is this serum used in a routine?
Apply a few drops to cleansed skin and pat in gently before moisturiser. It works as a treatment step layered under moisturiser.
Who is this serum suited for?
Sensitive skin, Normal skin are the best fit for this serum. Patch test on the inner arm before first full use, as with any new skincare product.

How to use
- Apply after toner while the surface is damp so a few drops cover the whole face.
- Press it in with flat fingertips, working outward from the centre of the face.
- Follow with a moisturiser once it has settled for about a minute.
- Do not start it in the same week as a new acid or retinoid, since you will not know which caused a reaction.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on the inner arm before first full use, as with any new skincare product.
