Centella Asiatica Extract is a full-plant centella extract, the botanical behind Korean 'cica' skincare, chosen for its calming effect on redness and its long track record in barrier-focused formulas for sensitive, reactive skin. Trehalose is a sugar-based humectant and osmoprotectant that helps skin cells retain water under stress, adding a second layer of moisture support to the rest of the formula. Arginine is an amino acid used here as a mild pH buffer and conditioning agent, part of what keeps a hyaluronic-acid-heavy formula feeling comfortable rather than sticky. Used at a grab-and-go step that can replace several skincare products at once, from moisturizer to dewy highlighter, it is designed to work with the rest of a layered Korean routine rather than as a stand-alone fix. ## How to use 1. Apply it last, after your usual moisturiser has gone on across the rest of the face. 2. Press a small amount onto the patch and let it sit rather than rubbing it until it disappears. 3. Use it on one or two areas at a time, since a balm across a whole face is heavier than most skin wants. 4. Do not use it up to the lash line or on the waterline, because a balm that migrates into the eye blurs vision. ## Ingredients Water, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Propanediol, Glycerin, Sorbitan Stearate, Stearyl Alcohol, Cetyl Alcohol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Trehalose, Vinyl Dimethicone, Glyceryl Stearate, Centella Asiatica Extract, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Arginine, Madecassoside, Calamine, Hydroxyethyl Acrylate/Sodium Acryloyldimethyl Taurate Copolymer, Sorbityl Laurate, Phytosteryl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate, Synthetic Beeswax, Behenyl Alcohol, Carbomer, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Pyrus Malus (Apple) Leaf Extract, Jasminum Officinale (Jasmine) Flower Water, Glycol Stearate Se, Betaine, Cetearyl Alcohol, Stearic Acid, Glyceryl Acrylate/Acrylic Acid Copolymer, Prunus Amygdalus Amara (Bitter Almond) Kernel Oil, Vanilla Planifolia Fruit Extract, Xanthan Gum, Protease, Disodium EDTA ## FAQ ### What does the ROVECTIN stick texture feel like on skin? It applies as a balm texture that settles in within a minute or two rather than sitting on the surface. Because it is the Korean-market formula rather than a US-shelf reformulation, the finish matches what the same product feels like on shelf in Korea, not a version adjusted for a different market's regulations. ### Where does this multi-use balm stick fit in a Korean skincare routine? It sits at a grab-and-go step that can replace several skincare products at once, from moisturizer to dewy highlighter. Korean routines are built as layers rather than a single all-in-one step, so using it out of order, for example before a lighter product that needs to absorb first, is the most common reason a product underperforms its expectations. ### Is this the authentic Korean-market version, and how is it different from what US retailers sell? Yes: ROVECTIN formulates this line for the Korean market first, and this is that exact formula shipped from Korean-market stock rather than a separately registered US version. Some Korean brands sell a reformulated line through US retailers with different actives or filter systems to clear US regulations, and this is not that product. ### Who should reach for this multi-use balm stick first? Anyone already using ROVECTIN's other products will notice the same formulation logic here, and it is a reasonable first pick for someone building out a Korean routine around this step for the first time. Skin that reacts to heavy fragrance loads should still read the full ingredient panel on the product page before committing to daily use. ### How should this be stored and how long does it last once opened? Keep it out of direct sun and away from bathroom heat and humidity, the way any Korean-formulated skincare should be stored, and use a clean hand or spatula rather than repeatedly dipping wet fingers into the container. A sealed, unopened unit keeps for the shelf life printed on its own Korean-market batch code, which is intact on every unit we ship. --- Page: https://korean-pharmacy.com/products/rovectin-cica-care-spot-balm-40ml-1
