Key actives
Centella Asiatica Leaf Water
Centella Asiatica Leaf Water is the distilled water of the centella leaf, used in place of plain water as a formula base. It is far more dilute than the extract, so it sets the base rather than supplying the actives.
Centella Asiatica Leaf 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.
Madecassic Acid
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.
Lauric Acid
Lauric Acid is the coconut fatty acid that gives soap-style cleansers their dense foam. It is not well suited to blemish-prone skin at high levels.
Salicylic Acid
Salicylic Acid is a BHA, and the only common exfoliant that is oil soluble, so it can work inside a pore rather than only on the surface. It loosens the dead cells that block pores and is used for the look of congested, oily skin.
Hedera Helix (Ivy) Leaf/Stem Extract
Ivy Leaf and Stem Extract carries saponins, plant compounds that foam slightly in water. It is used in body and eye formulas for the look of puffiness.
How to use
- Work into a lather on damp skin, massage gently, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

How it works
The panel on this foaming cleanser names seven forms of centella asiatica rather than one: Centella Asiatica Leaf Water, Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract, Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid, Centella Asiatica Extract, Asiatic Acid, Madecassoside. Centella Asiatica Leaf Water is the distilled water of the centella leaf, used in place of plain water as a formula base. It is far more dilute than the extract, so it sets the base rather than supplying the actives. On this panel it sits alongside Lauric Acid, Salicylic Acid and Hedera Helix (Ivy) Leaf/Stem Extract. Lauric Acid is the coconut fatty acid that gives soap-style cleansers their dense foam. It is not well suited to blemish-prone skin at high levels.
Worth knowing
- Patch test on a small area first and wait a day before full use, especially the first time.
