## How it works

The panel on this serum names four forms of centella asiatica rather than one: Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, Madecassic Acid. 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. On this panel it sits alongside Lactococcus Ferment Lysate, Lactobacillus Ferment Lysate and Bifida Ferment Lysate. Lactococcus Ferment Lysate is a lactic-culture ferment with the bacterial cells broken open, so their contents are in the formula too. It is used as a conditioning ferment in barrier-focused products.

## How to use

1. After toner, while skin is still slightly damp, apply Cica Calming Serum 50ml to the face and neck.
2. Press gently with your palms rather than rubbing, so it has a moment to absorb.
3. Follow with moisturiser once it has sunk in.

## FAQ

### What does the TOCOBO serum texture feel like on skin?

It applies as a fluid 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 serum fit in a Korean skincare routine?

It sits at the targeted treatment step after toner or essence and before moisturizer. 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: TOCOBO 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 serum first?

Anyone already using TOCOBO'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.
