## How it works

The panel on this essence names five forms of centella asiatica rather than one: Centella Asiatica Extract, Madecassoside, 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 Niacinamide, Hydrogenated Vegetable Oil and Hydroxypinacolone Retinoate. 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.

## How to use

1. Cleanse and tone first so the skin is clean and slightly damp, not dripping wet.
2. Dispense a few drops of Cica Reti-A Essence 0.3 into the palm or fingertips and press it over the face and neck.
3. Pat gently until it is absorbed rather than rubbing it in.
4. Follow with a moisturizer or cream within a minute or two to seal the hydration in.

## FAQ

### When do I use Cica Reti-A Essence 0.3 in my routine?

Use Cica Reti-A Essence 0.3 after cleansing and toner, before your moisturizer or cream. It is a leave-on step, so apply it to a clean face and let it settle for a minute before layering the next product. Most people use it once in the morning and once at night, though a single evening application is fine while your skin adjusts to a new step.

### Can I layer it with other serums or ampoules?

Yes. Apply thinner, more watery formulas first and heavier creams last, so this ampoule generally goes after a toner and before a thicker serum or moisturizer. If you use it alongside an actives-heavy routine, introduce it on its own for the first week so you can tell what any reaction is coming from.

### Does it feel greasy or heavy on the skin?

No. It has a water-forward, leave-on base rather than a heavy oil or wax base, so it absorbs into the surface rather than sitting on top of it. Most people describe the feel as light and quickly absorbed, not tacky or greasy.

### Is this the same formula sold in Korea?

Yes. This is the Korean-market VT Cosmetics release, imported with its original Korean-language packaging, barcode, and batch code intact, rather than a version reformulated or repackaged for US retail. We check that batch code against the one on the box before it ships, instead of relying on the listing alone.

### How long does one bottle last with daily use?

At roughly a few drops per application, twice a day, a 30 ml bottle typically lasts about six to eight weeks, though usage varies with how much product a person applies each time.
