How it works
This Cica Collagen Essence is a lightweight liquid, formulated around centella asiatica extract, hydrolyzed collagen and madecassoside. It presses into the skin and is meant to be pressed into skin right after cleansing and toner, ahead of heavier steps. The remaining formula carries supporting humectants and film-forming agents typical of a VT essence of this kind, listed in full on the ingredient panel itself. Introduce this product on its own for the first several uses before layering it with other actives.
Key benefits
- Five ceramides (NP, NS, AS, EOP, AP) support the barrier feel
- Six peptides, including copper tripeptide-1, close the ingredient list
- Niacinamide sits in the top six entries for tone
- Hydrolyzed collagen and sodium hyaluronate keep skin bouncy, not tacky

VT Cosmetics Cica Collagen Essence
Is the Cica Collagen Essence on this page the Korean-market VT Cosmetics formula?
Yes. It is the release VT Cosmetics sells inside Korea. A product carrying the same name in a US-facing listing can be a different export version with a different ingredient list or size, and we only stock the Korean release. The box and unit that ship to you keep their Korean-language packaging and Korean barcode intact.
What does the Cica Collagen Essence actually contain?
Its own ingredient list names centella asiatica extract, hydrolyzed collagen, madecassoside and sodium hyaluronate, and we only describe what that list states rather than adding anything a similar VT product happens to carry. Cica Collagen Essence is a lightweight liquid, and it is meant to be pressed into skin right after cleansing and toner, ahead of heavier steps.
How do I check that this Cica Collagen Essence unit is genuine?
VT Cosmetics has not published a scan-based verification route; match the batch code on the box against the code on the bottle or tube itself. Your unit ships with its Korean-market barcode and its batch code intact, because the production date stays yours to read rather than covered by a repack label. VT Cosmetics is one of the brands on this store with no scan-based verification of its own on record, so the batch-code cross-check is the honest answer here rather than a claim VT has not made.
How does buying the Cica Collagen Essence here compare with a US retailer?
This is the unit built for the Korean market, with the Korean barcode and batch code intact on the box rather than swapped for a US-facing repack.
How is the Cica Collagen Essence meant to be used?
It is pressed into skin right after cleansing and toner, ahead of heavier steps, and its own texture is a lightweight liquid. Introduce it on its own for the first several uses so any reaction traces back to this product rather than to whatever else is in a routine that week, then fold it into the rest of a routine once it has been tolerated well.

How to use
- Use it after toner, before your cream, morning or evening.
- One or two pumps pressed over the face with the palms.
- In the morning let it settle before makeup, since it layers under a base well.
- Do not put it over a cream, because an essence works under the sealing step.
Worth knowing
- Propolis Extract is bee-derived, so this formula is not a vegan one.

Topical collagen is a very large molecule that's too big to absorb into the skin.

Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.
