How it works

This Cica Cream is a comfortable, lightweight cream, formulated around centella asiatica extract, asiaticoside and madecassoside. It settles into the skin and is meant to be worked in on dry or easily-unsettled skin. The remaining formula carries supporting humectants and film-forming agents typical of a VT cream 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

  • Asiaticoside, madecassoside and centella extract all sit in the top ten
  • Propolis extract adds a nourishing, comforting layer
  • Panthenol, beta-glucan and ceramide NP support the barrier feel
  • Rich enough to be the last PM step over actives

How to use

  1. Use it as the final step, morning or evening, over everything else.
  2. A cherry sized amount covers the face, and more on the evenings skin feels tight.
  3. On evenings you use an acid or a retinoid elsewhere, this is the layer that goes over the top.
  4. Do not make it the whole routine on a dehydrated face; a cream seals what is under it.

Worth knowing

  • Propolis Extract is bee-derived, so this formula is not a vegan one.
