There's a hot new ingredient trending in the beauty world. Dubbed the best skincare ingredient of 2021, Centella asiatica (Cica for short) is a real skincare hero that deserves all the praise.
Commonly known as Tiger Grass or Gotu Kola, Cica is an ancient medicinal herb native to the wetlands of Asia that has been used in eastern medicine for thousands of years. This unique plant is the basis of new skincare formulas that offer hydrating, soothing and repairing qualities, as well as powerful anti-oxidant protection.
Why We Love It?
Centella asicatica is known for its ability to speed up skin healing and for strengthening the skin barrier. It also protects against free radical damage and offers multiple anti-aging benefits for every skin type.
Let's face it - today, more than ever, soothing and comforting skincare products often top the list of anyone concerned with "stressed skin." It's no wonder "maskne" was the most googled skincare term of 2020.
While Skin Devotee is not about trends, we are fully on-board the Cica train. We've put together for you a short list of products that contain this powerful ingredient so that you too may benefit from its healing powers.
