General rule: apply thinnest/most active ingredients first, thicker/occlusive ingredients last.
soothing
Centella asiatica is the ingredient behind the 'cica' trend in K-beauty, and for once the hype is largely justified. With solid clinical evidence for wound healing, anti-inflammatory activity, and collagen synthesis support, it's one of the best-studied botanical ingredients in dermatology.
occlusive
Ceramides are lipids that make up roughly 50% of the skin barrier. They're not glamorous, rarely trend on social media, and don't promise overnight transformation — which is exactly why they work. Consistent use demonstrably improves barrier function, moisture retention, and skin resilience.
