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.
humectant
Snail mucin is one of K-beauty's most iconic — and most debated — ingredients. The evidence suggests genuine hydrating and wound-healing properties from its glycoprotein, glycolic acid, and hyaluronic acid content, but the clinical data specifically for skin application is more limited than the hype implies.
