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.
exfoliant bha
The tree-bark cousin of aspirin — gentle enough for daily use, strong enough that 'clean beauty' brands keep leaning on it to dodge synthetic BHA.
