General rule: apply thinnest/most active ingredients first, thicker/occlusive ingredients last.
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.
soothing
Madecassoside is one of the key active compounds extracted from Centella asiatica, isolated for more targeted soothing and healing effects. It's the ingredient doing much of the heavy lifting in 'cica' products — promoting collagen synthesis, reducing inflammation, and accelerating wound healing.
