soothing
General rule: apply thinnest/most active ingredients first, thicker/occlusive ingredients last.
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.
brightener
Niacinamide is one of the most versatile and well-researched skincare actives available. It regulates sebum production, strengthens the skin barrier, fades hyperpigmentation, and minimizes pore appearance — all with minimal irritation risk. If you could only pick one active, this would be a strong contender.
