humectant
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.
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.
