Products containing centella asiatica extract (CICA), madecassoside, or asiaticoside applied to irritated or compromised skin. Centella is clinically shown to stimulate collagen synthesis, accelerate wound healing, calm inflammatory skin conditions, and rebuild a weakened skin barrier. It is the active ingredient in cicaplast and countless barrier-repair products, and is especially effective after treatments like retinoids, chemical peels, or microneedling.

Fixed my retinoid-damaged barrier in 2 weeks. Now I use it every night alongside tret.
