Cica Cream

So-called cica creams contain pennywort extract, known for its soothing and regenerative effects. You may also come across names such as centella cream or centella asiatica cream, based on the Latin name of this beneficial plant.

Nowadays, centella face creams are a big hit among Korean cosmetics. They're just great for dry or oversensitive skin. Try hydrating cica cream and fall in love with it!

What Does Cica Mean?

The nickname cica comes from the French word cicatriser which means "to heal". This is because pennywort creams were popularized in France, where the name cica also caught on. In Asia, however, centella has been known for its regenerative effects since ancient times. According to legend, tigers rolled in it after fighting to heal their wounds. This is where the plant earned its other nickname – "tiger grass."

What Is Cica Cream Useful For?

Centella soothing cream has one key ability – it helps strengthen and restore the natural skin barrier. This is the outer protective layer of skin, which shields it from loss of moisture and necessary oils. At the same time, it also protects against external influences such as impurities, dryness, wind, cold, and sunlight. Thanks to this, cica cream can:

• regenerate skin and restore its balance,
• soothe irritation,
• keep skin nourished and supple,
• protect skin against moisture loss,
• help combat wrinkles and loss of elasticity.
