We’re calling it: soothing ingredients are gonna be bigger than ever in 2024. Soothing ingredients, like Centella Asiatica, are great for calming any inflammation or irritation. Also known as Cica or Gotu Kola, using soothing products can be really beneficial to the skin, especially if you have sensitive or acne-prone skin.

Centella Asiatica not only calms the skin, it also helps with hydration, anti-ageing, treating wounds like acne, and protects the skin from further irritation. Although Centella Asiatica is a mainstay ingredient in K-beauty, we’re betting that we’ll see a lot more Western brands hop on the bandwagon, too. Let’s hop right into the best Centella Asiatica products in Singapore!
