Reviewed by SerumTruth Editorial · Updated July 2026
One of the cleanest ways to work centella into a routine: a well-priced, single-minded ampoule built on one of the better-studied soothing botanicals. It will not brighten or resurface, but for the appearance of a calmer complexion it does the job honestly.

What’s inside
| Active | Disclosed | Dose |
|---|---|---|
| Centella Asiatica (Cica) | n/a | Studied |
A pared-back centella ampoule where the botanical extract used is pure Madagascar centella asiatica, carrying the full set of soothing triterpenes including madecassoside, in a light watery base and a frosted glass dropper. It is a calming, comfort-focused layer for the look of a less-reddened complexion. Centella is not fragile, so the dropper is fine.
How it’s delivered
Air- and light-sensitive actives (vitamin C, copper peptides) lose potency fast in the wrong packaging, so delivery and the bottle are scored, not just what’s on the label.
