What Centella Asiatica does
The K-beauty hero known as cica (in India, gotu kola or brahmi). It calms irritation and redness and helps a stressed barrier recover. That makes it a perfect sidekick to strong actives.

What Vitamin C does
A powerful antioxidant that brightens dull skin, fades dark spots and boosts your sunscreen's protection against free radicals. Pure L-ascorbic acid works best at a low pH and oxidises (turns orange) quickly.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use Centella Asiatica and Vitamin C together?
Yes, and they work even better together. Centella Asiatica cushions Vitamin C: it hydrates and supports the barrier while the active does its work. That means less irritation and better results.
Which goes first, Centella Asiatica or Vitamin C?
Apply Vitamin C first, then Centella Asiatica. The general rule is thinnest to thickest texture, and lowest pH first.
Should I use Centella Asiatica in the morning or at night?
Centella Asiatica: works morning or night. Use morning and night. It is ideal on the day after an exfoliation or retinoid night.
Should I use Vitamin C in the morning or at night?
Vitamin C: best in the morning. Apply in the morning on clean skin before moisturiser and sunscreen. Store it away from light and heat, and throw it out once it turns dark orange.
