Centella ampoule hydrates and smooths pore appearance; results require consistent use.

What the community says

Backed by 2 studies

An airy centella-and-aloe ampoule adds layered hydration, calms visible irritation, and gives pores a smoother-looking finish without heaviness. It suits dehydrated combination or oily skin under makeup, yet breakout-prone users report reactions and some find the pore payoff negligible.

What the science says

Centella, also called cica, has been studied for redness and irritation in only two studies, so its evidence is rated not proven yet and remains thin 1. The one study that tested it directly found it reduced redness more than a placebo after laser treatment 1. That same study also found it improved crusting and the overall look of the skin 1. Because the research is so limited, these results should be read as early signs rather than settled proof 1.
