Centella essence calms redness with a minimalist, soothing formula; hydration runs light.

A minimalist centella essence for redness-prone, sensitive skin that wants lightweight soothing without a crowded ingredient list. It layers easily under moisturizer, but dry skin may find the hydration too slight to stand alone.

What the science says
Centella, also called cica, is rated not proven yet for redness and irritation, since only two studies have tested it 1. The one study that tested it directly found it reduced redness more than a placebo after laser treatment, and it also improved crusting and overall skin appearance 1. With so few studies, the evidence is thin, so these early results should be read cautiously 1.
