Unveiling Lerinn's Key Ingredients: Centella Asiatica
Centella Asiatica, also known as Gotu Kola (aka Cica), is a herbaceous plant that has been used for wound healing and scar treatment in Asian traditional medicine for centuries. It is renowned for its diverse skin benefits.
- Anti-Inflammatory/ Soothing Properties
Centella Asiatica contains compounds, such as Asiaticoside, Madecassoside, Asiatic Acid, and Madecassic Acid, known for their potent anti-inflammatory and soothing properties. These compounds aid in soothing and calming irritated and red skin, making Centella Asiatica beneficial for individuals with sensitive or inflamed skin conditions such as rosacea, atopic dermatitis (eczema), psoriasis, or acne.
- Antioxidant
Centella Asiatica is rich in antioxidants, aiding in the protection of the skin from free radical damage caused by environmental stresses like UV radiations and pollution. This helps to prevent premature aging and maintain healthy, youthful skin.
- Hydration and moisture
Centella Asiatica is a good hydrating ingredient that moisturizes the skin and enhances its moisture retention capacity. This makes it particularly advantageous for individuals with dry or dehydrated skin, helping to restore the skin's natural barrier function and prevent moisture loss.
- Anti-Aging
Centella Asiatica stimulates collagen synthesis, which is essential for maintaining the skin’s firmness and elasticity. This can accelerate the skin repair process and improve the overall texture and appearance of the skin, promoting a more youthful complexion.
Lerinn Advanced Soothing Repair Serum contains highly concentrated Titrated Extract of Centella Asiatica (TECA) - Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, and Madecassic Acid - known for their powerful soothing and repairing properties.
