CICA POST-CARE

CICA POST-CARE

Skin is the body's first line of defence, but when it's damaged, it needs time to heal — a normal, healthy appearance doesn't return overnight. Even with the skin's own repair processes, difficulties can arise that prolong recovery. This is particularly evident during pregnancy, when the skin struggles to restructure itself correctly and often lacks firmness, leading to the appearance of stretch marks.

Titrated extract of Centella asiatica, commonly known as CICA or tiger grass, is a highly purified composition of some of the most potent molecules found in the plant. CICA works to expedite the repair of damaged skin and restore its integrity by enhancing the production of vital proteins within the dermis and delivering a soothing effect.

The extract used in this formulation is sourced from wild Centella asiatica, harvested in Madagascar, and combined with provitamin B5 (panthenol), known for its ability to hydrate the skin and support the restoration of skin integrity. When applied topically, panthenol penetrates the epidermis, where it is absorbed by skin cells and converted into pantothenic acid, helping hydrate the stratum corneum. Panthenol also helps strengthen the skin's hydrolipidic film, combating water loss and dehydration.
