Why Centella Asiatica is so popular in K-Beauty

Centella asiatica—also known as tiger grass—is one of the most popular ingredients in Korean skincare. But what makes this ingredient so special?

Soothing for sensitive skin
Centella is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. It soothes irritated, reddened, or acne-prone skin and supports the regeneration of the skin barrier.

Moisture & Anti-Aging
Thanks to its high content of amino acids and antioxidants, Centella not only provides intensive moisture but also counteracts the signs of premature skin aging.

Ideal for all skin types
Whether you have dry, sensitive, or blemished skin, Centella Asiatica fits into any skincare routine and is particularly well tolerated.

In which products can I find Centella?
Many popular K-Beauty brands such as Purito, Beauty of Joseon and SKIN1004 use centella in serums, toners or creams – often in combination with niacinamide or madecassoside for maximum effect.

Conclusion
Centella Asiatica is a true all-rounder: soothing, moisturizing, and protective. A must-have in every K-Beauty routine.
