Why we stock it
Centella asiatica has a long history in Asian skincare for comforting stressed skin, and it is now one of the most popular soothing ingredients worldwide.
The texture is a weightless gel, so it suits oilier skin and hot Nairobi afternoons when a cream feels like too much.
Keep it in the fridge for an instant calming effect after sun exposure or a facial.
How to use it
- Apply a thin layer wherever skin feels hot or tight.
- Can be used under or instead of moisturiser.
- Safe to use several times a day.
Patch test anything new on a small area for three days before applying it to the whole face. This page is general information, not medical advice — see a dermatologist for persistent or painful skin problems.
