Worth knowing

IngredientWhat it isWhat it does for skin
Salicylic acidA beta hydroxy acid (BHA), oil-soluble unlike AHAs.Exfoliates inside pores to clear buildup and control oil, with mild anti-inflammatory properties useful for acne-prone skin.Note: An active exfoliant. Can be drying or irritating with daily use, especially for dry or sensitized skin.
MadecassosideOne of centella asiatica's key active compounds, often isolated and purified.A soothing, antioxidant compound studied for calming sensitive and reactive skin and supporting barrier repair.
AsiaticosideOne of centella asiatica's primary triterpenoid glycosides, alongside madecassoside.Studied for supporting wound healing and collagen synthesis; often included alongside madecassoside for a broader range of centella's soothing and repair-supporting effects.
Centella asiatica extractA plant extract, also called Cica or tiger grass, long used in traditional medicine for wound healing.Calms redness and irritation and supports the skin barrier; some preclinical and limited clinical research suggests it may also support collagen production, though more rigorous long-term studies are still needed to confirm this.
Sodium hyaluronateThe salt form of hyaluronic acid, commonly used for its water solubility and stability in formulas; molecular weight varies by product rather than being uniformly smaller.Draws and holds moisture the same way hyaluronic acid does; how easily it absorbs depends on the specific molecular weight used, which formulas don't always disclose.
Hydrolyzed hyaluronic acidHyaluronic acid broken into smaller fragments.A humectant that holds water at the skin surface; the smaller size is meant to hydrate at a shallower depth.
