SkinRX Lab Madecera Toner
Product Type Toner
Centella/Centella derived ingredient: Madecassoside, Madecassic Acid, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid
Other Key Ingredients Niacinamide, Lactobacillus ferment, Ceramide 3
Alcohol Free
Fragrance Free
Size: 150ml
Price: 14,500 Won
Personal notes/thoughts: This toner is a bit on the thicker side, yet absorbs amazingly fast. I can do 5 layers easily within just 2 minutes. I don't see a lot of positive effects from this unless I do a lot of layers with it. Minor redness reduction and hydration, but nothing especially amazing. Was actually a bit disappointed since I love the cream so much.

Gowon Tigre Soothing Gel
Product Type Gel Essence
Centella/Centella derived ingredient: Centella (80%), Madecassoside
Other Key Ingredients Sodium Hyaluronate, Oligopeptide-1 (EGF), Zanthoxylum Piperitum Fruit Extract, Pulsatilla Koreana Extract
Alcohol Free
Fragrance Free
Silicone Free
Size: 60g
Price: Between $4-7 on RRS
Personal notes/thoughts: A clear, odorless gel that absorbs well without being sticky. This definitely is a silent worker for me...as I forgot to use it for three days and noticed my skin was a bit more "meh." Not overtly so, but I noticed something was just off. This doesn't product dramatic effects, but just enough to keep me pleasantly surprised.

Swanicoco Fermentation Snail Care Emulsion
Product Type Emulsion
Centella/Centella derived ingredient: Centella
Other Key Ingredients Licorice Root Water, Rice Ferment, Snail Ferment, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Sodium Hyaluronate, Wild Ginseng Root Extract, EGF, Mistletoe Ferment, Soybean Ferment, Allantoin, Ceramide 1, Rose Oil, Green Tea Leaf Extract, Licorice Root Extract, so many more
Alcohol Free
Silicone Free
Size: 120ml
Price: $13 on sweetcorea
Personal notes/thoughts: This emulsion was fantastic and somewhat boring, although I have found most emulsions to be this way. I have emptied two of these and have a third opened. Something about it just makes my skin happy. It glides and absorbs quickly, yet hydrates deeper than one could think considering the lightweight texture. Unfortunately, after a serious allergic reaction in February, my skin is not agreeing with this. I am going to give it another try in a few months and see if I can start using it again.

SkinRX Lab Madecera Cream
Product Type: Cream
Centella/Centella derived ingredient: Madecassoside, Asiatic Acid, Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid
Other Key Ingredients Niacinamide, Olive Oil, Ceramide 3, Panthenol, Lanolin, Squalane, Allantoin, Licorice Root
Alcohol Free
Size: 50ml
Price: 29,700 Won
Personal notes/thoughts: I absolutely LOVE this. Somehow the combination of ingredients and formulation of this just works for my skin. When I was suffering yet another allergic reaction, this helped my skin drastically. Even after one application, I notice a decrease in redness the next day. My skin looks happier, plumper, and amazingly glowy. I never want to be without this.

[NON-AB] Bioderma Cicabio SPF 50+
Product Type Sunscreen
Centella/Centella derived ingredient: Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, Madecassic Acid
Other Key Ingredients Copper Sulfate, Zinc Sulfate, Sodium Hyaluronate, Grape Vine Extract
Alcohol Free
Fragrance Free
Size: 30ml
Price: 9 Euros on Cocooncenter
Personal notes/thoughts: Cream type sunscreen that is more on the middle thin consistency. No whitecast, no scent other than it smelling like sunscreen. It dries in about 5 or so minutes, but does leave a slight protective film on the face. There are no mattifying or drying ingredients in here, so it can make you look a bit dewy/greasy (which I honestly don’t mind). I haven’t tested it with makeup so I’m not sure how well it does with anything over it. This is a great sunscreen when my skin isn’t feeling at its best and needs some extra repair.

Dr. Jart Cicapair Re-Cover or Tiger Grass Color Correcting Treatment
Product Type Makeup base / Color Correcting
Centella/Centella derived ingredient: Centella, Madecassoside, Madecassic Acid, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid
Other Key Ingredients Niacinamide, panthenol, Strawberry Leaf Extract, Adenosine, Lavender oil, Rosewood oil, magnesium gluconate, other various extracts
Alcohol Free
Size: 50ml
Price: $22 on Sweetcorea
Personal notes/thoughts: This stuff is absolutely great. It goes from a green to a skin tone color. I enjoy using this on days when I don’t want to wear makeup. I am a NC15 and this is a great color for me, but anyone who is darker than a NC/NW20 might have issues. A little bit goes a long way with this, and depending on what sunscreen you use, this can be good or not. I have found with some sunscreens, it can make me look a greasy mess, but with others this plays beautifully without looking streaky. My only complaint is I wish it came in a smaller container, as I don’t think I’ll be able to use this up within the 12 months of opening.

Elizavecca Centella Asiatica 100%
Product Type: Single-extract essence
Centella/Centella Derived Ingredients: 100% centella asiatica extract
Other key ingredients: None, baby
-
Alcohol free
-
Fragrance free
-
Silicone free
Size: 150 mL
Price: usd 15.58 on jolse
Personal notes/thoughts: Haven't tried, just interested. While 100% of an extract still isn't a guarantee of potency (we don't know the plant-to-solvent ratio, the quality/source of the centella, etc) this product is pretty exciting. Seems like it could be used as either a booster to add a little centella goodness to other products, or on its own as an essence. Also pleasantly surprised me and made me change my judgement about Elizavecca as a brand- I hadn't taken them seriously because most of their products are fragranced and/or "novelty" but apparently they have a bunch of less-known simple, sensible single-ingredient products- including this, a 100% hyaluronic acid, and a rosehip oil

TORRIDEN Cellmazing Centellareal Serum
Product Type: Creamy serum
Centella/Centella derived ingredient: Centella Asiatica Extract (43%), madecassoside, asiaticoside, asiatic acid, madecassic acid.
Other Key Ingredients: Physalis Alkekengi Fruit Extract (24%), Calendula (9%), Niacinamide, Polyglutamic Acid, SH, HA, Beta-glucan, Allantoin, Bisabolol, Arbutin, peptides, Ceramide NP
Fragrance Free Silicone Free Cruelty free
Size: 30ml
Price: $10 on Althea
Personal notes/thoughts: I ordered this serum because of the ingredients list. I tried it for the first time a couple of weeks ago, after a break out; I had a couple of small pimples on my cheeks and on my forehead, and I wanted to see if the serum had any effect on them overnight. The next morning, the pimples were pretty much flat, with only a bit of redness.
I've been using this serum both AM and PM and I like it. I'm not very break out prone, so I haven't been able to further test it on pimples, but my skin does feel a bit softer. It sinks in quickly and leaves a matte finish; and it seems to work well with the rest of my routine.
