What is Madecassoside?

A Centella-derived ingredient excellent for skin calming and barrier recovery

A key active component of Centella asiatica that promotes wound healing and suppresses inflammation.

Key properties & actions

Madecassoside is a triterpene saponin active ingredient extracted from centella (Centella asiatica), and it is one of centella's four major components (along with madecassic acid, asiatic acid, and asiaticoside). It is known to help with soothing and barrier protection, and it is used to calm skin reddened by outside irritation. An antioxidant supporting action has also been reported.

How to manage

It is often used in a serum or cream form during the soothing step for irritated skin, and adding it as a supportive product after potentially irritating steps such as retinol or acid exfoliation can help ease the burden. Using it consistently as daily soothing care is the common approach. It is best to choose the concentration and formula to match your skin condition.

Good to know alongside

It is often formulated together with the centella extract (cica) product line and soothing ingredients such as panthenol and allantoin. If redness is severe or persists for a long time, consulting a dermatologist is recommended.

Everyday care tips

Adding a madecassoside product for soothing the day after exfoliation or strong active use can help with skin stability.
