🌿 Bye-Bye Redness: How Centella & Mugwort Soothe Irritated Skin
If you struggle with red, sensitive, or irritated skin, Korean skincare offers two powerhouse solutions: Centella Asiatica (also known as “Cica”) and Mugwort. Both ingredients have centuries of history in herbal medicine and are now modern staples in K-beauty calming skincare. At Maison19, here’s why they deserve a place in your routine.
🌸 Centella Asiatica: The Barrier Healer
Also known as “tiger grass,” Centella is rich in asiaticoside, madecassoside, and asiatic acid compounds proven to calm inflammation and support skin barrier repair. It’s ideal for:
- Soothing redness from acne or irritation
- Strengthening a weakened skin barrier
- Providing lightweight hydration without heaviness

- Calming stressed, inflamed skin
- Supporting long-term skin resilience
