Asian Centella: The Up-and-Coming Skincare Ingredient

What is Asian Centella?

Asian Centella is a traditional ingredient that has been used for many centuries in culinary and medicinal practices. It may also be referred to as Brahmi, Asiatic pennywort, tiger grass, and gotu kola. In recent years, it has gained popularity in Korean skincare for its soothing, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant properties and is now becoming a favoured ingredient in Western skincare as well.

What does Asian Centella do to your skin?

Asian Centella is a multi-purpose ingredient because of the amazing effects it has. Asian Centella helps to strengthen capillaries and veins while encouraging better blood circulation, providing a wealth of benefits for your skin. It stops the formation of fibers that trap fat cells in cellulite, so it not only improves the current effects, but it works as a preventative measure. It improves the flexibility of connective tissue. It stimulates collagen synthesis by energizing dermal fibroblasts, leading to stronger blood vessel walls

Why choose BCN Asian Centella over a different product?

BCN’s Asian Centella solution is mixed with two other active ingredients: Fucus vesiculosus and hedera hélix extract (ivy). Fucus is great for tackling inflammation as well as having anti-aging properties (by improving the elasticity of the skin) and contains natural antioxidants. Hedera hélix extract has been scientifically proven to improve the effects of cellulite, with a study in 2012 showing 81% of women who used a topical cream with the extract for 3 months showed an improvement, compared to the 32% of the placebo group who did.

Is BCN Asian Centella just for cellulite?

No! This solution is a real all-in-one product, as well as a treatment for cellulite, it is also effective as a hair loss treatment, for stretch marks and scars, and for general skin appearance and anti-aging.

Is BCN Asian Centella suitable for my skin?

BCN Asian Centella is suitable for even sensitive skin such as those with rosacea, however if you are concerned consult a dermatologist and conduct a patch test. References: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3933246/
