The Magical Healing Power of Centella Asiatica｜Peko Peach Studio Skincare Tips

Have you heard of Centella Asiatica—a beloved natural ingredient in Asian skincare? It's more than just a plant; it’s known as the “natural healer” for the skin.

What is Centella Asiatica?

Also known as “Gotu Kola” or “Tiger Grass,” Centella Asiatica has been used in traditional Asian medicine for thousands of years. Legend has it that tigers would roll in the plant to heal their wounds—hence the nickname "Tiger Grass." This plant is rich in active compounds like asiaticoside and madecassic acid, which help repair skin, calm irritation, and promote collagen production.

Skincare Benefits of Centella Asiatica

1. 🌿 Soothes redness and sensitivity: Ideal for calming inflamed, itchy, or irritated skin.

2. 🌿 Repairs the skin barrier: Whether it’s after a seasonal change, sun exposure, or a facial treatment, Centella helps restore balance to the skin.

3. 🌿 Boosts collagen production: It stimulates fibroblasts to speed up wound healing and support anti-aging.

4. 🌿 Fades acne scars and fine lines: Its antioxidant and circulation-boosting properties make it effective in fading post-acne marks and smoothing the skin.

Who Should Use It?

✔ Sensitive skin

✔ Acne-prone skin

✔ Post-treatment or after facials like chemical peels, microneedling

✔ Anyone looking to fade scars or maintain calm, healthy skin
