Combinations that work
- CeramidesRepairing
Centella reduces inflammation signals; ceramides rebuild the lipid barrier around it. Together they repair faster than either does alone — the pairing to reach for after a breakout or an over-exfoliation.
- HeartleafCalming
Centella is the broader calming agent, stimulating repair through madecassoside and asiaticoside; heartleaf targets the bacterial and inflammatory side more directly. Together they cover both halves of reactive, breakout-prone skin.
- PanthenolCalming
Panthenol holds water and shortens the recovery time of an irritated barrier; centella lowers the inflammation that caused it. Together, the pairing for skin recovering from over-exfoliation.
