Asiaticoside

Asiaticoside is a key triterpene of Centella asiatica with the strongest wound-healing evidence of its compound family: it stimulates collagen synthesis and angiogenesis, supporting the regeneration of damaged tissue. In skincare it is used to accelerate barrier recovery, improve firmness of healing skin, and reduce scarring potential of blemishes. At 0.1–0.5% it is gentle and pairs ideally with madecassoside and madecassic acid for the full Centella effect. K-beauty "cica" products rely on it. Users recovering from peels, microneedling, or retinoid damage get the most visible payoff — repair actives shine when there is repair to do.
