Centella Asiatica Extract

What it does: Cleansing, Skin Conditioning, Smoothing, Soothing, Tonic

Community Rating: Loved

Centella Asiatica Extract is derived from an herb plant native to Southeast Asia. It is rich in antioxidants and amino acids. In skincare products, Centella Asiatica Extract is used for its anti-inflammatory and soothing properties.

Many active components found in Centella Asiatica Extract, such as Madecassic Acid and Asiaticoside, encourage the skin to naturally produce hyaluronic acid. This helps keep our skin hydrated. Many of these components also show antioxidant activity and may help reduce the signs of aging.

Research shows Centella Asiatica can help increase Type I collagen production by increasing fibroblast production. Fibroblast helps form connective tissue.

The combination of all these properties makes Centella Asiatica Extract effective at soothing the skin.

Other components of Centella Asiatic Extract include Vitamin A, vitamin C, several B vitamins, and Asiatic Acid.

Recent studies found madecassoside may help prevent damage from UV rays by preventing UV-induced inflammation. Further research is needed.

This plant has been used as a medicine and in food for many centuries. As a medicine, it is used to treat burns, scratches, and wounds.

Game changer
These have changed the game for me. I'm a picker so spots usually last for months for me, but this flattens them down and takes a good majority of the rubbish out. This gets rid of 90% of the spot, and leaves just pigment behind. It's not 100% healed but speeds the process up by about 2 weeks

They get the job done, but not as well as other pimple patch options. For whatever reason they tear off a layer of my skin along with the pus it absorbed. My mom has had the same issue. Maybe it's fine if you have thicker skin.

Used to be my favorite, but still a good option.
I’ve gone through a lot of these over the years, (according to my order history I’ve bought these at least 7 times). They really are amazing for early stage, under the skin, and painful pimples. However, over the past year I’ve switched to using the Peach Slices Deep Blemish Microdarts for a couple of reasons. 1) the price of the PS patch is a little cheaper and 2) you get 9 patches with PS while HC patches only gives you 8. The two patches are very similar, and the only reason I would choose the Hero Cosmetic patches over the Peach Slices is if you have a sensitivity to tea tree (which the PS patches contain but the HC ones do not).
