Madecassoside (Ingredient Explained + Products)

Antioxidants inhibit oxidation, or a chemical reaction that leads to cell-damage and are found to correct signs of aging, brighten skin tone, and some antioxidants help stimulate collagen.

These ingredients are often used to help reduce irritation and support the skin barrier. They can be especially helpful for soothing sensitive or reactive skin, but how well they work can vary from person to person.

Helps with Anti-Aging

As we age, factors like reduced oil production, collagen breakdown, UV exposure, and lifestyle choices all affect how our skin looks and feels. While we can’t stop the aging process, ingredients like retinoids, antioxidants, and certain peptides have been shown to help slow visible signs of aging.

Madecassoside comes from the super popular skin-soothing ingredient, Centella asiatica. It is one of four active compounds found in the extract of Centella Asiatica.

Madecassoside has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and hydrating properties. It contains fatty acids, amino acids, beta-carotene, and phytochemicals.

One study found using Madecassoside with ascorbic acid helped reduce the signs of aging and improved skin hydration.
