Ever heard of this ingredient in skin-care products?
in 2017, researchers tested out a fluid containing hyaluronic acid, glycerin, and centella asiatica extract on 20 women’s forearms over the course of 24 hours. One arm got the fluid while the other forearm got a control cream. The researchers measured the hydration level and the amount of water lost throughout the day.
“I think it’s actually encouraging,” Dr. Katta says, “but on the flip side, there just hasn’t been enough research to definitively say that it's than another sensitive skin moisturizer.” After a full six months, the researchers saw that participants had significant improvements in wrinkles, firmness, and hydration. But again, because the cream contained both vitamin C in addition to madecassoside, we can’t say for sure if the centella asiatica extract helped very much.involving human participants looked at whether or not a cream containing asiaticoside, another centella asiatica extract, could reduce the appearance of fine lines around the eyes.
