Why centella is more than just a “plant”

To understand why this active ingredient has become so popular in Moldova, we need to look at its composition. Centella extract is a complex blend in which triterpenoid saponins play the main role. They contribute to healthier, smoother, and more balanced-looking skin.

What a high-quality extract contains:

• 24–44% asiaticoside: supports a youthful-looking complexion, stimulates collagen production, and strengthens local skin immunity.
• 34–66% madecassoside: the “rescuers” that help reduce inflammation and the sensation of itching.
• Asiatic acid and madecassic acid: important for repairing the affected structure of the epidermis.

5 superpowers of centella for your skin

Thanks to its rich composition, centella responds to several important skin needs:

1. Fights post-acne marks and scars: the extract helps prevent the formation of marks after acne. If you struggle with post-acne spots, products with centella can support proper skin regeneration and help even out the texture.
2. Deep hydration and reduced redness: centella helps balance the skin’s water-salt balance. It not only supports water retention in the skin, but also helps reduce the appearance of morning puffiness.
3. Intensive healing: scratches, microcracks, or mild irritations, including those caused by sun exposure or peels, may calm down faster.
4. Anti-inflammatory shield: helps reduce inflammation and supports skin balance in cases of irritation and dermatological concerns.
5. Smoothing: by supporting protein synthesis, the skin becomes firmer and more elastic.

Madecassoside is an active ingredient that controls and reduces micro-inflammation in the skin. It supports healing and skin repair by regulating the main cells of the epidermis. It contributes to a younger-looking complexion by stimulating collagen synthesis and repairing damage.

Madecassic acid soothes irritation and inflammation, reduces puffiness, and has anti-inflammatory, regenerating, and protective effects.

Asiaticoside, whose metabolite is asiatic acid, has strong antioxidant activity.

MoonGlow tip: if your skin is prone to breakouts that heal slowly and leave marks, look for Madecassoside or Asiaticoside in the formula. In our store, you can find products with a high concentration of these substances.
