Optimal hydration is the base for healthy and resiliant skin, regardless of your skin type and what products you are using for the rest of your skincare. It's very important to choose your everyday moisturiser carefully, because it is the essential step in your routine. This is why we have formulated CICA-CERA, a supercharged rescue cream intended for all skin types, especially unbalanced and dehydrated skin.

CICA-CERA is a cream that covers all your requirements when choosing the perfect moisturiser.

Why?

  • Because it contains an ideal ratio of lipids and humectants
  • It has a rich, but non-greasy texture
  • At the same time, it hydrates, nourishes, preserves barrier function and soothes the skin
  • It is great for combining with acids and retinoids
  • It is highly tolerable even on the most sensitive skin
  • It solves the problem of dehydrated skin prone to flaking 
  • It is suitable for skin prone to inflammatory processes (acne, dermatitis, post-inflammatory erythema)

Formulation

In this cream, we combined the best of CICA complex with ceramides and intense humectants that your skin simply adores.

CICA complex consists of Centella asiatica (also known as Gotu kola and Tiger Grass), an ingredient used to treat inflamed and sensitive skin since mid-19th century in traditional Asian medicine, but also madecasosside, madecasic acid, asiaticoside and asiatic acid. This complex of ingredients acts in synergy, reducing inflammatory skin conditions, itching and burning sensation, as well as redness, which is manifested by a weakened barrier function, and it also helps in wound healing.

In addition to CICA complex, plant ceramides (ceramide AP, ceramide NP and ceramide EOP + phytosphingosine) have been selected for this cream, because they have a unique ability to protect and restore barrier function, restore skin resistance and prevent transepidermal water loss. Ceramides are lipids that healthy skin produces naturally and are one of the most important components of the natural protective barrier. As their levels decline with age, it's extremely important to replace them in mature skin care. Along with ceramides, cholesterol of plant origin is another significant lipid in this formulation that contributes to a healthy looking skin.

The addition of Tazman pepper ™ complex is especially important for sensitive skin types, because in a clinically effective concentration of 1% it has a beneficial effect and reduces skin reactivity. Colloidal oatmeal is another star ingredient, because it protects the skin from irritation.

Glycerin, hyaluronic acid, amino acids, 5% panthenol and betaine were selected to intensely hydrate and soften the skin.

An extra special benefit of CICA-CERA cream are extracts rich in prebiotics (inulin) which strengthen the microbiome of our skin, thus making our skin balanced and resistant.

CICA-CERA is very gentle, nourishing and fast-absorbing. It combines the best of everything we have learned through theory, perfected in practice and felt on our own skin. CICA-CERA will help prevent dehydration, immediately soothe and nourish the skin and strengthen its barrier function to make it balanced and resilient. With this cream you will get to know a healthier version of your skin. We promise.
