Benefits and Risks of Using Centella Asiatica

Centella asiatica is known for its ability to promote collagen synthesis and reduce inflammation, making it an ideal ingredient for the treatment of red, inflamed, or sensitive skin, says Dr. Yadav. Reminder: Collagen helps strengthen the skin by giving the skin elasticity to prevent wrinkles and replacing dead skin cells. Since centella asiatica promotes collagen production, it’s also considered an impactful ingredient in anti-aging products, according to Dr. Yadav. Centella asiatica has the ability to protect the skin’s molecules from degrading, and the promotion of more collagen helps to prevent wrinkles and keep the skin from sagging.

Centella asiatica extract also has wound-healing properties, which makes it a good ingredient to have on hand for treating cuts and bruises. “Topical formulations [featuring centella asiatica] have been shown to improve wound healing by increasing collagen synthesis and the growth of new blood vessels, while also improving the strength of new skin and inhibiting the inflammatory phase of scars and keloids,” says Jessie Cheung, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist.

Due to its anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidant-rich nature, there is no major risk in using centella asiatica in your skin-care routine. “Side effects are very rare,” says Dr. Yadav. “The most common side effect is an allergic reaction,” which would most commonly present as a rash or irritation on the skin.

Centella asiatica is a “medicinal plant that is native to Asia and has been used for centuries in homeopathic remedies, traditional Chinese medicine, and Western medicine,” says Geeta Yadav, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist and founder of FACET Dermatology. It’s also known as “cica” and can be labeled as “tiger grass” or “gotu kola” on products that use the centella asiatica plant in their formula. “Centella asiatica is also an adaptogen, meaning it works with your body to help it function more effectively,” says Dr. Yadav. Adaptogens, FYI, are herbs that adapt to the skin’s needs while helping to protect the skin against environmental aggressors and rebalancing stress-induced skin damage.
