Korean Skincare In Trouble - THE END FOR CENTELLA ASIATICA?

Is this the end for centella asiatica and cica serums - Lets talk the issues in the Korean skincare market going on right now.
Hey guys and welcome back to Mad About Skin where in todays video we are talking centella asiatica and whether the current issues with cica serums is going to impact the korean skincare market and our skincare routines.
When it comes to calming and soothing the skin, centella asiatica is one of the most popular korean skincare ingredients on the market. No korean skincare routine would be complete without cica in it but is all what it seems.
Recently Skin1004 has come under fire for their misleading information around the actual percentage of centella asiatica in their skincare serums and whether we are actually getting as much cica as we think.
In this video we are talking all about the recent centella skincare scandal and how this is going to impact our skin care routines. I will also share with you the best centella serum when it comes to soothing and calming the skin.
I would love to know your thoughts on this issue so please let me know in the comments and share with me your centella before and after results.

Hey guys and welcome to todays video where we are talking some of the recent issues with centella serums.. what do you think to this, let me know in the comments below.. love you all x

[@HawraAainLife]

@@MadAboutSkin I think you should do centella , haruharu and beauty if joseon cleaning oil review side by side means compare each of them and which type of skin suits which one do this also .

[@albenadzh]

Please, could you link your sources of information? Thank you!

[@celestialstar124]

Get your facts correct. It's discovered by Loreal before Korean use it. That more than 2 decades ago or at latest 20 years ago. You didn't know the fact talk as if it's a fact that cica only enter the west for only 5 years. Now i am wondering if i can even trust your information provided for all your past contents. It's easy to verify my claims with Google and those who use loreal skincare may remember the description mentioning a grass the tiger use to apply to it's wound.

[@celestialstar124]

That loreal product is revital lift. More than 20 years ago loreal already mentioned this ingredients. At that time k beauty wasn't even huge in Asia. Also loreal know how to give credits to ancient China who originally use it for centuries and mentioned in their herbalist book that was pass down by the tcm. Getting goose bumps when hear you keep mentioning multiple times transparency in this video. Please do enough homework before commenting as if it's a fact. Or simply say you are not sure in your future video contents if you really don't know. Don't talk like it's a fact and you are absolutely right when you provide incorrect information. Also invest enough homework for each content instead of creating multiple contents for view sake so you can earn money. Quality is more important than quantity. Some fans just blindly trust the information provided by your channel because they trust you. And been doing it for years.

Rosacea, sensitive skin types centella asciatica are best friends. I will never be without it. My true love ♥️

[@MadAboutSkin]

Yay I am so so glad its working so well for you.. sending you lots of love x

[@Emgee78]

My skin's been thriving ever since I started using Korean skincare products with Centella Asiatica, whatever the amount.

[@MadAboutSkin]

oh amazing and it works so well even in lower amounts. love x

[@kateconkey5834]

😅

[@lululee1653]

Same! Night and day difference

[@KismetKat11]

Same here. I use the skin 1004 product with my Tretinoin and it helps keep my skin from getting to dry and from stinging.

[@jenniferh.7219]

To each his own. I don't think it's the holy grail or not always as necessary for everyone bc everyone does not have the same skin issues etc. I believe for others with different needs a combo of other actives are more salient or effective for them where centiella is just meh. It's like you see commericals talking about 'beet root' powder, the benefits of internally - beet root powder does sh*t for me and I feel weird / I'll inside. The same with what I call fake sugars - I include Splenda stevia monkfruit as fake alt sugars. Although I know they are natural whenever I do run across them I get ill consuming them- monk fruit especially takes like sh*t to me - all these sugars taste makes me want to throw up. All of this is to say to each his (or her etc) own. Everything is not for everybody

[@briana5002]

I think in all fairness to the brands, they were incentivised to do this because of consumers always thinking a higher percentage is better when it is not necessarily so. Really high percentages of actives or plant extracts can be irritating, but consumers are always looking for the highest percentages. I'm glad the regulation has changed, but personally I wouldn't blame any individual brand as if one brand said 100% and they said 5%, they wouldn't get sales

[@MadAboutSkin]

How are you hun, I do think this is some part of it for sure.. love x

[@sforzando]

Agreed - from another perspective though, I was actually avoiding the skin1004 centella serum because I was like... "that high of a percentage will fuck me up for sure!" But knowing that the percentage is a lot lower now makes me a little more inclined to try it out, especially since i like their centella ampoule foam cleanser so much

[@thai8020]

❤❤Thank you, I’ve been looking for a good cica serum & unfortunately a lot of them have niacinimide or essential oils, which really irritate my sensitive skin!

[@MadAboutSkin]

My pleasure hun and sending you so much love x

[@Denise-ki9ii]

When the video opened I thought what a lovely shirt. So laughed when you asked if viewers found it garish…it isn’t at all. I have the Skin 1004 serum and use it with my vitamin C - it is a generous size bottle so lasts for ages. The fact it said extract it was pretty obvious it was diluted…but as I have sensitive skin I don’t mind less concentrated serums. I do agree clearer labelling is an improvement though.

[@daniellemills5230]

Thanks for this informative video Rob! I for one am delighted by this development. As you said, complete ingredient lists are essential for those of us with sensitivities to certain product components. Hopefully it won't take too long for companies to update their websites to reflect these changes. I will definitely be checking out the Vegreen serum. Love your shirt btw!🦩

[@CRCC830]

if anyone is still interested in centella, the brand One Thing’s 100% centella toner is really nice. it’s naturally brown/tea colored and even has a natural smell reminds me of the I’m From Mugwort which i thought was a little too overpriced for what it is

[@CRCC830]

my favorite calming products: • numbuzin 1 calming toner • numbuzin 4 sos sheet mask • dr g blemish sheet mask all of these get rid of minor redness, and helps stop irritated skin that feels like it’s about to break out (which happens to me a lot by end of the day)

[@monaangelavargas1241]

Transparency in skincare is always a good thing. So the new SK regulation is a welcome development. I have been using the skin1004 centella ampoule (the entire line, in fact) continuously for about 2 weeks now and my skin is liking it. It's definitely effective in calming my sensitive, redness-prone skin. I never really believe that it's 100% centella extract. No skincare product is 100% of any thing. But the formulation, the mixture of whatever ingredients are there, is obviously good because it works well on my skin. So I will continue using my skin1004 centella ampoule. 😊

[@MadAboutSkin]

Thank you so much for watching and sharing your thoughts x

[@celestialstar124]

Indeed no skincare is 100% even if it's pure water it needs preservative in it.

[@kbykell]

This reminds me of an old cosrx bha liquid controversy. They used different sources of salicilic acid to get over korean regulation.. they couldnt go above 2%, but they put into the product a salix alba extract that had alot of salicilic content on it.. + betaine salicilate + salicilic acid. The serum was stroooong.. i even got skin rashes from it. I told people it had more acid than expected hidden into the formulation and people didnt believe, soon after korean FDA got the product checked and they had to change everything and also call back the serum.

[@jenniferh.7219]

Thank you for letting us know about this. I just ordered a knock off of it on Temu lol, where I have never used any type of aha glycolic etc mask before on my skin. I will have to test and watch how i use it bc now I know there can be an adverse reaction due to different amounts of elements. I have never used the original or anything like it before i just use natural oils like coconut oil olive oil etc on my skin, so from what you shared i now know to be careful

[@fuchsin7066]

@@jenniferh.7219 I would never ever use any temu product on my body. You never know if it is safe. There is no regulation or control.

[@celestialstar124]

​@@jenniferh.7219pay attention to China product as their SA content can be much higher than stated. My sis end up in hospital after using China live stream cerave. She already using cerave since young so didn't expect such serious skin issues. I even seek loreal help regarding my sis issue and loreal request for the cerave cleanser my sis use to test. Find it contain more than 10% SA. If i remember correctly is 13.X%. Thankfully it's cleanser not cream or serum that stay on skin for longer duration.

[@celestialstar124]

​@@fuchsin7066you are partially correct. Most China products are not regulated at all. Even regulated, company can bribe their way for approval. But i do use lots of China products that was recommended and use by China people living in China. I only trust products my own friends and family members recommend. Plus i verify by their self taken photo of the product. Never ever trust China livestream host claims or even celebrities claim as some celebrities was charged multiple times for endorsing bad quality products for money sake.

[@Elizabeth_WWG1WGA]

Hi Rob, just wanted to take a moment to say a huge THANK YOU for this video. I have bought over ten bottles of the skin1004, and I feel very misled. I actually reached out to them just a few days ago asking what percentage was in the serum and they were very vague with their answer and didn’t bother to give a percentage amount. So thank you so very much for letting us know the actual percentage, because obviously I was not going to ever get a straight answer from the company itself. BRAVO to you for putting out such great content. You’re the best!! Much love to you 💕

[@MadAboutSkin]

Oh thank you so much hun and I am so glad the video was useful.. its a shame in 2024 brands cant be more transparent with us as there is nothing to hide.. love x

[@Monika-dy4zc]

I do not quite agree with the percentage discussion. Even in a 100% extract from something there are different parts of theat something. For instance, freshly pressed orange juice. 100% no added water or sugar. Right? Yet, if you want to break it down you have so much water, super, natural color, vitamins etc. Still it is a 100% orange juice.

Vegreen is my go to since day one, since I started taking an interest in my skin care - which is because I stumbled upon the Mad About Skin channel. Now that being said: I'm an equestrian in Ohio and typically covered in dust. If the Vegreen is working I have no idea. I'm always red and irritated! But that doesn't matter. What matters to me is the outstanding advocacy that the Mad About Skin channel provides to the public. Rob is a caring man and an ethical man and his content is of the highest quality. Love you Sir. All of us over here in the hunter jumper community adore you. Big smooch.

♥ My skin LOVES centella, no matter what percentage. Recently I bought the mini kit of the new Purito Seoul Wonder Releaf Centella Unscented line and I think in that, I found a new favourite. (Even the packaging is my alltime favourite colour!) The serum is my absolute favourite of this line. Your story about the serum from SKIN1004 was indeed an eyeopener and a, just in time(!), VERY good tip for me, as I have a 30ml bottle on the way to me for soothing my irritated scalp which, in general, is NOT happy with glycerine (which is even two steps higher on the ingredients list than the centella extract!). So thanks SO much for this video, Rob! ♥ PS: I hope the party was awesome. 😊🦩

[@nickimontie]

❤ My skin barrier had some issues recently. I had the Skin 1004 toner and the Mary&May centella mask, but even those caused stinging. So I got the Avene Cicalfate Restorative Barrier cream and Dr. Jart Ceramidin cream. Those two together healed my issues with a few days. But I will use my toner and masks as long as my skin tolerate it! And I will always keep a tube of Avene Cicalfate handy.

❤ Great information, it's good to know how little Cica is needed to enhance the benefits of Vitamin C. I currently have the large Skin1004 Cica Ampule and have ordered a sampler set that contains the Pore Minimiser ampule as I just used the last of the MAS Peptide. Honestly, the large sizes are so economical that I'm tempted to use them as body products. However, I think I'll order a bottle of the Veegreen to trial and then keep a bottle on hand for first aid emergencies. I've accepted the fact that I'll always need products on hand for when life doesn't go according to plan.❤

Hey hun, how are you? I agree with you the size of the skin1004 products is amazing and make them almost like a body product for sure.. love x

❤ I love centella asiatica! My favorite serums are by cosrx and purito, but I love the skin1004, too. I'll keep using it. Yes, it's a shame that they were not completely up front simply because they weren't legally required to do so. Still, it's a good product. I have eczema, and my skin loves cica. I will try the vegreen serum.

[@MR-lx3tq]

❤ I didn’t think I’d be saying this today, “Yea for regulations!” I still love Skin1004’s various ampoules, especially the brightening one. It’s the one with suspended bubbles. It’s been great for my eczema flare ups, and everyone from my hubby to my 12 yr old love it when their skin feels upset. Thank you Mad About Skin for introducing it to us and for explaining all the chatter about the South Korean regs change, super helpful. ❤

First of all, love the shirt! I always thought the centella extract would be something like this, not only a product can't be made without any preservative, but probably rubbing 100% concentrated anything on the skin is going to be very irritating, and also to be that liquid it must contain water. I'm glad we now get to see exactly what is inside, though...

❤ I was part of a test program for the Skin 1004 Centella serum and I've repurchased since. It's super lightweight and soothing for me. I use it as a day serum after Rx Tretinoin at night.

[@MadAboutSkin]

I love it and it works well for me.. I wish they were a little more transparent thats all but that must have been so cool to be part of the test program.. love x

Love love love centella. Just reordered the PURITO B5 panthenol re-barrier cream. Its amazing. I layer it on top of a bifida ampoule. ❤

[@MadAboutSkin]

thank you so much hun.. sending you lots of love x

It would be very hard to be parted from my Skin 1004 brightening ampoule…. and I know you think I can get my hands on any skincare brand here, for some reason Vegreen is not one of them!😢 Three days to go till I land in the UK !😊. So excited to see mum, daughter and family but also excited to unbox all the stuff I’ve ordered to mum’s. I think I’m most excited about the K-Secret multi balm! 😅

[@MadAboutSkin]

OMG I love the brightening one hun and I think it actually contains more centella than this one (or very similar) so a very good option for everything.. The UK cant wait to have you back hun and the weather is supposed to get better from the weekend so you have timed it well :) love x

[@rosey4353]

There's a video in Stylekorean where they highlighted Skin1004 and interviewed someone from the company. She did mention about their 100% Centella ampoule. I wonder if you watched it and your comment on it. Love your shirt by the way. X❤X❤

[@MadAboutSkin]

Thank you so much hun and I will check that one out.. love x

[@lorainemcgillivray77]

Hi Rob ❤centella or cica, but I always look for the active compounds anyway as they have the strongest benefits. I have never used the serum shown for that reason. Centella is far from the only ingredient that this is done with eg mugwort/artemisia is another very common ingredient for this marketing. Different legislation in different countries is something to be aware of if we want to use products from there and skin1004 were far from the only brand doing this. There is a brand completely based on this type of marketing with “single ingredient” products in the whole line. This won’t really affect me too much as I was using more complex INCI lists anyway. Best wishes x

[@robinmagdahlen2721]

❤️ I have other products that I can use instead but I do like to use it for a variety of uses. The ordinary uses central in the Stress Less serum which I use the neutralize my skin after vitamin ca so that I can add my copper peptides.

[@carladuglin4036]

As a side note, Rob's coper peptide serum is encapsulated and can be used w literally anything.

[@MadAboutSkin]

Such a great point.. its a great balancing ingredient for sure.. love x

[@MadAboutSkin]

Thank you so much hun and good point - encapsulation for the win :) love xx

[@chariots8x230]

I’m thinking of trying Centella, since people say it’s good for sensitive & rosacea skin. Can you also recommend some skincare products that contain “oats”, and are formulated for sensitive skin? Oat water has been very useful for soothing my skin, so I wanted to find a skincare product that uses this ingredient. However, I have very sensitive & reactive skin, so I cannot tolerate ingredients like hyaluronic acid (which unfortunately is being put on almost every skincare product), as well as other ingredients that may be drying or irritating to the skin such as alcohol and fragrance. I find that a lot of skincare products irritate my skin or dry it out to the point where it feels tight to move my face. Unfortunately, I can’t even use a moisturizer to counter this dryness either because my skin hasn’t liked moisturizers very much whenever I’ve tried them. I’m trying to find some skincare products that my skin will accept, but it has been difficult to find anything that will target my skin issues and most importantly that my skin will accept.

LOVE THE SHIRT 😍

[@lafelixbr]

I think Vegreen cica serum is equalilly misleading as skin1004. Vegreen just mention about 70% centella asiatica water, but does not mention how much of the active ingrdients is in the water. The concentration of the active ingredients are a question mark as well?

[@4to_theFlow]

Love the summer vibes!

❤ - I panicked a little when I saw the video title! I just bought 5 items from Skin1004 at Winners and just started incorporating it in my everyday routine. And I watch your videos while I am doing my nighttime routine, so I was about to apply it when I started this video. So far my skin loves it so I am going to keep using it.

[@kadriadrian]

Interesting topic! Centella asiatica is actually my favorite ingredient from Korean skincare. I`m currently using Skin1004 Madagascar Centella Probio-Cica Intensive Ampoule, with centella as a first ingredient in the ingredients list, so I do hope it is not just 5%. What is your opinion about Mary & May Centella Asiatica Serum? They are still adveritsing that it contains 95% centella asiatica extract. Are the new regulations already in effect? Can I trust that it is 95% centella? What do you think?

[@rehab2see]

I love the blue shirt with pink flamingos. ❤

Their oil cleanser saved my dry skin when nothing else would. I love it. I was so worried you were going to say it was bad for your health or something.

Oh no there is nothing wrong with it, just maybe a little on the misleading side but I say if I works for you then keep on using it for sure x

Fun Fact, the pronounciation of 1004 in korean(cheonsa) is the same as the korean word for angel, so the brand is actually called "Skin angel" :) I thought that's super cute! Thanks for the great video, I haven't tried this product from them actually, but their Centella Asiatica Cleansing Oil might be my favourite Cleansing Oil. Probably not a lot of Centella Asiatica in that lol, but for some reason it is just so gentle but also leaves my skin super clean and non irritated. I might have to have a look at that product you recommended :D

[@MadAboutSkin]

oh I didnt know that but I love that fact so thank you so much for sharing and like you say super cute :) love xx

Cica has been ok for my sensitive skin with papopustular rosacea (also hyperpigmentation prone). The only product I have it in now is the Regimen Lab Wave Serum in the form of TECA (Centella Asiatica Pentacyclic Terpenes). I just ordered the whole kit due to a sale. Fingers crossed.
