Centella Anti-Aging: Wrinkle Benefits, How to Use, FAQ

Centella asiatica – also called tiger grass – is a multitasker for signs of skin aging. The actives asiaticoside and madecassoside support collagen, provide antioxidant benefits, and calm redness. Used correctly, Centella helps soften fine lines, strengthen the skin barrier, and make the complexion look plumper and more even. Learn more in our ultimate Centella guide.

How Centella targets skin aging

Centella brings together several anti-aging mechanisms. Triterpenes like asiaticoside and madecassoside promote fibroblast activity, which supports collagen synthesis. More and better cross‑linked collagen can increase skin firmness and visually soften fine lines. At the same time, polyphenolic compounds deliver antioxidant protection: they neutralize free radicals generated by UV and environmental stress that break down collagen. Centella is also anti‑inflammatory—fewer micro‑inflammations mean fewer degradation processes that amplify signs of aging. Another plus: Centella helps reduce transepidermal water loss, leaving skin more hydrated, smoother, and more resilient. More background and specifics: What is Madagascar Centella?

How to use, concentration and skin types

Centella suits most skin types—from dry to sensitive and even blemish‑prone skin. For sensitive skin, look for fragrance‑free Centella formulas such as PURITO Centella (fragrance‑free) – soothing anti‑aging care. Choose a format that fits your routine: ampoule or serum for lightweight, fast‑absorbing care; cream for more comfort. You’ll find light textures with a strong Centella focus in SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella – complete collection. Common naming includes Centella Asiatica Extract, TECA, Madecassoside, or Asiaticoside. Smart pairings combine Centella with barrier supporters like niacinamide, ceramides, squalane, or hyaluronic acid. Apply Centella morning and/or evening after cleansing, then seal with moisturizer. Always use SPF during the day. If you’re sensitive, start with lower frequency and patch‑test first.
