What it is

Madecassoside is one of the four key triterpenoid actives isolated from Centella Asiatica. Compared to whole Centella extract, it is a single purified molecule with consistent dosing, often positioned for stronger, more measurable soothing performance. K-beauty brands use it in serums marketed for visible redness and post-treatment care.
