cat's-foot is indeed a magical plant, which can not only remove acne and repair acne marks, but also promote the expression of collagen, which has anti-aging and wound healing effects, as well as anti-inflammatory, anti-oxidation, anti-photoaging and DNA protection. There are also data showing that Centella asiatica can also promote hair growth and prevent hair loss. It really sounds like a versatile ingredient, which can compete with nicotinamide.

1:the composition of Centella asiatica
Centella asiatica is mainly distributed in tropical and subtropical regions in the northern and southern hemispheres, among which Centella asiatica in Madagascar is the most famous.
Centella asiatica contains a variety of bioactive substances and organic components, mainly triterpenoids, polyacetylene, volatile oil and other chemical components. Triterpenoids are effective components with high utilization rate in Centella asiatica, including asiaticoside, madecassoside, and Asiatic acid, madecassic acid. These components are included in the list of cosmetic raw materials available in China, and the molecular structures of triterpenoids are all pentacyclic, As shown in the following figure.

In addition, Centella asiatica also contains many conventional chemical components such as flavonoids, alkaloids, amino acids, fatty acids, sterols, sugars, tannins and polyphenols, and flavonoids and polyphenols are good antioxidants. To sum up, Centella asiatica extract is actually a mixture, which contains various active substances.

 

2: Centella asiatica has anti-aging and wound healing effects.

Studies have shown that Asiaticoside,Asiatic acid and madecassic acid can promote human fibroblasts to secrete more type I collagen in vitro. According to modern medical knowledge, we can know that Collagen I is the main component of collagen in the dermis of skin. Other studies show that madecassoside can promote the production of Collagen I and Collagen III, and madecassoside is the only triterpenoid that can promote the synthesis of Collagen III. According to the latest research, type III collagen is a fibrous collagen composed of three α1(III) chains, which is the main component of many organs and skin extracellular matrix. In infancy, type III collagen is synthesized more, which also proves the secret that the baby will not leave scars after wound healing. To sum up, we can understand why Centella asiatica is bound to be added to anti-aging and wound healing products to play a better role.

In addition, studies have shown that triterpenoids in Centella asiatica extract can reduce acute radiation dermatitis caused by radiation in mice.It can also protect DNA damage and lipid oxidation damage of cell membrane caused by γ -rays in mice. In addition, Centella asiatica can improve the expression level of enzyme and non-enzyme antioxidants at the wound in the early stage of wound healing. In vivo experiments in mice, it is proved that the water-soluble extract and alcohol extract of Centella asiatica have the same anti-inflammatory effect as ibuprofen, and can inhibit the synthesis of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin -6, prostaglandin E2 and cyclooxygenase -1.Centella asiatica after rain

 

Why is it better to use centella asiatica and acne marks?

Many beauty lovers are familiar with Centella asiatica, but often because they don't understand the ingredients of Centella asiatica finished products, it often leads to the opposite effect, such as redness of the skin or no change in acne. Take medical asiaticoside cream ointment for removing acne as an example. In fact, its muscle base component is mainly vaseline, which is also a common raw material of ointment. It has a good effect of locking water and moisturizing, but the bad thing is that it is too moist.
If you often feel greasy on your face and are prone to acne, and then you often use Asiaticoside cream ointment, it is easy to block the sweat channel on the skin surface, which is called stuffy acne.
I don't mean to say that Centella asiatica ointment is bad here, because it does have a certain effect on removing new red acne marks, but it is more suitable for skin with dry skin and not easy to grow acne. Secondly, let's talk about another component of Centella asiatica. Although Centella asiatica has certain effects of clearing away heat, promoting diuresis, detoxifying and reducing swelling, and sensitive skin can also be used, it does not rule out that your skin has a great reaction to it. Compared with the two, I think it should be prioritized that your skin is sensitive to the substrate vaseline or other additives in the ointment, which leads to redness of the skin. Then determine whether it is an allergic reaction of Centella asiatica, and then make adjustments.
We should also recognize that acne marks are divided into two stages:
1. Newborn acne marks, the red marks left on the skin surface just after the acne subsides, mainly due to local telangiectasia and incomplete body function repair. The required ingredients: Centella asiatica and various VC VE, etc.
2. Old acne marks, which disappear for a long time in acne, are brown and dark brown marks left on the skin surface, stimulated by ultraviolet rays or pigmentation, and melanin deposits, which need to be suppressed.
Required ingredients: centella asiatica extract, olive leaf extract and medicinal hollyhock extract.
This will eventually shrink capillaries and reduce pigmentation, thus eliminating acne marks.
Therefore, if you want to solve the problem of acne marks, you can't just choose products containing Centella asiatica. You should strengthen the prevention and intervention of the second stage as much as possible while doing the first stage well. At the same time, it is also necessary to pay attention to the selection of plant ingredients, which can help the skin to absorb and metabolize better and reduce skin irritation and burden.
In addition, moisturizing ingredients such as panthenol, inositol, codeine and glycerin are also needed for soothing and repairing, and further caring skin.
