Cica for skin

Cica, also known as Centella asiatica or tiger grass, is a plant-derived ingredient known for its soothing properties. Clinique uses cica in hydration-focused formulas to help comfort dry, delicate skin and support its moisture barrier.

Why your skin needs it

Cica’s soothing and healing properties make it highly effective for calming skin that feels dry, sensitive, or easily irritated—whether it appears red, tight, or itchy. It supports the skin’s natural recovery process, helping maintain a more balanced, comfortable complexion.

The Clinique expertise
Clinique leverages Cica (Centella asiatica) for its proven ability to comfort stressed skin. Rich in fatty acids, vitamins, and amino acids, this botanical helps support the skin’s moisture barrier while providing gentle relief from irritation. Our formulas combine Cica with hydrating and barrier‑strengthening ingredients to maximise soothing benefits without overwhelming sensitive skin.

How Clinique uses cica
Clinique uses cica in moisturising formulas created to soothe dry, delicate skin and provide lasting comfort. It can be found in Moisture Surge™ Intense 72H Lipid-Replenishing Hydrator, a rich cream-gel for dry and very dry skin.
