Centella asiatica is a “medicinal plant that is native to Asia and has been used for centuries in homeopathic remedies, traditional Chinese medicine, and Western medicine,” says Geeta Yadav, M.D., a board-certified dermatologist and founder of FACET Dermatology. It’s also known as “cica” and can be labeled as “tiger grass” or “gotu kola” on products that use the centella asiatica plant in their formula. “Centella asiatica is also an adaptogen, meaning it works with your body to help it function more effectively,” says Dr. Yadav. Adaptogens, FYI, are herbs that adapt to the skin’s needs while helping to protect the skin against environmental aggressors and rebalancing stress-induced skin damage.
