In a world of beauty products that promise glowing results, it can be tough to find the right fit for sensitive skin. One key ingredient that we’ve been loving is centella asiatica. This powerhouse herb has been used for centuries in traditional medicine for its healing properties and skincare benefits. Here are some of our favourites for soothing and calming sensitive skin.
SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Light Cleansing Oil
This award-winning, hypoallergenic skincare brand boasts some of our staples for a reason. Say hello to a deep cleanse that doesn’t strip your skin of its natural moisture. This gentle yet effective cleansing oil is a joy to use and absolutely made for sensitive skin.
COSRX Centella Water Alcohol-Free Toner
This gentle and hydrating toner soothes and calms skin while restoring its natural balance. We’re happy to note this toner is formulated without alcohol. It effectively removes residual impurities and prepares the skin for better absorption of subsequent skincare products. A dream!
Mixsoon Soondy Centella Asiatica Essence
Don’t let the cutesy bottle fool you! This product is packed with skin-loving benefits. It’s designed to revitalise, formulated with a high concentration of centella asiatica extract. The lightweight and fast-absorbing formula is great for sensitive skin, delivering intense hydration and nourishment.

We love a good vegan formulation (read about our favourite clean beauty brands here!). This hydrating serum is an easy way to boost your existing skincare routine. Just a few drops before your moisturiser and you’ll be good to glow.
Dr. Jart+ Cicapair Sensitive Skin Moisturizer For Redness
We cannot have a list of top centella asiatica skincare products without including the OG of them all — Dr. Jart. Their #1 cream is silky smooth and supercharged; deeply comforting for sensitive skin. We cannot recommend this enough!
