"Some cosmetic creams are more at least in practice than mere beauty products, and no home should be without them. A rich, no frills, multipurpose emollient is essential family kit to support the soothing and healing of scalds, grazes, rashes and any other signs of vexed skin. And what the best ones generally have in common is the inclusion of cica, AKA Centella asiatica or (as it's known in much South Korean skincare) tiger grass."
"Cica creams with SPF are particularly useful, given that injured, broken and postoperative skin is more susceptible to scarring if exposed to UV Cica creams are not medicine, but they are harmless, without side effects in the vast majority of cases and in my professional experience widely endorsed by medical personnel and other experts to safely complement conventional treatments. There is no reason not to have one at the ready."
A rich, no‑frills multipurpose emollient supports soothing and healing of scalds, grazes, rashes and other irritated skin. Many effective formulations include cica (Centella asiatica), a plant with skin‑calming properties that helps restore a compromised skin barrier. Cica creams with SPF reduce scarring risk by protecting injured or postoperative skin from UV exposure. Cica products are not medicines but are generally harmless with minimal side effects and are widely endorsed by medical professionals as safe complements to conventional treatments. Thick, unctuous balms (for example La Roche‑Posay Cicaplast and Avene Cicalfate+) provide immediate comfort and are suitable for family use.
