Truecica
Truecica is a patented skincare ingredient developed by South Korean brand Dr. Jart+ that combines Centella Asiatica extract with seven fermented mushroom extracts. It is prized for its soothing and skin-strengthening properties, making it a popular choice in calming serums, creams and masks for sensitive or irritated skin.
How it works in skincare
In cosmetics and skincare Truecica works by delivering a concentrated blend of madecassoside and other centella-derived compounds alongside fermented mushroom filtrates to help reinforce the skin barrier and calm visible redness. The fermentation process is believed to enhance the bioavailability of the active molecules, allowing the formula to absorb more efficiently and provide a smoother, more comfortable feel on the skin without heaviness.
