Struggling with Skin Irritation or Redness?

What’s So Special About Houttuynia Cordata + Cica

At the heart of this calming collection are two skin-loving heroes:

  • Houttuynia Cordata – A traditional herbal extract known for its antibacterial and anti-inflammatory benefits. This K-beauty favorite helps reduce redness, calm breakouts, and support the skin’s healing process.

  • Cica (Centella Asiatica) – A go-to for sensitive skin, cica is famous for speeding up wound healing and reducing irritation. It’s like a safety blanket for your skin barrier.

Together, these two ingredients create a powerhouse of calm for stressed-out, acne-prone, or compromised skin.

The Full Routine: Step-by-Step

Whether you use the whole line or choose a few essentials, here’s how to get the best results:

1. Cleanse Gently

Houttuynia Cordata Cica Cleansing Foam

2. Prep with the Toner Pad
