CENTELLIAN 24 Madeca Cream Active Skin Formula — Soin Barrière Expert

At the heart of this formula: TECA 10,000 ppm (standardized extract of Centella Asiatica), a highly purified complex composed of madecassic acid, asiaticoside, and asiatic acid. This active ingredient stimulates collagen synthesis and fights free radicals to strengthen the skin’s structure.

Soluble Collagen (Soluble Collagen): this water-soluble polymer penetrates the epidermis to plump and restore visible density, especially in areas marked by time.

Niacinamide (Niacinamide): both unifying and soothing, it regulates surface melanin and improves skin texture. Combined with adenosine, it provides a smoothing effect validated by anti-aging efficacy tests.

Elastin : an essential structural protein for skin resilience, it compensates for loss of elasticity and maintains the dermal architecture.

Ceramide NP + Phospholipids : this lipid duo strengthens the intercellular cement, limits transepidermal water loss (TEWL), and protects against environmental aggressors (cold, dryness, pollution).

Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid (Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid): thanks to its low molecular weight, it penetrates the upper layers of the epidermis to provide three-dimensional and immediate hydration.

☀️ Morning routine

1. After your essence or serum, take a small amount of Madeca Cream Active
2. Warm the texture between your palms, then apply it all over your face with gentle pressing motions
3. Also spread it on your neck and décolleté with upward movements for a natural lifting effect
4. Let it absorb for 1 minute before your sunscreen: the cream forms a protective film that optimizes the adherence of subsequent products

🌙 Evening routine

1. As the final step, apply a generous amount on clean, toned face
2. Massage with circular motions, focusing on tension areas (forehead, nasolabial folds, eye contour without direct contact)
3. If your skin is very dry or stressed, apply a second thin layer 10 minutes after the first: the Skin Analog Membrane technology encapsulates the active ingredients and prolongs nighttime diffusion

This cream is especially suitable if you have:

• Reactive sensitive skin — TECA and Centella oil form a soothing shield against daily irritations (redness, tightness, post-cleansing discomfort)
• Dry to very dry epidermis — The combination of collagen + ceramide NP + hyaluronic acid restores the hydrolipidic film and maintains hydration for up to 240 hours according to the brand's in vivo tests
• First signs of aging (25-45 years) — Emerging wrinkles, loss of firmness, dull complexion: the formula activates cell regeneration thanks to adenosine and Centella proteins
• Weakened skin post-dermatological treatment — Ideal as a follow-up after peeling, microdermabrasion, or intense sun exposure: it repairs the barrier without an occlusive effect
• Harsh climate (cold, wind, air conditioning) — The patented protective film regulates sebum production in warm environments and limits dehydration in cold conditions

Avoid if : you react badly to citrus essential oils (orange, grapefruit) present in low concentration in the formula, or if you are looking for an ultra-light gel-type texture (this one is rich but non-greasy).

From 24 hours : immediate feeling of comfort, reduction of tightness, and visibly smoothed texture. The protective film forms a breathable barrier against external aggressions.

After 2 weeks : skin density improves, complexion becomes more even thanks to niacinamide, and dehydration fine lines diminish. Elasticity gradually returns.

After 4 to 6 weeks : visible smoothing effect on expression lines (forehead, eye contour), increased firmness around the facial oval. Studies by Dongkook Pharmaceutical report measurable improvement in skin elasticity and resilience after 8 weeks of daily use.

Warning: this cream is not a medical device. It supports the prevention of skin aging but does not replace dermatological treatment in case of confirmed pathology (rosacea, severe eczema, etc.).

Can I use it around the eyes?

Yes, the formula is gentle and hypoallergenic. Tap a tiny amount on the orbital bone without getting close to the mucous membrane. Avoid the mobile eyelid if you have very thin skin.

Is the texture suitable for combination to oily skin?

It is rather rich, designed for dry to normal skin. If you have combination skin, apply it only on dry areas (cheeks, temples) or reserve it for your evening routine. In summer, prefer the Hydra or Calming versions from the Madeca range.

What is the difference with Madeca Cream Time Reverse (Season 7)?

Time Reverse contains retinol and 30,000 ppm of TECA (vs 10,000 here), targeting more established wrinkles. The Active Skin Formula is ideal for daily prevention and barrier repair, without exfoliating actives.

How long does a 50 ml jar last?

Between 2.5 and 3 months with a hazelnut-sized amount (about 0.5 g) morning and evening. If you also apply it on the neck, expect about 2 months of use.

Can it be layered with a retinol serum?

Yes, TECA and niacinamide help buffer potential retinol irritation. Apply your serum, wait 5 minutes, then seal with Madeca Cream. If you’re new to retinol, start with 2 nights a week and monitor your tolerance.

Does the cream contain synthetic fragrances?

No, the scent comes only from essential oils of orange, grapefruit, and lavender. The smell is light, herbal, and fades quickly after application.

CENTELLIAN 24 is the flagship dermo-cosmetic line of Dongkook Pharmaceutical, a South Korean laboratory founded in 1968 and specialized for over 50 years in dermatological research around Centella Asiatica. It all started with Madecassol, a healing ointment based on Centella that became a national bestseller in Korea for five decades — a pharmaceutical legacy that the brand now translates into daily cosmetic care.

The proprietary technology TECAnology is based on the advanced extraction and purification of TECA (Titrated Extract of Centella Asiatica), which represents only 2% of the plant's raw weight. This extreme concentration, encapsulated in patented multi-layer liposomes, allows for gradual diffusion up to 3 layers beneath the epidermis. Each formula undergoes clinical efficacy and hypoallergenic tests, ensuring a standard close to that of a topical medication.

With over 89 million units sold in Korea according to brand data, the Madeca range has established itself as a K-beauty reference for barrier repair and preventive anti-aging care. Entirely made in South Korea, it follows a "24-hour" skincare logic: maintaining continuous effectiveness and skin protection.
