Description
Anti-Aging Face Cream with TECA
The Centellian24 Madeca Cream Time Reverse is Korea's most recognisable cica cream, made by Dongkook Pharmaceutical — a pharmaceutical company working with Centella Asiatica since 1968.
At its core sits TECA (Titrated Extract of Centella Asiatica): the standardised extract with madecassoside, asiaticoside, madecassic acid and asiatic acid, alongside 12 Centella extracts. Next to it, niacinamide, adenosine, panthenol, Ceramide NP and peptides work on the look of wrinkles, on elasticity and on the skin barrier. The texture absorbs fast and leaves a velvety, plump finish.
What the Measurements Showed

- 35.32% improvement in the appearance of fine lines after 1 week
- +239.10% skin hydration compared to before use, lasting up to 240 hours
The brand presents it as Korea's No.1 derma anti-aging cream* with 97 million units sold. *No.1 best seller within the Centellian24 brand in Korea, based on cumulative sales. Anti-aging here refers to improving the appearance of skin through hydration and elasticity.
