"Given the reparative and regenerative properties of centella, cica creams are being touted to help acne-prone skin, wound healing, sensitive skin types, and to dramatically help with fine lines, sun damaged and dull skin," says Klein. "Cica creams are also thought to help increase elasticity and firmness of the skin, as well as strengthening the skin barrier to decrease visible signs of aging. Thus, they are thought to be helpful for more skin types." Lortscher points out, however, that there haven't been any clinical studies done on humans to prove cica's effectiveness.
