Centella asiatica — also called cica, tiger grass, or gotu kola — is a calming plant extract packed with madecassoside and asiaticoside. It soothes redness, repairs a damaged barrier, calms acne and sensitivity, and speeds healing. For Bangladesh's heat, pollution and acne-prone skin, it is close to a perfect ingredient — which is why "centella serum" is one of the highest-volume skincare searches in the country.

Make sure it is authentic
SKIN1004, Anua and COSRX centella products are widely faked in Bangladesh. A fake can be watered-down or contaminated — the opposite of soothing.
