- Abstract
The reparatory capacity of Centella asiatica based on collagen synthesis stimulation and accelerating reconstruction and renewal of the epidermis has been the focus of research in cosmetology. Here we present the efficacy and safety results of a product that has been developed, combining the properties of asiaticoside and asiatic acid contained in C asiatica, in the form of a light-textured and rapidly absorbing cream (Blastoactiva™) particularly indicated for the treatment of damaged skin with altered barrier function. Experimental and human studies have shown the beneficial anti-irritant effect, skin barrier function repair, and epidermal cell renewal enhancing action of the product, as well as great acceptability referred to its cosmetic characteristics, with no allergenic or phototoxic potential. The incidence of sensitive skin due to minimal trauma and irritation is high in women due to erosions of the mammary areoles and nipples during lactation and in female genital lichen sclerosus. In the sensitive skin syndrome, characterized by the presence of subjective symptoms (burning, itching, stinging, pruritus, and tingling sensations) without any clinical signs on the skin, the use of cosmetics that restore the barrier function and decrease the reactivity of sensitive skin is recommended. Repair of the skin after performing nonsurgical aesthetic processes is an example where the use of Blastoactiva™ would be especially indicated.
