What is Cica Calendula Cream?
The Veridique Cica Calendula Cream is a specialized Korean skincare product designed to provide intense calming, hydration, and barrier care, particularly for sensitive and delicate skin. This non-irritating, fragrance-free cream is formulated with a high concentration of Calendula Flower Extract (often as high as 65%), renowned for its soothing, anti-inflammatory, and hydrating properties. It also prominently features Cica (Centella Asiatica) extract, a powerful ingredient known for its ability to soothe irritation, promote healing, strengthen the skin barrier, and reduce redness. Together, these key ingredients work to instantly hydrate and calm the skin, without leaving an oily or greasy residue, making it ideal for those with dry, sensitive, or allergy-prone skin.
Benefits & Ingredients of Cica Calendula Cream
- Centella Asiatica Extract (Cica): Rich in compounds like asiaticoside and madecassoside, Cica soothes inflammation, promotes collagen synthesis, accelerates healing, and strengthens the skin barrier.
- Portulaca Oleracea Extract: This botanical extract contributes further soothing, antioxidant, and anti-inflammatory benefits.
- Niacinamide (Vitamin B3): A versatile ingredient that brightens skin tone, improves barrier function, and reduces redness.
- Squalane: An effective emollient and antioxidant that forms a protective moisture barrier.
- Ceramide Complex: Essential lipids that help protect, moisturize, and enhance skin elasticity, contributing to a healthier, more resilient barrier.

How To Use Cica Calendula Cream
- Cleanse Your Face: Start with a clean face. Use your preferred facial cleanser (like the Bellalussi HG Facial Foam Cleanser) to remove impurities, dirt, and makeup.
- Tone (Optional but Recommended): After cleansing, you can apply a toner to balance your skin’s pH and prepare it for subsequent products.
- Apply Serums (Optional): If you use any treatment serums (e.g., for brightening, anti-aging), apply them before your cream.
- Dispense Cream: Take an appropriate amount of the Veridique Cica Calendula Cream. A pea-sized to a dime-sized amount is usually sufficient for the entire face, but you can adjust based on your skin’s needs and the product’s consistency.
- Apply to Face and Neck: Gently dot the cream across your forehead, cheeks, nose, chin, and neck.
- Gently Massage: Using your fingertips, gently massage the cream into your skin in upward and outward motions. Ensure even coverage across your face and neck.
- Allow Absorption: Give the cream a moment to fully absorb into your skin before moving on to the next step (like sunscreen in the morning or going to bed at night). It should absorb without leaving a greasy residue.
