Additionally, its antioxidant-rich composition protects the skin from environmental stressors and supports wound healing, making it practical for treating acne scars and other blemishes. With its ability to hydrate and rejuvenate, Centella Asiatica is a versatile ingredient that enhances overall skin health and radiance.
