Soothing meets strengthening — calm, repair, and protect the VINR way.
If your skin feels irritated, dry, or reactive, chances are your skin barrier is compromised.
The solution isn’t aggressive actives — it’s healing ingredients that calm inflammation and rebuild the barrier from within.
That’s where Centella Asiatica (Cica) and Ceramides come together — the ultimate K-Beauty duo for strong, calm, and hydrated skin.
🍃 What Is Centella Asiatica (Cica)?
A centuries-old herb native to Asia, Centella Asiatica is known as the “miracle plant” for wound healing and inflammation control.
It’s packed with madecassoside, asiatic acid, and asiaticoside — compounds that soothe, repair, and restore balance.
💚 Key Benefits of Centella:
-
Soothes irritation & redness: Instantly calms inflamed or stressed skin.
-
Boosts collagen: Supports firmness and repair for smoother texture.
-
Antioxidant power: Protects against pollution and UV-related damage.
-
Strengthens the barrier: Prevents moisture loss and sensitivity flare-ups.
VINR Inspiration: Our barrier-repair formulations take cues from Cica’s soothing properties for calm, radiant skin every day.
🧱 What Are Ceramides?
Ceramides are lipids naturally found in your skin barrier — think of them as the glue that keeps skin cells together.
When ceramide levels drop (due to pollution, harsh products, or over-exfoliation), your skin becomes dry, flaky, and sensitive.
💦 Key Benefits of Ceramides:
-
Rebuild barrier function: Seal micro-cracks that cause dehydration.
-
Lock in moisture: Prevent transepidermal water loss (TEWL).
-
Reduce redness: Calm irritation from actives or weather changes.
-
Improve texture: Leave skin smooth, soft, and resilient.
🌸 Why Ceramides Work So Well Together
Centella soothes and reduces inflammation, while Ceramides seal and reinforce the skin barrier.
It’s like a two-step healing mechanism — one ingredient comforts, the other strengthens.
