Cica skincare is becoming especially popular for its ability to repair and protect the skin barrier, all the while addressing other concerns like acne, irritations and general sensitivity. Elemis is adding to its Superfood skincare range with two new cica-powered skincare products: the Cica Calm Hydration Juice, which takes the form of an ultra-hydrating gel, and the micellar Cica Calm Cleansing Foam.
While the Cica Calm Hydration Juice helps to deeply hydrate, calm and refresh skin with ingredients like aloe juice, cucumber extract, green mandarin and kiwi fruit water, the Cica Calm Cleansing Foam with rice water, agave, green tea seed oil and a vegan-friendly kefir has the potential to be a beneficial addition to one's skincare routine for its ability to remove makeup and impurities from the skin while still leaving it feeling fresh.
