TONYMOLY Houttuynia Cordata Cica Cooling Watery Cream pairs heartleaf with seven types of centella — a lightweight gel cream that cools on contact and comforts skin that runs hot and reactive.
Heartleaf and cica together
Houttuynia cordata is one of the most popular calming botanicals in Korea, and it appears most often in formulas for skin that’s oily and easily provoked at the same time. The EXO-Cica complex of seven centella extracts backs it up.
Menthol and erythritol for the cooling
Erythritol is a sugar alcohol that cools as it dissolves — the same principle behind mint’s cool sensation. Together with menthol it gives an immediate temperature drop on application.
A note on menthol
Most people find it refreshing, but menthol is a known irritant for some. If cooling ingredients usually bother your skin, patch test first or choose a non-menthol option instead.
Ceramide oil for the barrier
Heat and sun both stress the moisture barrier. Ceramides are the lipids that barrier is built from, which is why including them addresses the cause rather than only the sensation.
Allantoin to finish
A dependable soothing ingredient that rounds out the calming side of the formula — quiet, unglamorous, and effective.
Watery gel texture
Light enough for hot weather and for skin that already produces plenty of oil. It absorbs cleanly, so it layers under sunscreen without any tackiness.
As the final step of your routine, take an appropriate amount and spread it evenly over the face, patting until absorbed. Use morning and evening. Follow with sunscreen in the daytime. Chill in the fridge for extra cooling on hot days.
The brand’s complex of seven centella asiatica extracts. Centella is the most reliable calming botanical in Korean skincare, and using several forms broadens that effect.
Why houttuynia cordata?
Heartleaf is one of the most popular calming botanicals in Korea, and it turns up most often in formulas for skin that’s oily and easily provoked at once.
What creates the cooling?
Menthol and erythritol. Erythritol is a sugar alcohol that cools as it dissolves — the same principle behind mint’s cool sensation.
Is the menthol too strong for sensitive skin?
Most people find it refreshing, but menthol is a known irritant for some. If cooling ingredients usually bother you, patch test first — or choose a non-menthol cooling product instead.
Why ceramide oil in a cooling cream?
Heat and sun both stress the moisture barrier. Ceramides are the lipids that barrier is built from, so including them addresses the cause rather than only the sensation.
90ml or 100ml — what’s the difference?
The 100ml is the newer renewal version in a slightly larger size. Both share the same heartleaf and cica approach.
