Description of action
MedMelano CICA Power 51% Centella Essence Regenerating Cream is built on a base of Centella Asiatica leaf water, which accounts for 51% of the composition – a concentration clearly higher than in typical CICA products, where centella extracts form the background of the composition rather than its foundation. Centella Asiatica is an ingredient with documented soothing action, supporting tissue regeneration and strengthening the epidermal barrier.
The proprietary AstaCICA™ complex combines astaxanthin – one of the stronger antioxidants used in cosmetics – with another fraction of Centella Asiatica. The combination of both ingredients strengthens protection against oxidative stress, neutralizes free radicals and accelerates the calming of inflammatory states. The manufacturer's clinical studies indicate a 33% reduction in redness. Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, a derivative of glycyrrhizic acid, has anti-inflammatory and anti-itch effects, inhibiting the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines – which makes the product useful in the care of skin prone to AD and reactive redness.
The composition is complemented by squalane and hyaluronic acid, which are responsible for, respectively, lubricating the skin's lipid layer and hydrating the epidermis. Arginine supports the skin's regenerative functions. The formula contains no colorants; the product is intended both for daily care and as a regenerating preparation used directly after dermatological and aesthetic procedures.

Frequently asked questions
For what skin type is this cream?
The cream is intended primarily for sensitive, reactive, dry, combination and acne-prone skin. It also works well for people with AD, redness and skin requiring regeneration after dermatological procedures.
Is the cream suitable for use directly after procedures such as laser or peeling?
Yes – the product is directly indicated for use after invasive dermatological and aesthetic procedures (laser, peeling, microneedling). It can be used as a regenerating dressing; the detailed post-procedure regimen should be established with a dermatologist or cosmetologist.
At what time of day should this cream be used?
The cream can be used in the morning, in the evening or at both times – daily. If you use it in the morning, remember to apply an SPF cream on top, which is not part of this product.
Does the cream reduce redness?
Yes – the manufacturer's clinical studies indicate a reduction of redness by up to 33%. This effect is primarily due to the AstaCICA™ complex and Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, which soothe inflammatory reactions and neutralize free radicals.
How does the cream work on skin with AD and itching?
The Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate contained in the composition inhibits the secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines, which translates into an anti-itch and anti-inflammatory effect. Squalane and hyaluronic acid additionally support the rebuilding of the skin barrier, which is weakened in the course of AD.
Can the cream be used under makeup?
The cream used in the morning can serve as the last step of skincare before makeup. Once absorbed, it provides a moisturizing and regenerating base – in this order: cream, then SPF, then makeup.
Does the product contain a UV filter?
No – MedMelano CICA Power does not contain UV filters. If you use it in your morning routine, complete your skincare with an SPF cream applied as a separate step.
Is the cream comedogenic and safe for acne?
The product is indicated, among other things, for acne-prone skin – its formula takes into account the needs of this skin. It is not labeled as comedogenic, and the active ingredients (Centella Asiatica, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate) have a soothing effect on the inflammation typical of acne.
