一：Core Summary
Asiaticoside is a signature ingredient of centella asiatica extract, renowned for its outstanding ability to promote wound healing, anti-inflammation, antioxidation and stimulate collagen synthesis. It has wide applications in skin care, wound repair and the medical field
二：Main functions and mechanisms of action
（1）Promote wound healing and scar repair (the most famous effect)
l Stimulate collagen synthesis: By activating fibroblasts, promote the regular arrangement of type I and type III collagen, and increase skin strength and elasticity.
l Promote angiogenesis: Helps provide nutrients and oxygen to the repaired area.
l Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant: Reduce inflammation and oxidative stress at the wound site, creating a favorable environment for healing.
l Regulating growth factors: Affecting the expression of multiple growth factors related to tissue repair.
l Therefore, it is widely used for the repair and improvement of surgical wounds, burns, scalds, acne scars (acne marks and pits), and stretch marks.
（2）Anti-inflammatory and antioxidant
l It can effectively inhibit the production of various inflammatory factors (such as TNF-α, IL-6), and alleviate inflammatory responses in the skin and the body.
l Eliminate free radicals and protect cells from oxidative damage. This makes it have an auxiliary therapeutic effect on inflammatory skin problems such as acne, eczema and dermatitis.
（3）Neuroprotection and cognitive improvement
Traditionally used for “enhancing intelligence”. Modern research shows that asiaticoside can demonstrate protective potential for neurodegenerative disease models such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease through anti-inflammatory, antioxidant and neurotransmitter regulation pathways, and may help improve memory and learning abilities
（4）Skin care (beauty field）
l Anti-aging: By promoting collagen production and antioxidation, it improves skin elasticity and reduces fine lines
l Soothing and calming: Highly suitable for sensitive skin and red skin, it can relieve irritation.
l Moisturizing: Helps strengthen the skin barrier and lock in moisture.
l Improving scars and texture: As mentioned earlier, it is a core ingredient in many scar removal creams and repair essences
（5）Other potential benefits
l Anti-depression and anti-anxiety: Some studies suggest that it may have a regulatory effect on the central nervous system.
l Liver protection: It shows a protective effect against chemical liver injury
l Venous insufficiency: Traditionally used to improve blood circulation and swelling in the legs (in combination with asiaticoside)
三：forms of application
（1）external use
l Skin care products: face cream, essence, lotion, mask, etc., mainly focusing on repair, anti-aging and soothing
l Medicines: Gels, creams, dressings, used for treating burns, wounds, surgical incisions, and scars (such as a compound preparation of silicone gel and asiaticoside)
l Concentration: The common concentration in skin care products is between 0.1% and 2%, while it may be higher in medicines.
（2）to be taken orally
l Oral preparations: In some countries, they are used as prescription drugs or health supplements to promote wound healing or treat venous diseases
l Herbal/Tea: Traditionally, the whole plant of Centella asiatica is used
l Note: Internal use should be done with caution and under the guidance of a doctor or professional pharmacist, as there may be side effects or interactions with the medication
四：The difference from related components
l Centella asiatica extract: It is a mixture containing various components such as asiaticoside and hydroxyasiaticoside, with more comprehensive effects. However, the core activity is often attributed to asiaticoside
l Asiaticoside: It is a hydroxylated derivative of asiaticoside. The two have similar effects and often coexist to work synergically. There is a view that asiaticoside is slightly superior in skin permeability and certain anti-inflammatory properties.
五：summarize
Asiaticoside is the “scientific core” of the restorative power of Centella asiatica. Whether it is for treating scars and wounds on the skin or seeking anti-aging and soothing skin care ingredients, it is an effective choice that has been verified through extensive research. When choosing products, you can pay attention to the ranking and concentration of “Centella Asiatica Extract” (Centella asiatica extract) or the purer “Asiaticoside” (asiaticoside) in the ingredient list。
