Centella Green Level Buffet Serum
Reviewed by SerumTruth Editorial · Updated July 2026
A genuinely high-percentage centella serum at an easy price, and the headline claim holds up on the label. The niacinamide addition is sensible if underdosed, and the peptide quartet is dressing more than a real second active. Judge it as a strong, well-priced soothing serum, not a multi-tasking peptide treatment.
- Evidence19 / 30
Strength of the research behind the key actives
- Centella Asiatica (Cica): moderate evidence
- Niacinamide: moderate evidence
- Matrixyl 3000: moderate evidence
- Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12: limited evidence
The average of the key actives’ evidence grades.
- Potency21 / 25
Dosed at studied levels, not fairy-dusted
- Centella Asiatica (Cica) (49%): dosed at a clinical, high-end level for its category
- Niacinamide: dosed at a studied level
- Matrixyl 3000: below the 1% line, treated as fairy-dusted
- Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12: below the 1% line, treated as fairy-dusted
How strongly the actives are dosed, led by the strongest, not how many there are.
- Delivery & stability16 / 20
Delivery tech + packaging that protects fragile actives
- Delivery: standard
- Packaging: airless, opaque
- No fragile actives here, so packaging barely moves the score.
Delivery tech plus packaging, and packaging only counts when actives are fragile.
- Formulation5 / 10
Disclosure, active breadth, and ingredient generation
- 1 of 4 actives disclose a concentration
- 4 key actives (breadth credit caps at 3)
- Current-generation or synergistic: Matrixyl 3000, Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12
Disclosure, active breadth, and current-generation or synergistic actives.
- Value15 / 15
What a month of use costs vs. the category
- About $5 per month to use
- $18 for 60 ml, used about twice a day (about 0.3 ml each time), so a bottle lasts about 3.3 months

What’s inside
| Active | Disclosed | Dose |
|---|---|---|
| Centella Asiatica (Cica) | 49% | Clinical |
| Niacinamide | n/a | Studied |
| Matrixyl 3000 | n/a | Below 1% line |
| Palmitoyl Hexapeptide-12 | n/a | Below 1% line |
A 49% centella asiatica extract serum, with asiaticoside, asiatic acid and madecassoside all separately listed as its named triterpene fractions, plus niacinamide sitting early in the ingredient list at an undisclosed but plausibly 2 to 4% level, in an opaque green pump bottle. The same Matrixyl 3000 pairing used elsewhere in this catalog (palmitoyl tripeptide-1 and palmitoyl tetrapeptide-7) turns up here too, alongside palmitoyl hexapeptide-12 and palmitoyl dipeptide-10, but all of them sit near the end of the label, after preservative boosters like caprylyl glycol, so they read as a marketing bonus rather than a dosed second active. It is built for the appearance of a calmer, less-reddened complexion with a supporting hand from niacinamide for tone. Nothing here is fragile, so the opaque pump is a reasonable, not essential, choice.
How it’s delivered
Air- and light-sensitive actives (vitamin C, copper peptides) lose potency fast in the wrong packaging, so delivery and the bottle are scored, not just what’s on the label.
