Pibumi Pibumi Centellusion

PIBUMI's Centellusion line combines centella asiatica ("cica") with hyaluronic acid and skin-type-specific formulations. The flagship products are the Centellusion Sika Cream 3X in three variants: Dry (100 ml) for dry skin, Oily (100 ml) for oily skin, and Lipopolymer (100 ml) for sensitive or barrier-compromised skin. The line also includes the Centellusion Spot Cream (15 ml) for targeted blemish care and the Centellusion Nanosica Acne Cooling Body Wash (500 ml). Multi-piece sets of the Dry Cream (2-pack and 3-pack) make the range practical for stocking up. The Centellusion name merges centella and solution, signalling a formula built around centella as the primary repair active.

PIBUMI Centellusion Line: Skin-Type-Matched Cica Creams and More

PIBUMI's Centellusion range is built around centella asiatica (cica) with a rare feature: the hero Sika Cream 3X comes in three distinct formulas optimised for different skin types. This guide explains the Centellusion complex, helps you choose the right Sika Cream variant, and covers the full product range.

What Centellusion means as an ingredient concept

Centellusion is PIBUMI's name for its centella asiatica complex. The "3X" in the Sika Cream products refers to a triple-strength or triple-compound centella formulation - typically combining multiple centella-derived actives such as asiatic acid, asiaticoside, and madecassoside alongside the raw Centella asiatica extract. These triterpenoid compounds have complementary effects: asiatic acid promotes collagen synthesis, asiaticoside reduces inflammation, and madecassoside supports barrier repair.

The "Sika" in the product names is a romanisation of the Korean pronunciation of cica (centella asiatica). The Centellusion line extends this core complex into skin-type-specific bases, which is uncommon in the centella category where most brands offer a single-formula cream regardless of skin type. This makes PIBUMI's approach more targeted than generic cica creams.

Centellusion Sika Cream 3X Dry 100ml

The Sika Cream 3X Dry (100 ml) is formulated for dry skin. The "Dry" variant uses a richer emollient base with higher levels of occlusive ingredients to prevent transepidermal water loss on skin that has a naturally low lipid barrier. The centella complex is the same across all three variants; the difference is in the moisturising carrier and texture.

Apply as the final moisturising step in a morning and evening routine on dry or dehydrated skin. In cold weather or on very dry skin, you can apply a heavier facial oil or balm on top for additional occlusion. The 2-pack and 3-pack sets of the Dry Cream available in this range offer a cost saving over buying single jars and are practical for consistent daily users.

Centellusion Sika Cream 3X Oily 100ml

The Sika Cream 3X Oily (100 ml) uses a lighter, gel-type or water-gel base suited to oily and combination skin. The oily skin variant provides the full centella complex for barrier repair and anti-inflammatory support without the heavier emollient content that would worsen greasiness or contribute to congestion.

This is the cica cream for skin that breaks out easily and tends to shine through the day. The lighter texture absorbs more quickly than the Dry variant, making it appropriate for morning use under SPF without risking pilling or a heavy finish. Oily-combination skin can use the Oily variant on the T-zone and cheeks across the full face without needing to separate out zones.

Centellusion Sika Cream 3X Lipopolymer 100ml

The Sika Cream 3X Lipopolymer (100 ml) is the variant for sensitive or barrier-compromised skin. Lipopolymers are polymer-lipid hybrid molecules used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic science to improve skin barrier function and drug delivery. In this formulation, the lipopolymer carrier improves the penetration and efficacy of the centella actives while simultaneously providing barrier reinforcement through the lipid component.

This variant suits skin that reacts to most products, skin recovering from procedures like lasers or chemical peels, or skin with persistent eczema or rosacea. The lipopolymer base is less likely to cause irritation than standard emulsifier systems. It is also appropriate for skin that is neither clearly dry nor oily but is consistently reactive to new products - the lipopolymer's gentle mechanism makes it the safest starting point within the three Sika Cream options.

Centellusion Spot Cream 15ml

The Centellusion Spot Cream (15 ml) is the targeted treatment within the PIBUMI lineup, applied directly to active blemishes and post-acne marks rather than spread across the full face. The 15 ml size is standard for spot treatments - small enough to use before the product degrades, and concentrated enough to function as an intensive local treatment rather than a maintenance moisturiser.

Apply after cleansing and toning, directly to the blemish, and before your full-face moisturiser. The centella complex in this spot cream reduces the inflammatory response around an active pimple and supports faster resolution of the hyperpigmentation left after the blemish fades. Consistent spot-cream use over four to six weeks on persistent post-acne marks (not active pimples) provides the best visible results for mark reduction.

Centellusion Nanosica Acne Cooling Body Wash 500ml

The Centellusion Nanosica Acne Cooling Body Wash (500 ml) extends the centella complex into a body wash format targeting acne on the back, chest, and shoulders - areas where acne-prone skin often flares due to sweat, friction, and occluded pores. The "Nanosica" name suggests nano-encapsulated centella actives for enhanced delivery. The "Cooling" element indicates a cooling agent, likely menthol or similar, providing a refreshing sensation on application.

Use in the shower as your main body cleanser, focusing lather time on acne-prone areas. The centella active supports post-breakout repair while the cleansing base removes sweat, excess sebum, and surface bacteria. At 500 ml this is sized for regular daily use. Rinse thoroughly to avoid residue that can clog pores on the back and chest.

Multi-piece sets: Sika Dry Cream 2-pack and 3-pack

The Centellusion Sika Dry Cream 3X is available in a 2-piece set (2x 100 ml) and a 3-piece set (3x 100 ml) alongside the individual jar. The multi-piece sets are the bulk purchase option for consistent daily users who have confirmed the Dry variant is the right formula for their skin. At two to three months of twice-daily use per 100 ml jar, the 3-piece set covers six to nine months of supply.

The 2-pack and 3-pack are only available for the Dry variant in this grid - the Oily and Lipopolymer variants are single-jar only. If you are testing the Centellusion range for the first time, buy a single jar to confirm skin compatibility before switching to a multi-pack. The centella complex is the same across all sizes; the only difference is the purchase quantity.

How to choose between the three Sika Cream variants

Start with the question: does your skin run dry, oily, or sensitive? Dry skin with tightness and flaking: Sika Cream 3X Dry. Oily skin with visible shine and frequent congestion: Sika Cream 3X Oily. Sensitive skin with frequent reactions or a compromised barrier: Sika Cream 3X Lipopolymer. For combination skin, the Oily variant is the safer choice since a lighter formula on combination skin is easier to supplement with a facial oil on dry zones than to manage a rich cream on an oily T-zone.

If you have used other cica creams before without reaction, the Dry or Oily variant is the appropriate starting point based on skin type. If cica or Korean skin care is new to you and your skin tends to react, start with the Lipopolymer variant. All three variants use the same centella complex - the choice is purely about the moisturising base that surrounds it.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

  • Choose based on your skin type: Sika Cream 3X Dry (100 ml) for dry or dehydrated skin, Sika Cream 3X Oily (100 ml) for oily or combination skin, Sika Cream 3X Lipopolymer (100 ml) for sensitive or barrier-compromised skin. The centella complex is the same in all three; only the moisturising base and texture differ. If your skin is sensitive and you are unsure, start with the Lipopolymer variant as the gentlest base.

  • The 3X refers to a triple-compound centella complex using multiple centella-derived actives: typically asiatic acid, asiaticoside, and madecassoside alongside the raw Centella asiatica extract. These compounds have complementary effects - collagen support, inflammation reduction, and barrier repair. Using multiple centella compounds together is more comprehensive than a single-compound extract.

  • Lipopolymers are polymer-lipid hybrid molecules used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic science to improve skin barrier function and ingredient delivery. In the Sika Cream 3X Lipopolymer (100 ml), the lipopolymer carrier improves how well the centella actives reach the skin barrier while simultaneously strengthening the barrier through its lipid component. It is the gentlest base option in the three Sika Cream variants and is specifically suited to reactive or compromised skin.

  • Apply the Spot Cream (15 ml) after cleansing and toning, directly on active blemishes or fading post-acne marks. Use a clean finger or cotton swab to press a small amount onto the spot rather than spreading it across the full face. It goes under your full-face moisturiser. On active pimples, it reduces inflammation; on fading marks (not raised pimples), consistent use over four to six weeks supports faster resolution of hyperpigmentation.

  • The Oily variant has a lighter gel-type base that absorbs more quickly than the Dry variant, which makes it less prone to pilling under SPF. Allow the cream to absorb for one to two minutes before applying sunscreen. Avoid applying a thick layer - a thin, even coat over the full face absorbs faster and is less likely to cause issues with SPF layering on top.

  • The Nanosica Acne Cooling Body Wash (500 ml) is specifically formulated for acne on the back, chest, and shoulders. The centella complex supports post-breakout repair while the cleansing base removes sweat and sebum that contribute to body acne. For visible improvement on back acne, use it daily and allow lather to sit on affected areas for 30 to 60 seconds before rinsing. Results on body acne from a wash-off product are gradual - expect four to eight weeks of consistent use before significant change.

  • If you have already used the Sika Cream 3X Dry and confirmed it suits your skin, the 3-piece set (3x 100 ml) is the better value for daily users. At twice-daily application a single 100 ml jar lasts approximately two to three months, so the 3-pack covers six to nine months. For first-time buyers, purchase a single jar first to confirm compatibility before committing to a multi-pack.

  • All PIBUMI products on skinsli are sourced from authorised Korean distributors and imported directly from South Korea. PIBUMI is a Korean cosmetics brand and the Centellusion line is manufactured in Korea. The products arrive with Korean labelling alongside English descriptions, which is standard for Korean cosmetics exported internationally.
