Round Lab Pine

Centella asiatica (cica) is the calming anchor of this line. It contains madecassoside and asiaticoside, which reduce skin inflammation, support collagen synthesis, and accelerate barrier repair. Pine extract brings additional antioxidant protection through procyanidins and bioflavonoids - compounds that scavenge free radicals and reduce secondary inflammation caused by environmental damage.

Together, the pine-cica combination covers two aspects of skin sensitivity: cica targets the inflammatory response directly, while pine tackles oxidative stress that often precedes or amplifies inflammation. This dual approach makes the line more effective than a single-ingredient cica formula for reactive or environmentally stressed skin.

The Pine Cica Deep Pore Cleansing Oil at 200ml is the first-cleanse step in the Pine line, designed to dissolve makeup, sunscreen, and sebum-based buildup. Cleansing oils emulsify with water and rinse clean - they do not leave a greasy film when used correctly. The Deep Pore designation means the formula is specifically formulated to draw out pore buildup beyond surface makeup, using the oil phase to dissolve the waxy sebum plugs that form in pores.

At 200ml this product lasts 3-4 months of daily evening use at the typical pump-or-two-per-application volume. Use on dry hands and dry face, massage in circular motions, emulsify with a small amount of water, then rinse thoroughly. Follow with the Pine Calming Cica Cleanser as the second cleanse.

The Pine Calming Cica Cleanser is the second-cleanse step, removing the residue left after the oil cleanser and providing a gentle wash for the skin surface. At 150ml it is a standard face wash volume. The calming positioning means it uses a low-irritant surfactant system - suitable for morning use as a standalone cleanser and as the second step after the cleansing oil in an evening double-cleanse.

For sensitive or rosacea-prone skin, this cleanser offers a meaningful advantage over standard foam cleansers because the cica content supports barrier integrity during washing rather than just stripping and leaving. The skin should feel soft and not tight after rinsing.

The Pine Cica Deep Pore Clay Pack Cleanser combines cleansing and pore treatment in one step. Clay provides absorbent properties - it draws out excess sebum and blackhead-forming oxidized oil from pore openings. The Pack designation means it can be used as a leave-on treatment for 5-10 minutes on the T-zone before rinsing, extending contact time for more thorough pore clearing.

Use this 1-2 times per week in place of the regular Pine Cleanser when the pores need a clearing session. On the remaining days, use the regular Cleanser to avoid over-drying the skin with daily clay use. The cica content in the clay formula reduces the redness that sometimes follows clay mask treatments on sensitive skin.

The Pine Calming Cica Ampoule comes in two sizes - 30ml and 50ml. Both contain the same formula at an ampoule-grade concentration (higher active percentage than the lotion or cream). Ampoules apply as a thin serum layer after toner and before cream, and the Pine Cica Ampoule specifically targets barrier repair and redness reduction at the treatment step where the skin is most receptive to concentrated actives.

Use the 30ml if you want a trial or travel size without committing to the larger bottle. The 50ml provides several months of daily use. On routine days, one ampoule covers the calming treatment step; during a flare-up, layering ampoule under cream gives a higher total cica dose to the skin.

The standard Pine Calming Cica Cream (50ml) is the everyday moisturizer for reactive or sensitive skin - appropriate for morning and evening use without barrier overload. The Cream Plus (60ml) is the enhanced version. The Plus typically indicates either a higher concentration of the key actives (more cica and pine extract per gram), an additional supporting ingredient (often a ceramide or peptide), or an enriched texture suited for drier or more damaged skin.

Start with the standard Cream if your skin is oily to normal and you use the ampoule as a separate step. Move to the Cream Plus if you have dry skin or are going through an extended barrier-damaged period (like winter dryness or post-procedure recovery) and want the cream itself to do more of the repair work.

The Pine Calming Cica Lotion at 250ml is a large-format lotion that sits between toner and serum in Korean routine layering. Lotions (also called emulsions) in Korean skincare are thinner than creams and provide the first oil-in-water layer after the water-based toner. At 250ml the Pine Cica Lotion is the largest product in the line, sized for generous daily use across the face and, if needed, the neck and chest.

The large size reflects the lotion's role as a high-frequency use product - it is applied every morning and evening as a base layer under the ampoule and cream. Using the Pine Cica Lotion in place of a general toner or essence gives the entire routine a calming base before the treatment steps.

The Pine Calming Cica Biocellulose Copac is a 5-sheet mask set using biocellulose as the sheet material rather than standard cotton or fiber. Biocellulose sheets are produced by bacteria and form a gel-like, skin-hugging structure that maintains closer contact with the skin surface than cotton sheets. This improves active delivery - the cica and pine extract in the sheet solution stay in contact with the skin more evenly throughout the treatment session.

Biocellulose masks are typically used 1-3 times per week rather than daily, as the intensive contact time (20-30 minutes per session) provides a more concentrated treatment than a daily lotion or serum. Use after cleansing and toner for a full cica calming session on reactive skin days.

The For Men Pine Calming Cica Lotion is a 200ml all-in-one lotion designed to replace the multi-step routine with a single product. In men's Korean skincare, a lotion that functions as toner, essence, and light moisturizer in one step is the standard format preference. The 200ml size provides 3-4 months of daily use on the face. The cica calming properties apply equally to men's skin - particularly relevant for post-shave irritation and razor-sensitized skin.

After cleansing, apply directly to the face and pat in. No additional steps are needed for a minimal morning routine. For a more complete routine, follow with the Pine Calming Cica Cream Plus for additional barrier support.
