Soothe a stressed skin barrier this winter with Fundamentals Skincare’s new Centella Asiatica Gel Moisturiser, designed to deliver lightweight hydration without the heaviness

Winter can be unforgiving on your skin. Cold weather, indoor heating and hot showers often leave complexions feeling dry, tight and uncomfortable. To help restore balance, Fundamentals Skincare has introduced its new Centella Asiatica Gel Moisturiser, a lightweight formula designed to deliver lasting hydration while supporting the skin barrier.

A lightweight moisturiser powered by cica

At the heart of the formula is 1% Centella Asiatica, also known as cica or tiger grass — an ingredient widely celebrated in Korean skincare for its soothing and skin-repairing benefits.

Centella Asiatica contains naturally occurring compounds including madecassoside and asiaticoside, which are recognised for helping calm the appearance of stressed skin while supporting the skin’s natural barrier against environmental aggressors.

It’s an ideal ingredient for winter, when cold temperatures, low humidity and overuse of active ingredients can leave skin feeling irritated.

Hydration with niacinamide and hyaluronic acid

The moisturiser pairs Centella Asiatica with two skincare favourites:

0.5% Niacinamide helps strengthen the skin barrier while improving the appearance of uneven skin tone and texture.
0.2% Hyaluronic Acid attracts and locks in moisture, leaving skin feeling smoother, softer and more comfortable.

Additional ingredients such as glycerin, sodium hyaluronate and dimethicone help boost hydration while reducing moisture loss throughout the day.

The silky gel texture absorbs quickly, making it suitable for layering beneath sunscreen and makeup without pilling.

Why dry skin can benefit from a gel moisturiser

Gel moisturisers are often associated with oily skin, but Fundamentals is challenging that perception.

Its water-based formula delivers intense hydration without the richness of traditional winter creams. This makes it an excellent choice for dry skin that prefers lighter textures, as well as combination skin that needs moisture without feeling weighed down.

For best results, apply morning and evening after cleansing and your favourite hydrating serum. During the day, always finish with a broad-spectrum SPF 30 or higher.

Those looking for an extra moisture boost can pair it with the Fundamentals 2% Hyaluronic Acid Serum or Moisture Boost.

Supporting a stressed skin barrier

When the skin barrier becomes compromised, everyday products can suddenly feel irritating. Common signs include dryness, tightness, redness and rough texture.

Fundamentals recommends simplifying your skincare routine during these periods by using gentle cleansers, reducing harsh active ingredients and focusing on hydration and barrier support.

The new Centella Asiatica Gel Moisturiser fits perfectly into this minimalist approach, delivering essential hydration with a lightweight, comfortable finish.

Build a complete Centella Asiatica skincare routine

The new moisturiser joins Fundamentals’ growing collection of Centella-powered skincare.

The range also includes:

4% Ceramide + 4% Centella Asiatica Serum to strengthen and support the skin barrier.
Inflasoothe Toner, formulated to deliver soothing hydration before serums and moisturisers.

Together, the collection offers a complete skincare routine focused on calming, hydrating and protecting sensitive or stressed skin.
