The Dr.Different Cica Metal Cream is not named for its texture — the metal is literal. It pairs the centella half — madecassoside and asiaticoside, both isolated rather than left as a vague extract, plus the whole extract underneath — with two metal-bearing actives at the very end of the list: zinc PCA, which moderates oil, and copper tripeptide-1, the repair peptide better known as GHK-Cu. The tube is metal too, which is the first thing Korean reviewers mention when they open the box. Calming dominates the word of mouth around it more heavily than almost any product in the category.
