January 2018 in “Chiang Mai University Journal” This study found that while the EtOAc fraction of Centella asiatica had the highest antioxidant activity, it was toxic to human follicle dermal papilla cells, but the EtOH crude extract promoted hair growth by enhancing VEGF expression.
November 2025 in “Cosmetics” In this exploratory randomized controlled trial, participants using a combination of Centella asiatica-derived extracellular vesicles with recombinant growth factors showed significant improvements in hair thickness, density, length, and reduced hair loss and scalp sebum content after 56 days, compared to placebo.
September 2025 in “medRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)” This study found that applying a topical scalp essence with Centella asiatica extracellular vesicles and growth factors significantly improved scalp health and hair growth compared to a placebo after 56 days.
This study suggests that Crinum asiaticum var. japonicum extract and its component norgalanthamine may promote hair growth by inhibiting 5α-reductase activity and the TGF-β1-induced pathway.
January 2026 in “Revista Científica de la Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias” This study concluded that both ozonated oil and Centella asiatica extract effectively accelerated wound healing in mice through different mechanisms, with the former enhancing early-stage inflammation and the latter promoting collagen deposition and regenerative healing.
