Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-22
What is this product?
A brightening-function toner whose list opens with water followed by four tree-derived extracts and then niacinamide, with polyglutamic acid and a peptide further down. Fragrance is present and no concentration or pH figures are given, so the brightening claim rests on ingredient presence rather than disclosed testing.
What makes it different?
The front of the list is unusual: four tree-derived extracts (대나무추출물, 소나무추출물, 측백나무추출물, 편백나무잎추출물) sit above niacinamide at position 6, so the botanical load outweighs the functional actives. The mid-list adds 쌀캘러스배양추출물, polyglutamic acid at 8 and rh-Oligopeptide-1 at 12, a hydration-plus-peptide combination rarely seen this high in a basic toner. There are no drying alcohols and no essential oils, though fragrance appears at 23 and two light esters sit at 20 and 21.

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.
We could not place these in the list above: 폴리글리세릴-5올리에이트, 글리세릴카프릴레이트
