beplain Cicaterol Ampoule

What is this product?

A 30 ml Korean centella ampoule from beplain, built as a water and humectant gel rather than an emulsion. Its statutory notice prints a centella extract figure of 3.5% and lists 33 ingredients, including the four isolated centella fractions, a phytosterol the brand markets under a coined name, and a salicylic acid derivative at an undisclosed level. Brand cited human application studies on panels of 21, 21, 20 and 33 subjects report calming and barrier improvement against untreated skin ten minutes after one use, stratum corneum hydration after one use, lower sebum and pore measures, and completed irritation and acne prone suitability testing. No fragrance entry and no drying alcohol appear in the printed list. No INCI list and no pH figure appear on the pages read, and no lived use reports were collected.

What makes it different?

Prints an actual centella extract percentage on the statutory notice instead of leaving it undisclosed, and pairs that extract with all four of its isolated fractions plus a phytosterol the brand names as its own active. The trade off is a formula with one emollient ester and no occlusive lipid, so it hydrates and calms but does not finish a routine on its own.
