beplain Cicaterol Spot Treatment

What is this product?

A 15 ml localized soothing treatment from the Korean brand beplain, sold in a narrow nozzle tube and meant to be tapped onto one spot rather than spread. Its statutory ingredient reading runs 43 entries and prints two concentration figures, 2.4% centella asiatica extract and 117 ppm centella asiatica leaf extract, which is more disclosure than this format ordinarily carries. Six distinct centella-derived materials are on it, including madecassic acid, asiaticoside, asiatic acid and madecassoside, alongside beta-sitosterol, the phytosterol the brand markets as its Cicaterol. Panthenol, allantoin, dipotassium glycyrrhizate and ceramide NP fill out the calming and barrier side. Three powder and structuring materials sit high on the list, which is why the brand's own notice says it leaves a temporary white cast, and a five entry emollient block, four esters and one isoparaffin, makes the occlusive base that keeps it in place overnight. No fragrance entry, no allergen declaration, no drying alcohol and no free alpha or beta hydroxy acid appear on the list read, and the statutory field files no functional cosmetic claim. One beta hydroxy family member does appear, capryloyl salicylic acid, printed at an undisclosed level. The brand publishes a 32 subject patch test concluding non-irritating for primary irritation, and no study of calming exists on the surfaces read. Suits sensitive or reactive skin wanting a localized soothing layer; anyone who reacts to salicylates should read the list first.

What makes it different?

Three things separate this from the soothing-spot shelf and all three are checkable on the label rather than in the copy. First, it discloses levels: 2.4% for the centella extract and 117 ppm for the centella leaf extract, printed inside the statutory ingredient nomenclature, which Korean labelling does not require. Five sibling records of the same line print their own figures the same way, at 3.5%, 3.5%, 2%, 0.1% and 15 ppm. Second, the centella story is multi-form and the label carries it: six distinct centella-derived entries, and the three the brand's own footnote names as TECA are all present at positions 24, 27 and 28. Third, the format is honest about itself: the brand prints the white cast warning in two places before purchase, in the statutory instruction and in a notice box, rather than leaving buyers to discover it. Two counterweights sit on the same label. A centella oil the copy sells as one of three cica forms is not on the ingredient list at all, the only oils being grape seed and sunflower seed. And a product marketed on soothing carries a salicylate derivative at an undisclosed level.
