Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-22

What is this product?

A large 500ml hydrating toner built around niacinamide, ceramide NP, five hyaluronic acid derivatives and a PHA, with panthenol and plant extracts for soothing. A good pick if you want a gentle, fragrance-free daily hydration step in a generous volume.

What makes it different?

The formula pairs barrier lipids (Ceramide NP, Cholesterol, Glycosphingolipids) with five forms of hyaluronic acid, covering both water binding and barrier support in one step. Gluconolactone adds a very mild PHA angle, which is uncommon for a daily hydrating toner. The list contains no added fragrance and no drying alcohol, and the 500ml size makes it practical for liberal daily use. Concentrations are not printed, so strength of each active is unknown.

What is in it?

The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.

This brand publishes its ingredient list in Korean only. Names below are the matching INCI names from the Korean Cosmetic Association ingredient dictionary, except 6 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.

Key ingredient

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: 스테아릭애씨드, 팔미틱애씨드

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked the one line this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. None of them hold up on their own. They are partly right at best.

Claims translated from Korean, originals preserved.
