BRTC V10 PEELING PAD

What is this product?

A Korean double-sided exfoliating pad from BRTC, sold as a jar of 80 pads soaked in a water-led solution of 28 printed ingredients. The first entry is a Centella asiatica leaf water and purified water sits eighth, which is the arrangement the brand's own copy describes. The single exfoliating acid is gluconolactone, a polyhydroxy acid, and no glycolic, lactic, citric, malic, tartaric or salicylic entry appears anywhere in the printed list. Eight entries read as vitamins or vitamin derivatives, covering niacinamide, a tocopherol ester, biotin, folic acid, pyridoxine, cyanocobalamin, beta-carotene and a sodium ascorbyl phosphate, which is the vitamin block behind the product name. There is no fragrance entry and no drying alcohol, but a bergamot essential oil sits near the end of the list with limonene and linalool declared after it. The brand publishes an irritation index of zero from a named domestic testing centre, a content figure for the Centella water and a patent registration number for a trademarked vitamin complex, and none of the three carries a protocol, a method or a composition on the surfaces read. The volume printed on the jar and the volumes printed in the two statutory panels disagree, while the ingredient column is identical in both panels. No pH figure and no disclosed concentration appear anywhere. No lived use reports were collected.

What makes it different?

Builds its entire exfoliating story on one polyhydroxy acid: 글루코노락톤 is the single exfoliating-class acid among the 28 printed entries, with no glycolic, lactic, citric, malic, tartaric or salicylic entry beside it. The second half of the build is the vitamin block, eight entries deep and running across the B, C, E and A families in a single soaked pad. The trade-off is printed on the same label: a citrus essential oil with two declared allergens sits in a product sold on gentleness, and every number the brand publishes, the content figure, the irritation index and the patent, arrives without a method behind it.
