Dirt Phobia Effectem D: Toner

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-22

What is this product?

A watery toner led by niacinamide at fourth position and packed with plant extracts, aimed at oily or combination skin wanting pore and sebum care with light hydration. Sensitive skin should note the four essential oils in the mid-list.

What makes it different?

Niacinamide placed fourth gives it a more concentrated sebum and tone care angle than extract-only toners. The formula layers around two dozen plant extracts with five peptides and ceramide NP in the later half, though no concentrations are printed. It is fragranced by four essential oils (positions 34 to 37) rather than added parfum, which suits sebum-care seekers but not fragrance-avoidant users. A dual functional cosmetic notice for brightening and wrinkle improvement is printed on the official page.

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 3 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: 광곽향오일, 연필향나무오일, 불가리스쑥오일, 콘민트오일, 하이드로제네이티드레시틴

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.
