Dr.G Red Blemish Clear Soothing Cream EX

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-09

What is this product?

A light, fragrance-free cica gel-cream for reactive skin that leans oily, and not the right pick if you need real sealing power or if you want the marketing checked out. Dr.G's R.E.D. Blemish Clear Soothing Cream EX is a 70ml moisturizer with 44 disclosed ingredients, eight of them Centella-derived, plus niacinamide at position 5, sodium hyaluronate at 8, panthenol at 19 and ceramide NP at 42. It is thickened by acrylate copolymers with no wax, silicone, plant oil or fragrance, which makes it light and also means very dry skin will want something over it. Two things a reader should know. The ingredient list is index-sourced from an Olive Young retail record rather than from a brand surface, so it carries a third-party tier. And the functional-cosmetic filing is contradicted between surfaces: the anchor record and the Kurly page both read 해당사항 없음 while the Danawa listing page shows 미백도움 markings, and that contradiction is left unresolved here. No pH, no concentrations and no test detail are disclosed.

What makes it different?

Eight separate Centella-derived entries across a 44-ingredient list, in a wax-free and silicone-free acrylate-thickened base, sold under a functional-cosmetic filing status that two retail surfaces record differently and that the sources here do not settle.

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.

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: 폴리글리세릴-10라우레이트, 에틸헥실팔미테이트, 트라이하이드록시스테아린
