Isntree Onion Newpair Cleansing Foam

What is this product?

Buy this if you have oily or blemish-prone skin and you want a cleanser that genuinely strips sebum. On top of the soap sits an unusually dense functional block at positions 12 through 17, led by 양파추출물 with its concentration printed at 638.75ppm. Skip it if your skin is dry or your barrier is struggling, because a soap system is alkaline by construction and that is not a formulation detail you can screen around. Two things to know. The brand's own page publishes no ingredient list at all, so the panel here comes from a retail statutory record. And the two headline marketing lines, an acne-suitability test and a 95 percent satisfaction figure, are published with no method, sample size, institute or date behind either.

What makes it different?

A true saponified soap in a market that has largely moved to weak-acid synthetic detergents, which makes the squeaky finish a position rather than a compromise. The other signature is a printed concentration on the hero ingredient, 양파추출물(638.75ppm) at position 12, carried to two decimal places, sitting at the head of six consecutive positions of functional material in a product that gets rinsed off within a minute.

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: 글리세릴스테아레이트, 미리스틱애씨드, 라우릭애씨드, 세테아릴알코올

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked 4 lines this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. One of them holds up. The rest are only partly right or have nothing behind them.

Claims translated from Korean, originals preserved.

Each line is quoted as the brand published it, and each one was read on its own against the ingredient list and the documents the brand publishes.
