What is this product?

A 200ml anhydrous face and body oil from Illiyoon's Redich line, sold by Amorepacific for dry, itch-prone, highly sensitive skin. Twenty-seven items, of which positions 1 through 12 are an unbroken block of plant oils and light synthetic esters; water sits at 16, below the ginseng water at 15. Ceramide NP at 22 and phytosphingosine at 23 are the barrier-lipid signals, and tocopherol at 13 is the antioxidant. The statutory panel states that a Korean functional-cosmetic filing exists but does not say what it is for, and no test, level or pH appears on any surface held. The entry a sensitive-skin reader should check is 불가리스쑥오일 at position 9, an Artemisia oil from a recognised contact-allergen family. Poor fit for oily or congestion-prone skin.

What makes it different?

Three things set it apart on this shelf. First, it is a derma-positioned oil rather than a glow oil, and the panel backs that: a ceramide and phytosphingosine pair in the tail is not what a facial oil sold on radiance carries. Second, the emollient block is deliberately ester-forward, four of the first five entries being low-viscosity synthetics, which is why a 200ml oil reads as light in the reported use. Third, and least flattering, an Artemisia oil sits at position 9 in a product addressed to extremely sensitive skin, which is the one entry that argues against the positioning.

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 8 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.

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: 불가리스쑥오일, 카프릴릴/카프릭트라이글리세라이드, 해바라기씨오일, 에틸헥실스테아레이트, 옥틸도데실미리스테이트, 데실코코에이트, 호호바씨오일, 올리브오일, 달맞이꽃오일, 스위트아몬드오일, 검정콩오일, 카놀라오일

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.
