What is this product?

A 60 sheet hydrating toner pad, 260 g total, built on a humectant stack with a physiological barrier lipid set underneath it. The list runs 46 items. A xylitol complex spans positions 6, 9, 10 and 21, three glycols and glycerin fill the top five, and two hyaluronic acid forms sit at 11 and 29. Five ceramides, NP, NS, AP, AS and EOP, sit at 36 through 42 with cholesterol and phytosphingosine between them, which verifies the brand's five ceramide count exactly. The brand's exosome wording is not verified: the label declares kakadu plum as an extract and no entry corresponds to an exosome preparation. There is no acid, no drying alcohol, no oil, wax or silicone, and 향료 is the final printed item. No pH, no concentration and no test data are published, and the brand's detail page is images only.

What makes it different?

Two. First, the five ceramide count is one of the rare marketing numbers that survives a mechanical recount of the label: exactly five ceramide entries, plus cholesterol and phytosphingosine, which is the full physiological set rather than a token inclusion. Second, the formula pairs that lipid set with a xylitol water reservoir complex instead of the usual oil base, which puts barrier lipids into a pad that contains no occlusive at all.

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.

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-10아이소스테아레이트, 폴리글리세릴-10올리에이트, 하이드로제네이티드레시틴, 스테아릭애씨드, 세테아릴알코올, 콜레스테롤

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked 7 lines this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. None of them hold up on their own. They are partly right at best.

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.
