ILSO PEPTIDE PORE TENSION MASK

What is this product?

A 23 ml Korean sheet mask from 일소, sold as a ten sheet box from the brand's own store, built around a water and humectant essence with a cooling pair and three end of list peptides. Thirty two ingredients: glycerin second, niacinamide fifth, panthenol seventh, adenosine sixteenth, sodium hyaluronate twenty third, a synthetic cooling amide at twenty four and corn mint oil at twenty seven. The entire ingredient list and statutory notice exist only inside a JPEG on the brand page and were transcribed visually under an image transcription protocol. The best evidence here is a documented outside irritation study with an IRB number, thirty sensitive skin subjects and a mean reaction score of zero. The weakest is a dual function whitening and wrinkle claim that appears in the marketing block while the statutory table in the same image has no functional cosmetic row at all. Suits oily, combination and sensitive skin wanting a cooling hydrating step.

What makes it different?

Two things separate it from its neighbours. Its safety evidence is genuinely better than the category norm, an outside laboratory study with a control number, an IRB approval number, a named evaluation standard and a stated panel, all printed rather than summarised into a badge. And it is a clean worked example of the gap between the two layers on a Korean product page: the marketing specification block declares a dual function registration that the statutory notice table, printed a few hundred pixels below it in the same image, does not carry a row for.

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked 42 lines this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. 15 of them hold up. The rest are only partly right or have nothing behind them.

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.
