Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

What is this product?

Retinol Cica Repair Ampoule in Hydrogel Mask is a single-use hydrogel sheet mask from the Korean beauty brand innisfree, filed as a dual functional cosmetic for wrinkle improvement and brightening. Its printed ingredient list opens with water, dipropylene glycol and glycerin, then layers in three separate vitamin-A-family ingredients (retinol, hydroxypinacolone retinoate, retinal) alongside niacinamide, adenosine, and two centella asiatica entries, on a base of gum and wax emulsifiers (Irish moss powder, carob gum, carrageenan, cellulose gum, glyceryl stearate, shea butter, jojoba esters). No fragrance ingredient is printed. The single-sheet SKU this record targets does not have a confirmed standalone brand detail page; the closest confirmed official anchor is the brand's own page for the same-named 6-sheet box, whose ingredient list matches a pre-existing retail-listing record for the single-sheet SKU almost exactly (one unit-suffix difference). Review and rating data could not be confirmed as belonging to this exact single-sheet SKU; every rating figure encountered during research belonged to a different package size or a different sibling product in the same retinol-cica line.

What makes it different?

A three-form vitamin-A-family blend (retinol, hydroxypinacolone retinoate, retinal) in a single-use hydrogel sheet format, positioned as a lower-commitment, wear-and-peel way to try the brand's retinol-cica actives compared to leave-on ampoule formats in the same line.

What is in it?

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: 레티놀, 하이드록시피나콜론레티노에이트, 레틴알
