Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-10-02

What is this product?

A 120mL rinse-off peeling gel from innisfree, spread on dry skin and massaged about 30 seconds until flakes roll off, then rinsed, with a printed frequency of once or twice a week. The printed list has 24 entries led by water, cellulose, butylene glycol, dipropylene glycol and denatured alcohol, with a barley seed ferment filtrate at 8 printed at 9,175 ppm, niacinamide at 15, willow bark extract at 16 and gluconolactone at 18. Cellulose and microcrystalline cellulose supply a physical roll-off alongside the acid-class entries. The brand names PHA, BHA and AHA, but no AHA-named entry is printed, and the notice row says no functional cosmetic review applies.

What makes it different?

The headline names three acid families while the printed list shows two by name, and the sales copy presents daily use as burden free against a legal usage cell that says once or twice a week. The exfoliation is part physical, through two cellulose entries, and part acid-class, at levels the brand does not print.
