ZEROID Pimprove Gel Cleanser
Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-05
What is this product?
ZEROID's Pimprove Gel Cleanser is a 180ml gel wash for oily, blemish-prone skin, and its actives sit further back than the name suggests: 살리실릭애씨드 is 11th of 19 ingredients, o-사이멘-5-올 16th and 징크피씨에이 18th, all with no amount given, while the mild surfactants take the front half, and there is no fragrance and no alcohol on the printed list. ZEROID publishes no concentrations and no pH, and ZEROID's own Korean list and the English list published for it elsewhere do not match, so which formulation is current is unsettled.
What makes it different?
Two things mark it out on the gel-cleanser shelf: it carries both 살리실릭애씨드 and 징크피씨에이 on a printed label, an unusual pairing for a wash, and it closes that label on a synthetic pseudo-ceramide. Just check the name on the box, because ZEROID sells two near-namesakes, the Pimprove Foaming Cleanser and the Foaming Cleanser. The 여드름성 피부완화 designation it gets listed with shows up only in retailer listings, not on ZEROID's own page.

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.
Did the ad claims hold up?
We checked 5 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.
