Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-22
What is this product?
A brightening-focused cream built around niacinamide near the top of the list, shea butter, plant extracts and a long run of synthetic growth-factor peptides, but its headline clinical numbers are not backed by disclosed test details.
What makes it different?
The formula puts niacinamide at position 7, high enough to be meaningful, and lists ten sh-oligopeptide and sh-polypeptide growth-factor ingredients in the mid-list. A block of soothing botanicals including centella, green tea and licorice extracts covers positions 17 through 26. Lavender oil and linalool near the end make it a less obvious pick for fragrance-sensitive users.
What is in it?

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: 라벤더오일, 네오펜틸글라이콜다이카프레이트, 솔비탄세스퀴올리에이트, 사이클로펜타실록세인, 사이클로헥사실록세인, 시어버터, 하이드로제네이티드폴리데센, 소듐클로라이드
Did the ad claims hold up?
We checked the one line this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. None of them hold up on their own. They are partly right at best.
Claims translated from Korean, originals preserved.
