ma:nyo Bifida Biome Ampoule Pad
Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-21
What is this product?
A 70 pad, 150 ml toner pad from the Korean brand ma:nyo, built on two disclosed ferment materials, bifida ferment lysate at 3,000ppm and cutibacterium granulosum ferment extract filtrate at 1,200ppm, plus eight separate hyaluronic acid entries. Twenty seven ingredients with no oil phase at all: water, four glycols, two thickeners with an amino acid neutraliser, a chelator, two polyglyceryl solubilisers, allantoin and dipotassium glycyrrhizate for calming, and a mild acid pair, LHA and PHA, for surface exfoliation. No fragrance, no colourant, no drying alcohol, and the Korean statutory notice files no functional-cosmetic claim. The brand's overseas storefront states the ferment at ten times the Korean figure and publishes a different list, so that figure is not carried here. Suits oily or congested skin wanting a hydrating wipe step; anything dry needs a cream over it, and the label says to avoid the eye area.
What makes it different?
Two ferment materials with their levels printed on the Korean label itself, 3,000ppm and 1,200ppm, rather than named without a figure. The second is a discrepancy rather than a feature: the brand's own overseas storefront prints ten times that ferment figure for the same product name, and calls the hyaluronic set ten when both of its own labels list eight.
