Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-27
What is this product?
Molvany 저자극 LHA 율피 젤 클렌저 is a 200 mL rinse off gel cleanser built on glucoside, amphoteric, glycinate and soap-type surfactants, carrying capryloyl salicylic acid (printed at 500 ppm, the brand's LHA), chestnut inner skin extract and chestnut shell powder as a gentle scrub, four centella compounds and six hyaluronic entries, and ending with fragrance. The brand shows a one-use test of this product for blackheads, dead skin and a fine dust simulant, and a patch test judged non-irritating. Suited to oily or combination skin with congested pores; fragrance-sensitive skin should patch test.
What makes it different?
A gel cleanser that pairs a salicylic acid derivative at a printed 500 ppm with chestnut extract and chestnut shell powder at printed amounts, backed by a one-use test of the product whose blackhead and dead skin figures reproduce from the printed bars.
