Nightingale Daily Derma Cleansing Pads Mild Acid
Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

What is this product?
Read the name before you buy: 마일드애씨드 means 약산성, a mildly acidic pH held by a sodium citrate buffer with a retailer spec of pH6.5이하, and not an exfoliating acid, since none of the 37 declared ingredients is an AHA, BHA or PHA. What you get in a 70-count tub holding 140ml is a fast, non-stripping wipe: one mild nonionic ester surfactant with no soap, no sulfate and no drying alcohol, then three hyaluronic forms unusually high at positions 6, 7 and 8 and a seventeen-extract soothing tail. Its product table records the functional-cosmetic notice as 무, so it is not a treatment pad.
What makes it different?
It is a rinse-free pad whose name promises acid and whose label delivers pH instead, and that is the whole reason to pick it or skip it. It leaves more behind than a wipe usually does, with the humectants placed above the extracts rather than decorating the tail. The one real caution undercuts its own 더마 and 모든 피부용 framing: the final three ingredients are two essential oils, orange peel and lavender, plus a declared limonene, so fragrance-reactive skin should pass.

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: 오렌지껍질오일, 라벤더오일, 글리세레스-25피씨에이아이소스테아레이트
