paparecipe Tea Tree Control Enzyme Powder Cleanser

What is this product?

파파레서피 티트리 컨트롤 효소 파우더 클렌저 is a Korean dry powder face wash sold as a 50g unit through the brand's own shop and four domestic retail channels, manufactured by (주)코스메카코리아 for (주)에이비티아시아 in Korea. Its printed Korean 전성분 runs 34 comma separated tokens on an 옥수수전분 bulk, cleaned by three mild anionic surfactants at positions 2, 3 and 5. Exfoliation arrives by three routes: 호두나무열매껍질가루 at 6, insoluble milled walnut shell that abrades, 파파인 at 10, a plant protease, and 글루코노락톤 at 15, a polyhydroxy acid. Two entries set it apart from a plain enzyme powder and both sit high: 멘톨 at 8, a cooling agent rather than a soothing one, and 향료 at 12, so this is a fragranced cleanser. 티트리잎추출물, the botanical the name is built on, is eighteenth and is a leaf extract rather than the essential oil most tea tree evidence concerns. The list carries no fixed oil, no wax, no soap base, no ethanol and no salicylic acid. The brand's statutory block records 기능성 심사 필 유무 as 무 while stating 여드름성 피부 사용 적합 as a suitability specification; a retail listing's statutory row states the opposite on notification and the conflict is unresolved here. No ingredient level, no pH and no brand cited test exists on any archived surface. Consumer topic labels mention format and grit ahead of soothing. Best for oily or combination skin wanting an exfoliating wash with dosing control; caution for mechanically sensitive, dry or fragrance reactive skin, and for known papain sensitivity.

What makes it different?

Three things separate it from the rest of the enzyme powder shelf, and one separates it from its own siblings. First, the abrasive outranks the enzyme: 호두나무열매껍질가루 is printed sixth, ahead of 파파인 at tenth, ahead of the colourant, the fragrance and 정제수, so on a shelf where 효소 in a product name usually signals a gentler alternative to scrubbing, this formula puts the physical particle first and the brand's own caution copy calls it 알갱이. Second, it cools. 멘톨 at position 8 is unusual in a face wash and is the entry most users will actually feel, and it is a cold receptor effect rather than the 진정 the copy promises. Third, it is fragranced, with 향료 twelfth, which is the opposite of what most buyers assume when they choose a powder enzyme cleanser for reactive skin. Against its own line siblings the difference is exactly those two entries plus the botanical and colourant pairing, since the starch bulk, the three surfactants, the walnut shell, the papain, the polyhydroxy acid and the five mushroom extracts are shared. Two structural notes a buyer should know: every brand listing archived for this product is a promotional wrapper, and the statutory block underneath them is identical across those wrappers, so the promotion changes the order and not the product.
