PURCELL Pixcell Biom 2 Billion/mL
Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-09
What is this product?
Buy this if you want a ferment concentrate with the percentages actually printed on it: PURCELL's 20억/mL 픽셀바이옴 원액 discloses a five-ingredient list, 45 percent bifida ferment lysate and 45 percent lactobacillus ferment lysate, with butylene glycol, 1,2-hexanediol and ethylhexylglycerin making up the rest. No fragrance, no alcohol, no acid, nothing to react to beyond the ferments themselves. Skip it if you need the claims to hold up, because the two headline figures (3.3 fold barrier improvement speed, 100 percent density satisfaction) carry no subject count, method, or date, and the one documented study measures comedones and surface oil instead. Two cautions on reading the label: 프로바이오틱스 in the marketing denotes lysates, which are inactivated, and no functional-cosmetic filing applies. The ingredient list here is transcribed from a label image, not from page text.
What makes it different?
A five-ingredient ferment concentrate that publishes both actives at 45 percent, so 90 percent of the formula is accounted for by name and number, paired with headline efficacy figures that disclose nothing at all. The ingredient list itself reaches this record only through an OCR transcription of the brand's label image, because no page text on any archived surface carries it.
What is in it?
The full ingredient list as the brand publishes it, in the printed order. Each name links to what we know about that ingredient.
This brand publishes its ingredient list in Korean only. Names below are the matching INCI names from the Korean Cosmetic Association ingredient dictionary.
Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.
Did the ad claims hold up?
We checked 7 lines this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. One of them looks likely, though none are proven outright.
