PHYSIOGEL

PHYSIOGEL RED SOOTHING CICA BALANCE PORE SOLUTION SUNSCREEN

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-10-02

What is this product?

A Korean hybrid sunscreen cream from Physiogel in a 30 ml tube at SPF50+ and PA++++, filed as a UV protection and whitening functional cosmetic. Among 36 printed entries it pairs five organic filter class entries with titanium dioxide at 14 and adds niacinamide, glucosyl hesperidin, film forming polymers and silica for a pore blurring finish. Denatured alcohol sits at 3, three essential oils close the list, no fragrance entry is printed, and four entries carry an acid suffix but none is an exfoliating acid. The brand's pore improvement chart does not match its printed percentage, and the product page read out of stock at collection.

What makes it different?

A hybrid filter set (organic plus titanium dioxide) sold as a pore care primer with a niacinamide and glucosyl hesperidin pair. The trade-off is evidence quality: the pore tightening chart contradicts its own printed percentage, the hypoallergenic badge has no footnote, and the list carries denatured alcohol at 3 plus three essential oils while the copy sells low irritation. Test footnotes give laboratories, windows and panel sizes but name no product.

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.

Ingredients with no mark are ones we found nothing notable about, and when marks overlap on one ingredient we show the caution first.
