Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

What is this product?

A hydration and soothing toner pad built around niacinamide at the second position of the ingredient list, a broad set of hyaluronic acid derivatives, and centella ingredients including madecassic acid, asiatic acid and asiaticoside.

What makes it different?

The formula places niacinamide second, ahead of multiple humectants, which is a high position for that active in a pad product. Nine hyaluronic acid related items appear from the late-mid list onward, spanning sodium hyaluronate, acetylated, hydrolyzed and crosspolymer forms. Centella support is layered as extract, flower/leaf/stem extract, and three purified components, though the printed concentrations for the purified components are extremely small, given in ppb. No added fragrance or drying alcohol appears in the ingredient list, and one ferment, 스핑고모나스발효추출물, sits near the end.

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, except 1 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.
