What is this product?

Buy this if you want a genuinely light daily hydration layer and a very short ingredient list, and skip it if you need a moisturiser that seals, because there is no oil, butter or wax to hold anything in. The list runs 15 items: water, four humectants, one emollient ester, aloe juice, madecassoside, an olive-derived emulsifier pair and a carbomer thickener, with no fragrance, no drying alcohol and no acid. That short list is the brand's own claim and it checks out mechanically. The 약산성 claim is the weak spot: the only pH figure held is a price-comparison site's spec row of 4.5 to 5.5, not a brand measurement, and tromethamine is present as a carbomer neutraliser. Sold at 300ml and 260ml.

What makes it different?

A 15-item list for a leave-on facial emulsion, which is short enough that the brand built its marketing on the count and the count survives checking. Against that, the acidity it leads with is the one property nothing in the collected material measures.

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.

Key ingredient

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: Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Cetearyl Olivate, Sorbitan Olivate

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked 6 lines this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. One of them holds up. The rest are only partly right or have nothing behind them.

Claims translated from Korean, originals preserved.

Each line is quoted as the brand published it, and each one was read on its own against the ingredient list and the documents the brand publishes.
