Cell Fusion C Weakly Acidic Pharrier Cleansing Water

What is this product?

Cell Fusion C's Weakly Acidic Pharrier Cleansing Water is a 500ml wipe-off water for sensitive or barrier-stressed skin, and its 21-item list backs the gentle half up: the cleansing is done entirely by amphoteric, glucoside and amino-acid surfactants with no soap and no sulfate, no fragrance is printed, and a real citrate buffer sits behind the weakly acidic name. What is not backed up is removal power, because the brand tells you to skip a second cleanse yet publishes no removal test and puts no oil solvent on the list.

What makes it different?

Two label facts decide it. The mildness is structural rather than a slogan: nowhere on the 21-item statement is there a soap or a sulfate, and the acid claim rests on a citric acid and sodium citrate buffer instead of on branding. Against that, the brand prints an oddly precise 스킨케어 성분 96% 이상 on both of its product pages with no calculation shown anywhere for that 96% figure, and it publishes no pH either, which is the one number a weakly acidic claim would be settled by. It is sold on the brand's own mall as a single bottle and as a [1+1] two-bottle bundle carrying the identical list.
