CellFusionC Mildly Acidic Barrier Moisture Cream

What is this product?

CellFusionC's Mildly Acidic Barrier Moisture Cream is a good pick for dry, easily irritated skin and a bad one if you want the claims on the box checked: four hyaluronic acid forms sit at positions 14, 16, 17 and 19 of 36 ingredients, with ceramide NP 13th, ectoin 12th and phytosphingosine 34th, and no 향료 entry appears anywhere. What it does not back up is its own name. CellFusionC publishes no pH for a cream sold on being mildly acidic, and the 1등수분밀착크림 and 민감피부개선 lines on the Olive Young listing name no ranking and no test at all.

What makes it different?

Ectoin is the ingredient that separates this from the usual ceramide cream: it is an extremophile osmolyte with real water retention data and it rarely appears at position 12 of a drugstore label. The hyaluronic side is unusually thorough too, four different molecular forms rather than one, and the barrier side pairs ceramide NP with phytosphingosine instead of running a single ceramide alone. The label is short at 36 entries, has no fragrance and no denatured alcohol, and lemon balm at 15 comes with its own marker polyphenol printed separately at 18. The missing piece is the number for the word the product is named after.

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked 6 lines this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. None of them hold up on their own. They are partly right at best.

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.
