Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-14
What is this product?
A Korean wipe off pad from celimax, sold as 170ml holding 60 sheets and also sold as a refill of the same size. The disclosed list is water led and carries three acids: salicylic acid declared at 0.45%, lactobionic acid, and a trace of capryloyl salicylic acid at the very end. Denatured alcohol sits third, which is high, and tea tree leaf oil sits in the middle. Despite the cica name, the centella extract is declared at 0.02% and madecassoside at 0.001%, both token quantities, while bifida ferment lysate sits thirteenth. The practical character is a genuine acid wipe with a fast bare finish rather than the calming pad its name suggests. No fragrance is declared. No INCI list and no pH figure were published on the surfaces read.
What makes it different?
Two things separate it. It declares a real beta hydroxy acid figure, 0.45% salicylic acid, and stacks a poly hydroxy acid and a trace lipo hydroxy acid behind it, which is an unusually layered acid set for a pad sold on calming. And the gap between its name and its list is unusually wide in the measurable direction: the cica materials it is named for are disclosed at 0.02% and 0.001%, while the volatile alcohol nobody mentions sits third.

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