SKINFOOD Pink Grapefruit AHA Food Mask

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-10-02

What is this product?

A 120 g wash-off gel mask from SKINFOOD, spread over the face for 5 to 10 minutes and rinsed with lukewarm water, sold on the brand’s own store. The printed list has 33 entries led by water, glycerin, butylene glycol and panthenol, with niacinamide at 8, glycolic acid at 11 printed at 1,050 ppm, sodium hyaluronate at 17 and grapefruit extract at 18 printed at 200 ppm. Gluconolactone sits at 29, bakuchiol at 30 and a fragrance entry last.

What makes it different?

An acid exfoliant with a printed level (1,050 ppm) inside a humectant gel base, with a clean patch test result, while two of the three efficacy charts disagree with their own printed numbers and the grapefruit named in the title is printed at 200 ppm.

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 4 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.
