Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-10-01

What is this product?

SKINFOOD Potato Food Mask is a 120 g rinse-off cream mask sold on the brand's own Korean store and positioned as a soothing mask for heat-flushed, irritated skin. The printed 32-entry list is a water, cellulose and glycerin cream base with a thickener set, a potato extract at a printed 400 ppm, a centella extract and derivatives including madecassoside at a printed 13,000 ppb, a hibiscus ferment filtrate, dill extract, sodium hyaluronate, caffeine and a fragrance entry, with no exfoliating acid. The page prints four single-use tests on 23 subjects with no control group, and the store showed the item out of stock when read.

What makes it different?

A thick potato-paste wash-off mask whose soothing story rests on a 400 ppm potato extract and a centella group with a printed 13,000 ppb of madecassoside, backed by four single-use tests on 23 subjects that have no control. Its chlorogenic-acid-rich framing sits beside a printed 200 ppb bracket, its irritation-test line has no report, and the list ends with a fragrance entry.
