SKINFOOD Lemongrass Niacinamide 5 Pad
Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-14
What is this product?
A Korean toner pad from SKINFOOD built on niacinamide disclosed at 50,000 ppm, which is 5 percent and the top of the notified range for brightening, with a 미백 기능성 functional cosmetic notification on the product page. The list runs 34 items, water led and humectant driven, with no occlusive and no declared 향료, though three essential oils are present. The brand publishes two panels from a named institution: a 24 hour patch on 30 subjects returning a 0.00 irritation index, and a four week non comedogenic and oil water balance panel on 23 subjects reporting 43.3 percent sebum and 51.1 percent hydration improvement. Sold on lemongrass, which is disclosed at 300 ppm and 300 ppb and is therefore a minor presence next to the niacinamide. Sold as 250g for 60 sheets with a separate 30 sheet refill.
What makes it different?
Two things separate it. The active is disclosed as a number rather than a gesture, at the ceiling of the notified brightening range, and the brand publishes both panels with institution, window and sample size attached. Against that, the botanical the product is named after is disclosed at a thousandth and a millionth of the active's level.
