SKINFOOD Shine Muscat Cica BHA Toner Pad

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-14

What is this product?

A Korean exfoliating toner pad from SKINFOOD, sold as 200g for 70 two sided embossed pads in a tub with built in tweezers. The 45 item list discloses salicylic acid at 2,000 ppm at rank 8, grape fruit extract at 100 ppm and centella at 100 ppb at rank 43, with gluconolactone as a PHA at rank 45 and willow bark at 26, neither quantified. Three consecutive hyaluronic forms and 17 amino acids sit in the lower half. The statutory block records no functional cosmetic notification and names all skin types. The brand publishes an efficacy study at ㈜휴먼에틱 임상시험센터 on 22 subjects in early 2024 reporting exfoliated area down 57.94 percent, sebum down 51.64 percent and roughness down 13.44 percent, all measured after a single use and captioned 일시적 by the brand itself. A sensitive skin irritation badge appears with no supporting study. Three fragrant essential oils are present and no 향료 is declared.

What makes it different?

An exfoliating pad that quantifies its main acid at 2,000 ppm and pairs it with a PHA and a physical two sided sheet, backed by a study that measures three separate endpoints. The two things a reader should carry away: every published percentage is a single use, explicitly temporary measurement, and the two botanicals in the product name sit at 100 ppm and 100 ppb.

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 1 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.

Key ingredient

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

We could not place these in the list above: 베르가모트오일, 자몽껍질오일, 라벤더오일, 글리세레스-25피씨에이아이소스테아레이트
