sidmool Dr.Troub Skin Returning BHA essence

What is this product?

A leave-on BHA essence from 시드물's 닥터트럽 line, built on 밤부사 불가리스수 rather than on 정제수, which is demoted to position fourteen of the sixteen-item Korean statement. The active is 살리실릭애씨드 at position eight with a printed 0.5%, a real leave-on BHA level and the only figure on the label. 소듐하이드록사이드 at thirteen is the neutralising base, which is the compositional reason the brand's pH 4점대 line is structurally credible even though no measurement is published. Around the acid sit aqueous botanicals only: 아르니카 몬타나꽃추출물 at two and 히비스커스꽃추출물 at three ahead of the glycols, then 인동덩굴꽃추출물, 당느릅나무뿌리추출물 and 위버대나무줄기추출물 at nine through eleven, and 황금추출물 and 모란뿌리추출물 closing it. 소듐하이알루로네이트 at seven is the only humectant beyond the three glycols. There is no oil, no fatty alcohol, no ester, no silicone, no declared fragrance and no alcohol of the drying kind anywhere on the list. Two cautions belong with it. Salicylic acid is the entry pregnancy guidance conventionally names for leave-on use, and the 꽃산 half of the headline has no counterpart on the label: only one acid is declared. This SKU also carries no consumer-review population in the collected snapshots.

What makes it different?

Three things distinguish this essence from the acid leave-ons a reader is likely to be weighing it against. First, the acid level is printed rather than implied: 0.5% salicylic acid on the statement itself, which is a meaningful disclosure because most of the decision for a BHA product turns on concentration and pH together, and one of those two is here in writing. Second, the vehicle is aggressively simple. Sixteen entries, of which three are glycols and seven are aqueous plant extracts, and no oil, ester, fatty alcohol or silicone at all; that is a formula built to carry an acid and nothing else, and it is the reason both the fungal-acne and comedogenic screens came back empty against this label. Third, the base water is bamboo rather than purified water, with 정제수 demoted to position fourteen, and a second bamboo entry appears at eleven as 위버대나무줄기추출물. Against those, the evidential position is thin in a way a buyer should weigh: the pH that governs how the acid behaves is given only as a band in marketing copy, no measurement exists, the 꽃산 language promises an acid class the label does not declare, and no review population exists for this SKU in the collected material.
