SKIN&LAB BARRIERDERM INTENSIVE CREAM

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-22

What is this product?

A Korean barrier cream from SKIN&LAB, sold in three tube sizes that all print the same 56 ingredient label with a full INCI column beside the Korean one. The build is a genuine sealing cream: a cetyl ethylhexanoate ester, cyclopentasiloxane, a hydrogenated olefin, dimethicone and squalane all sit inside the first nine entries, with a carnauba wax, two hydrogenated oils and seven fatty alcohols behind them. The barrier story rests on one ceramide, three glyceryl fatty acid esters, two lecithins and a free amino acid set of serine, glycine, arginine and histidine, alongside sodium hyaluronate, panthenol, mannitol, glucose, beta glucan and a licorice derived soothing entry. There is no fragrance entry and no drying alcohol, but a lavender oil and a rosemary leaf oil sit at positions 16 and 17, ahead of both the hyaluronate and the ceramide. The brand publishes six efficacy figures from two studies at one named domestic institute in October 2021, a primary irritation study whose summary sheet is photographed with its method legible, a German dermatological certificate naming this product, and a claim of functional cosmetic registration for barrier recovery that the brand's own statutory notice field contradicts by printing non-functional. No pH figure and no disclosed concentration appear anywhere. No lived use reports were collected.

What makes it different?

Publishes a full INCI column next to the Korean one on a Korean domestic listing, which makes all 56 entries checkable without translation guesswork, and photographs a primary irritation study summary sheet whose research name, study code, negative control and reading schedule are legible rather than summarised into a badge. The build backs the barrier framing with a ceramide, three glyceryl fatty acid esters, two lecithins and four free amino acids under an occlusive block that starts at position four. The trade-offs are printed on the same surfaces: two essential oils sit ahead of the hyaluronate and the ceramide in the order, the registration the copy claims is contradicted by the brand's own statutory notice field, and every efficacy percentage arrives without a baseline or an instrument.

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked 21 lines this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. None of them hold up on their own. They are partly right at best.
