ShionLe Dasima Glazed Cream

What is this product?

ShionLe's Dasima Glazed Cream, 50g, is a good pick for skin that wants a light, dewy finish backed by a botanical level the brand actually publishes: kelp juice is printed second of 51 ingredients at 20%, which most botanical creams never disclose. It is the wrong pick for anyone steering clear of silicones, because cyclohexasiloxane sits third with two more silicone entries at eight and ten, and a green pigment is printed 27th.

What makes it different?

The stated 20% kelp juice is the real separator. Botanical creams usually print the plant they are named after somewhere in the back half with no figure attached, and this one puts it second with a number on it. Four more seaweed extracts sit at positions 39 through 42, which is where label garnish normally lives, so the kelp case rests on the one disclosed entry rather than on the cluster behind it. The base under all of it is silicone-led rather than oil-led, so it spreads thin and dries down quickly instead of sitting as a rich layer, and very dry skin in winter will want something occlusive over the top. No fragrance entry and no drying alcohol appear anywhere in the 51, which is a genuine reason to choose it, though the green pigment at 27 is colour rather than an active.

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked 2 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.

Claims translated from Korean, originals preserved.

Each line is quoted as the brand published it, and each one was read on its own against the ingredient list and the documents the brand publishes.
