TENXION Skin Refine B5 Cream

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-10-02

What is this product?

An 80 ml tube cream from the Korean brand TENXION, sold on the brand store as a light water cream for pore appearance and sebum balance. The printed 31 entry list is water-led with a light polymer thickener and a silicone slip entry, carries no fragrance or ethanol entry and no wax or butter, and the brand states 2 percent niacinamide and 1 percent each of panthenol and squalane. Three peptide amides sit at the very end of the list and are presented as growth factors.

What makes it different?

A light water cream whose list stays free of wax, butter and fragrance, with three brand stated quantities and brand cited small-group pore and sebum figures, but with growth-factor wording over peptide amides and a functional notice that names no kind.

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 3 with no dictionary entry, left in Korean.

Worth a closer look

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