Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-08

What is this product?

A medium-occlusive Centella repair cream carrying a completed MFDS functional-cosmetic filing for whitening and wrinkle-improvement, built on madecassoside, niacinamide and adenosine alongside a small botanical extract cluster (clary 26, lavender flower 28, hyacinth whole-plant 29, matricaria flower and leaf 30, cornflower flower 31, borage 33). No fragrance ingredient is present within the checked archive range. The retailer's own all-skin-types claim sits in some tension with the formula's heavier-than-typical occlusive load.

What makes it different?

A completed dual whitening-and-wrinkle-improvement functional-cosmetic filing, confirmed directly from a retailer's own product-essentials table rather than inferred from the ingredient list alone, distinguishes this from Centella creams that only imply a functional claim.

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.

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: Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Squalane, Cetearyl Alcohol, Mango Seed Butter, Hydrogenated Polydecene

Did the ad claims hold up?

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.
