UIQ Biome Remedy™ Acne Cleansing Foam

What is this product?

A 150 ml cream cleansing foam, also sold in 50 ml, from a Korean brand's own mobile storefront, where the statutory block is page text and its screening row registers the product as a functional acne-relief cosmetic. The 34 printed entries lead with three anionic acyl surfactants, 소듐코코일이세티오네이트, 소듐메틸코코일타우레이트 and 소듐코코일글루타메이트, plus 라우릴베타인, and carry 살리실릭애씨드 at 17 and 석시닉애씨드 at 34, neither with a published level. A fermented filtrate is the only entry with a declared level, 500 ppm. There is no fragrance entry, no essential oil and no ethanol. Brand imagery reproduces one-use cleansing figures from a named testing house on twenty two people, including 72.36 percent sunscreen removal, and two summaries that name the product for a skin pH result and a reaction score of 0.00; no figure's underlying values are printed and no product pH is given.

What makes it different?

Three things separate it. It is registered as a functional acne-relief product on its own statutory row, and 살리실릭애씨드 is on the list at 17; that entry does not appear on any of the nine other landed records from this brand that carry an ingredient list, which use salicylic derivatives where they use one at all. Its cleansing claims come with a sunscreen removal figure that is candidly below complete, 72.36 percent. And two of its test summaries name this product as the subject, which the page's other footnotes do not. Against that, no acid level, no product pH and no underlying test values are published, and the page describes its pH with two different words.

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked 25 lines this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. One of them holds up. The rest are only partly right or have nothing behind them.
