A short ingredient list as the entire product claim

ongredients is built for skin that reacts, and it makes that case through list length rather than through a hero ingredient. Its ranges are named after the job: Skin Barrier for calming and lotions, Cera Calming and Deep Calming for creams, Balancing and Revitalizing for the two skin softeners at 250ml.

Sodium hyaluronate, centella asiatica, hyaluronic acid, panthenol and ceramide NP lead the actives, which is a short and unfashionable list and is the point. The cleansing balls at 110g are a Korean format worth knowing: a solid cleanser holds no water, so it needs less preservative than the equivalent tube.

Is a short list actually better for reactive skin?

Not automatically, but it is far more checkable, which is what matters when you have reacted before and could not work out to what. Fewer entries means fewer candidates. Start with the Skin Barrier Calming Lotion or one of the two skin softeners, add the Cera Calming serum if you want a ceramide layer, and read the creams as the closing step rather than the point of the range. Do not buy three at once, because that defeats the only real advantage this brand has.

What does this brand gain from being the Korean release?

The same thing every minimal formula gains, with less room to hide it: when a list is short, one substitution between markets changes a large fraction of the product. So on this brand reading the list is not a gesture, it is most of the information available. Every unit here is the domestic release with the barcode it was registered under, and the list printed on each page is the one that came with it.
