Key actives
Salicylic Acidexfoliant
It loosens the dead cells that block pores and is used for the look of congested, oily skin. It is the entry this mist is named after, and the list carries it.
Niacinamideactive
Niacinamide is vitamin B3, and it is the most studied active in Korean formulation. It is named sixth on this mist's list, alongside Salicylic Acid.
Gluconolactoneexfoliant
Gluconolactone is a PHA, the gentlest exfoliant class. It is named ninth on this mist's list, alongside Salicylic Acid.
Capryloyl Salicylic Acidexfoliant
Capryloyl Salicylic Acid is salicylic acid with a fatty tail, sometimes sold as LHA. It stays nearer the surface than salicylic acid and works at a higher pH, so it exfoliates more evenly and more gently. The panel names it thirty-third on this mist's list, beside Salicylic Acid.
Houttuynia Cordata Extractplant extract
Houttuynia Cordata is heartleaf, and it is one of the two or three anchor plants of Korean calming skincare. Its extract carries quercitrin and other flavonoids and is used for the look of redness and blemish-prone skin. The panel names it fifteenth on this mist's list, beside Salicylic Acid.
How to use
- Hold at arm's length and mist evenly over the face at any point in the day, over bare skin or makeup, patting in gently rather than rubbing.
Where does this mist go in my routine?
At any point in the day, over bare skin or over makeup. Anything thinner than a mist goes on before it, and anything richer goes on after. If you are adding it to a routine you already like, give it a week on its own first, so what you see is the Salicylic Acid and not three changes at once.
What else is on the list besides Salicylic Acid?
Niacinamide, Gluconolactone and Capryloyl Salicylic Acid. The order they are printed in on this mist's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Salicylic Acid sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Houttuynia Cordata Extract, Eriobotrya Japonica Leaf Extract and Mineral Salts.

How it works
The JI WOO GAE Heartleaf BHA Body Mist is a 150ml mist, used at any point in the day, over bare skin or over makeup. The exfoliant it is built around is Salicylic Acid, named eleventh on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Niacinamide, Gluconolactone and Capryloyl Salicylic Acid, so the exfoliant is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Salicylic Acid stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the mist format rather than by the list alone. Celimax sells this Salicylic Acid mist in Korea, and this is that version.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this mist on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Salicylic Acid on the list.
- Gluconolactone and Salicylic Acid on this list makes this mist an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.

What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
BHAs like salicylic acid get really deep into the pores, whereas the water-soluble ones don't go as deep.
Samantha Stein, PA-CDermatology physician assistant, Cleveland Clinic Niacinamide helps reduce the appearance of pores in a few ways. By strengthening the skin barrier and improving elasticity, pores appear less noticeable and more even.

This means that gluconolactone acts as an exfoliating acid, but also as a moisturizer. It has moisturizing, soothing, and lightening properties, working well on dry skin.
