How it works
The AC Clean Up Pink Powder Spot is a 15ml spot powder, used at the end of the evening routine, on clean, dry skin. The active it is built around is Colloidal Sulfur, named seventh on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Madecassoside and Salicylic Acid, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Colloidal Sulfur stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the spot powder format rather than by the list alone. ETUDE sells this Colloidal Sulfur spot powder in Korea, and this is that version.
Key benefits
- Colloidal Sulfur, the active this spot powder is built around
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate and Madecassoside on the same list, actives
- Salicylic Acid on the same list, an exfoliant
- Chamaecyparis Obtusa Water on the same list, a plant extract
- Portulaca Oleracea Extract and Houttuynia Cordata Extract further down the same list
- Saururus Chinensis Extract further down the same list
Key actives
4Chamaecyparis Obtusa Waterplant extract
Hinoki cypress water, the distillate of the Japanese cypress. It is used as a base water and carries a soft woody scent. It is named fourth on this spot powder's list, alongside Colloidal Sulfur.
7Colloidal Sulfuractive
Colloidal Sulfur is elemental sulfur milled fine enough to disperse in water. It is used in masks and spot products for the look of congested, oily skin, and it carries its own faint sulphur smell. On this spot powder's own ingredient list it is named seventh.
10Salicylic Acidexfoliant
It loosens the dead cells that block pores and is used for the look of congested, oily skin. It is named tenth on this spot powder's list, alongside Colloidal Sulfur.
13Dipotassium Glycyrrhizateactive
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is named thirteenth on this spot powder's list, alongside Colloidal Sulfur.
18Madecassosideactive
Madecassoside is the centella triterpene most associated with the look of redness, and the one brands lead with in cica products. It is water soluble and stable, so it appears in essences as readily as in creams. The panel names it eighteenth on this spot powder's list, beside Colloidal Sulfur.
Where does this spot powder go in my routine?
At the end of the evening routine, on clean, dry skin. Anything thinner than a spot powder 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 Colloidal Sulfur and not three changes at once.
What else is on the list besides Colloidal Sulfur?
Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Madecassoside and Salicylic Acid. The order they are printed in on this spot powder's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Colloidal Sulfur sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Chamaecyparis Obtusa Water, Portulaca Oleracea Extract and Houttuynia Cordata Extract.
Not on the ingredient list below: fragrance or parfum, silicones, parabens, sulfate surfactants and mineral oil or petrolatum.

Ingredient list read from inkeedecoder.com on 30 August 2026.
19 of 20 explained
- Alcohol Denat solvent
- Alcohol Denat. is ethanol with a bitter additive that makes it undrinkable, which is a tax rule rather than a formulation choice. It behaves like alcohol: a fast-evaporating solvent that gives a weightless finish and can feel drying at higher levels.
- Glycerin humectant
- Glycerin is the most used humectant in skincare. It draws water into the outer layer of skin and holds it there, and it is one of the very few ingredients whose hydrating effect is settled science rather than marketing. Higher amounts feel tacky, which is why it is usually blended.
- Calamine absorbent
- Calamine is a mineral blend of zinc oxide with a trace of iron oxide, which is where its pale pink colour comes from. In a formula it is an absorbent mineral powder.
- Chamaecyparis Obtusa Water plant extract
- Hinoki cypress water, the distillate of the Japanese cypress. It is used as a base water and carries a soft woody scent.
- Butylene Glycol humectant
- Butylene Glycol is a small glycol that does two jobs at once: it holds water in the top layer of skin and it dissolves plant extracts and actives that plain water cannot. It also thins a formula, which is why watery Korean essences lean on it.
- Colloidal Sulfur active
- Colloidal Sulfur is elemental sulfur milled fine enough to disperse in water. It is used in masks and spot products for the look of congested, oily skin, and it carries its own faint sulphur smell.
- Alcohol solvent
- Alcohol here means ethanol. It dissolves ingredients water cannot, evaporates fast so a formula sets quickly and does not feel heavy, and thins texture. In quantity it can leave dry or reactive skin feeling tight, which is why many Korean formulas avoid it and some deliberately use it for a fast, weightless finish.
- Portulaca Oleracea Extract plant extract
- Portulaca Oleracea is purslane. Its extract is unusually high in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants for a plant, and Korean formulas use it for the look of reddened, reactive skin.
- Salicylic Acid exfoliant
- Salicylic Acid is a BHA, and the only common exfoliant that is oil soluble, so it can work inside a pore rather than only on the surface. It loosens the dead cells that block pores and is used for the look of congested, oily skin.
- Water/Aqua/Eau solvent
- Water is the base almost every serum, toner and cream is built on. It dissolves the water-loving ingredients and sets how light the finished texture feels. On an INCI list it is usually first, which only means it is the largest single ingredient by weight.
- 1,2-Hexanediol humectant
- 1,2-Hexanediol is a glycol used for two reasons: it holds water like glycerin, and it makes a formula harder for microbes to live in, so less traditional preservative is needed. Korean formulas use it heavily for that second reason.
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate active
- Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate is a water-soluble salt derived from licorice root. It is the licorice fraction Korean formulas use for the look of redness, and it is far more stable in water than the whole extract.
7 more explained
- Iron Oxides (Ci 77491) colorant
- Iron Oxides are mineral pigments in red, yellow and black, and the three are blended to make every skin-tone shade in a tinted product. They are inert and sit on the surface.
- Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil fragrance component
- Tea Tree Leaf Oil is an essential oil from an Australian shrub, carrying terpinen-4-ol. Korean formulas use it in products aimed at blemish-prone skin; it is potent, aromatic, and one of the essential oils most likely to bother reactive skin.
- Houttuynia Cordata Extract plant 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.
- Silica absorbent
- Silica is finely milled mineral, essentially very pure sand. It absorbs oil, stops powders clumping and soft-focuses the look of pores and fine lines.
- Madecassoside active
- Madecassoside is the centella triterpene most associated with the look of redness, and the one brands lead with in cica products. It is water soluble and stable, so it appears in essences as readily as in creams.
- Ethylhexylglycerin preservative booster
- Ethylhexylglycerin softens skin and boosts a preservative system, which is why it is nearly always sitting beside phenoxyethanol or 1,2-hexanediol. It also cuts down the odour bacteria produce, so it turns up in deodorising products.
- Saururus Chinensis Extract plant extract
- Asian lizard tail extract, closely related to houttuynia and used in the same kinds of Korean formula. It carries flavonoids and is one of the older Korean herbal ingredients.

How to use
- Pick up a small amount with the included puff or a small brush and press directly onto the blemish, over any concealer already applied, rather than sweeping it across the face.
Worth knowing
- Patch test this spot powder on a small area and wait a day before using it more widely, especially with Colloidal Sulfur on the list.
- Salicylic Acid on this list makes this spot powder an exfoliating step, so do not stack it with another one on the same night.
