Key actives
Madecassosideactive
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. On this product's own ingredient list it is named thirty-eighth.
Papainexfoliant
Papain is a protein-cutting enzyme from papaya. Enzyme exfoliants act on protein rather than on the bonds an acid targets, and they need water to work, which is why they suit powder washes. It is named thirty-first on this product's list, alongside Madecassoside.
Ganoderma Lucidum (Reishi) Extractplant extract
Reishi mushroom extract. Like most mushroom extracts it carries beta-glucan-type polysaccharides, which hold water and leave a light film. It is named fourth on this product's list, alongside Madecassoside.
Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extractplant extract
Willow Bark Extract carries salicin, the plant compound salicylic acid is related to. The two are not interchangeable: willow bark is a mild clarifying extract, not a BHA exfoliant at the levels used in cosmetics. It is named fifth on this product's list, alongside Madecassoside.
Arctium Lappa Root Extractplant extract
Burdock root extract, the ueong eaten in Korea. It carries inulin and polyphenols and is used as a conditioning extract. It is named seventh on this product's list, alongside Madecassoside.
How to use
- Sweep across a cleansed face and neck with a cotton pad or press in with clean hands, then continue with the rest of the routine without rinsing.
What else is on the list besides Madecassoside?
Papain, Ganoderma Lucidum (Reishi) Extract and Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract. The order they are printed in on this product's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Madecassoside sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Arctium Lappa Root Extract, Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel) Extract and Lavandula Angustifolia (Lavender) Extract.

How it works
The Super Melting Sebum Softener is a 150ml product. The active it is built around is Madecassoside, named thirty-eighth on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Papain, Ganoderma Lucidum (Reishi) Extract and Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Madecassoside stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the product format rather than by the list alone. ilso sells this Madecassoside product in Korea, and this is that version.
Worth knowing
- New to this formula or to the brand: patch-test on the inner arm and wait a day before applying it to the face.
- Discontinue use and rinse the area with water if redness, itching or irritation develops.
