Key actives
Arbutinactive
Arbutin is the naturally occurring form of the same compound, from bearberry and related plants, used for the look of uneven tone. The alpha isomer is the more stable of the two. On this product's own ingredient list it is named seventh.
Rhodiola Rosea Root Extractplant extract
Roseroot extract, from an arctic and alpine plant. It carries salidroside and is used as an antioxidant conditioning extract. It is named tenth on this product's list, alongside Arbutin.
Sophora Flavescens Root Extractplant extract
Kushen root extract, a bitter traditional herbal ingredient carrying alkaloids and flavonoids. Korean formulas use it in scalp and blemish-focused products. The panel names it eleventh on this product's list, beside Arbutin.
Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extractplant extract
Sea Buckthorn Fruit Extract is high in vitamin C and carotenoids, which give it a strong orange colour. It is used as an antioxidant extract. It is named twelfth on this product's list, alongside Arbutin.
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. It is named thirteenth on this product's list, alongside Arbutin.
How to use
- After cleansing, wipe gently over the face and neck in place of a liquid toner, morning and night.
Is this the Korean-market product or a US version?
The Korean-market one, Arbutin and all. We match this product to its Korean barcode before it reaches the shelf, which is the check that tells you which market release you are holding.
What else is on the list besides Arbutin?
Rhodiola Rosea Root Extract, Sophora Flavescens Root Extract and Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract. The order they are printed in on this product's panel is the order on the box, so you can see where Arbutin sits relative to them. Further down the same panel: Houttuynia Cordata Extract, Salix Nigra (Willow) Bark Extract and Euterpe Oleracea (Acai) Fruit Extract.

How it works
The Blemish Care Pad is a 110g product. The active it is built around is Arbutin, named seventh on its own ingredient list. The same list carries Rhodiola Rosea Root Extract, Sophora Flavescens Root Extract and Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract, so the active is not the only thing on it worth naming. How much of the Arbutin stays on the skin, and for how long, is decided by the product format rather than by the list alone. This is the Original Korean Formula, the product isoi sells in Korea, Arbutin and all.
Worth knowing
- Introduce any new product gradually rather than adding several new steps to a routine at once, so a reaction is easy to trace back to the right cause.
- Patch test on a small area first and wait a day before applying it to the full face, especially the first time you use it.

What professionals say
What professionals say
What skin-care professionals say about the key actives in this formula, quoted from the medical sources linked beside each.
Arbutin works to inhibit tyrosinase, an enzyme present in melanocytes, the pigment-producing cells in the skin. This results in less pigment, dark spots and skin lightening.
Tiffany Jow Libby, MDBoard-certified dermatologist, mindbodygreen These mechanisms not only reinforce barrier function but also mitigate inflammation and accelerate healing.
Yang TangAssistant Professor, Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, Frontiers in Pharmacology
1 more professional perspective
Its potential for skincare is promoted because of its anti-inflammatory (think blemishes, rashes, eczema) and hydrating properties.
