Blemish Care Serum

Whether it can help uneven tone, dark spots, melasma-like discoloration, or post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation — including brightening and tyrosinase-inhibiting ingredients.

From Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Arbutin, Arctostaphylos Uva Ursi Leaf Extract, Phyllanthus Emblica Fruit Extract

Whether it can calm the skin — linked to less redness, irritation, discomfort, or visible reactivity.

From Centella Asiatica Extract, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract, Panthenol, Allantoin

Whether the ingredient helps increase the skin’s water content — humectants that attract water, ingredients that reduce water loss, or ones that make skin feel less dry.

From Glycerin, Panthenol, Betaine, Trehalose

Whether it supports the skin barrier — restoring lipids, reducing water loss, aiding barrier repair, or strengthening the skin’s protective function.

From Centella Asiatica Extract, Glycerin, Glycyrrhiza Glabra (Licorice) Root Extract

Whether it can improve smoothness and surface texture — roughness, flaking, clogged pores, or unevenness. Exfoliating acids, retinoids, and smoothing moisturizers may score here.

From Panthenol, Salix Alba Bark Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Castanea Crenata (Chestnut) Shell Extract

Risk of allergic contact dermatitis or immune-based reactions. Fragrance allergens, preservatives, botanicals, and some dyes may score here.

From Citronellol, Geraniol, Rosa Damascena Flower Oil, Rosa Damascena Flower Water

Risk of short-term irritation — stinging, burning, dryness, redness, or discomfort. Common for strong actives, acids, retinoids, fragrances, and harsh surfactants.

From Alcohol, Rosa Damascena Flower Oil, Citronellol, Arctostaphylos Uva Ursi Leaf Extract

Whether it can weaken or damage the skin barrier — harsh surfactants, strong exfoliants, high alcohol content, or overuse-prone actives.

From Alcohol

Whether it may sting or irritate around the eyes. Relevant for sunscreens, fragrances, acids, surfactants, and volatile ingredients.

From Alcohol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Citronellol

Whether it has meaningful potential to be absorbed into the body at levels that may matter biologically. Most cosmetic ingredients score low unless there is known concern or high exposure.
