What we found
Based on how this product compares to others in the cleansers category, cross-referenced against retailer listings and market data.
Strengths
- + Just ten ingredients — the shortest balm list in the catalog — and every one has a job
- + The LHA sits at position 6 of 10, at or above the 1% line region in a list this short: functional placement, not tail decoration
- + Review-verified cleansing on a 138-review Hwahae base (4.53), led by "Cleanses Well" and "Not Irritating"
- + Mid per-mL pricing ($0.212/mL) for a 100 mL jar
- + No essential oils; the only fragrance component is parfum in last position
Worth knowing
- - It does contain fragrance (last in the list), so it is not a fragrance-free pick, and a small allergic-reaction minority (3) shows in its review base
- - The "barrier" in the name is positioning — a rinse-off balm makes no barrier claim we can print
- - Confidence is LIMITED-DATA: the ingredient list is verified across two identical database/retailer reproductions, but no brand-published list was available
- - No US retail price has been captured yet; the price shown is the Korean-MSRP basis

What the brand says
SKIN&LAB's own marketing claims, not our own findings.
- Ten-ingredient first-cleanse balm with LHA (capryloyl salicylic acid) placed mid-list; the "barrier" half of the name is positioning — no barrier outcome is claimed for a rinse-off balm
