[ 23YEARSOLD] Badecasil P 50g

RECOMMENDED FOR: Acne-prone and combination skin with small bumps, whiteheads, and blackheads, skin with pronounced pore texture from excess sebum

PERFECT FOR: When small bumps and excess sebum are on your mind, and you want a non-comedogenic exfoliating cream to wear to bed

AM: Not for morning use - the brand designates this as evening-only because AHA can increase sun sensitivity; always apply sunscreen the next morning after cleansing.

PM: At the final evening skincare step, apply a thin layer over your whole face or problem areas, avoiding the eyes and mouth. Start every other evening (2-3 times weekly) and move to nightly use as your skin adjusts.

A thick, dense, ointment-style white cream that absorbs smoothly with no stickiness for a velvety finish. No fragrance ingredient is listed, though acids can carry a faint sour smell.

Glycolic Acid (AHA 4%), Betaine Salicylate (BHA 0.8%, 8,000ppm), BADECA Complex (5,000ppm), BioDTox Ingredients (Broccoli Extract, Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract, Bioflavonoids), Centella Asiatica Extract, Panthenol, Allantoin, Urea, Jojoba Seed Oil

- Glycolic Acid 4% & Betaine Salicylate: tidy surface dead skin and the hardened sebum blocking pore openings to focus on small bumps and shine
- Broccoli, Aloe & Bioflavonoids: calm breakout-prone skin made reactive by harmful environments and impurities
- Centella, Urea, Panthenol & Allantoin: soften skin after exfoliation and replenish moisture to keep texture smooth

PICK NO.3 RATING
SENSITIVITY: 5/5

WHY WE PICKED IT: A formula pairing 4% AHA with BHA while presented as non-comedogenic, plus a Hwahae No.1 ranking and pharmacy-channel track record, made this an easy pick.

CLINICAL RESULTS: Presented as non-comedogenic (suitable for acne-prone skin); the brand cites completed clinical testing for problem-skin suitability and texture improvement, but detailed test figures could not be verified in public sources.

SAFETY NOTES: AHA and BHA ingredients can cause temporary tingling early on; stop use and consult a doctor if red spots, swelling, or itching persist. Keep it out of the eyes and avoid broken skin. Do not use at the same time as retinol, high-strength pure vitamin C, or scrubs. Close the tube after use, store away from direct sunlight, and keep out of children's reach. With 4% AHA, use it in the evening only and wear sunscreen the next day. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before using salicylic-acid-type ingredients.

GLOBAL SALES: Brand-stated: over 2 million Badecasil series units sold, and No.1 cream line across 880 K-Optima pharmacy branches; No.1 in Hwahae exfoliating creams for several weeks in 2024 (press report).

AWARDS: No.1 in Hwahae's exfoliating cream category (May-July 2024, press report).

Q. Can I use it in the morning?

Q. How much acid does it contain?
A. The official store lists 4% AHA, and betaine salicylate is listed at 8,000ppm (0.8%).

Q. Can sensitive or acne-prone skin use it?
A. It is presented as non-comedogenic, but the acid level is on the stronger side, so start every other evening (2-3 times weekly); if your skin is delicate, about twice weekly is advised.

Q. Is it vegan?
A. No, it contains beeswax and also includes silicones (cyclopentasiloxane, cyclohexasiloxane, and dimethicone).

Q. Who is this best for?
A. Acne-prone and combination skin with small bumps and excess sebum

Q. Is there anyone who should skip this one?
A. If your skin is very sensitive, you are new to AHA/BHA, or you want a vegan product, consider the gentler D cream first. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should consult a doctor before use.
