Start with formula type and application area
For peripera products, first identify whether the item is makeup or skincare. Then check the application area, such as lips, brows, or lashes, together with the product format.
The product names covered here do not clearly list ingredient names. Therefore, the product name alone cannot confirm a specific ingredient or its purpose. When reading the ingredient list, check the displayed name, cosmetic purpose, and application area in that order.
How to check formal ingredient names and purposes
A cosmetic ingredient list provides names used to identify ingredients. Do not decide the feel or finish from an ingredient name alone; read the full list together with the product information.
For example, PDRN (polydeoxyribonucleotide / moisturizing ingredient) shows how an ingredient name and its cosmetic purpose can be presented together. PDRN does not appear in the product names here, so its presence in a peripera product cannot be stated.
Hyaluronic acid (such as sodium hyaluronate / moisturizing ingredient) is another example of how to check a formal name and purpose. Ceramide (such as ceramide NP / skin-conditioning ingredient) should also be confirmed in the full ingredient list of the actual product.
Ingredients often seen in Korean cosmetics should not be judged only by words that suggest plants or fermentation. Check the Japanese label name and cosmetic purpose, and discuss an ingredient as part of a product only when the product name or full ingredient list supports it.
Korean and Japanese naming differences
A tint is written as 「틴트」 in Korean and 「ティント」 in Japanese. It refers to a lip makeup product that adds color, not to an ingredient.
Brow color may appear as 「브로우카라」 in Korean. Japanese descriptions may use 「ブロウカラ」, eyebrow mascara, or eyebrow color, referring to makeup for the brows.
Mascara is written as 「마스카라」 in Korean and 「マスカラ」 in Japanese. “All black” indicates a color or finish, not an ingredient.
Remover is written as 「리무버」 in Korean and may appear as makeup remover or 「リムーバー」 in Japanese. When 10ml appears in the product name, it can be treated as the stated volume.
Beam is written as 「빔」 in Korean and 「ビーム」 in Japanese. It is a product-name term, not an ingredient.
Morning and evening order
In general, morning skincare starts with cleansing, followed by toner or similar products, then lotion or cream, and sunscreen. Makeup base, foundation, and color makeup follow sunscreen.
- After cleansing, use toner or similar products according to the label.
- If using lotion or cream, apply it at the end of skincare.
- Place sunscreen before makeup.
- Apply makeup base, base makeup, brows, lashes, and lips in order.
- Follow the product label for amount and frequency.
In the evening, remove point makeup with remover or a similar product before cleansing. Some products may require a remover and others may not, so check each product’s directions.
A practical step to change today is to note this order before makeup: sunscreen, makeup base, base makeup, then point makeup. Even when morning and evening products differ, follow the label for amount and frequency.
What the product names tell you
Words such as tint and color describe a makeup category or shade, not an ingredient. When a volume appears in the product name, that stated volume is the information that can be confirmed.
| Product name | Volume | Application area |
|---|---|---|
| [2pack] Mood Glowy Tint (26AD)[Gift] Heart Potion Holder Keyring + Remover 10ml | 2pack, remover 10ml | Lips; use remover as directed |
| [2pack] Speedy Skinny Brow Color | 2pack | Brows |
| Ink All Black Cara | No volume stated in the product name | Lashes |
| [NEW] peripera Heart Pocket Beam | No volume stated in the product name | Follow the product label |
“2pack” indicates a two-piece set in the product name. “26AD” may identify a shade or series, but it is not an ingredient name.
Brow color and mascara are both eye-area makeup products, but their application areas differ. Brow color is for brows, while mascara is for lashes, so check the product name and application area together.
The name Heart Pocket Beam does not confirm its ingredients or detailed application area. Before use, check the container or sales page for the application area and precautions.
Precautions
For a new cosmetic, perform a patch test on an inconspicuous area and follow the product label. Stop using it if redness, swelling, itching, irritation, or another abnormal reaction occurs.
Avoid getting the product into the eyes. If it gets in, rinse with water without rubbing. If the issue continues, consult a professional and bring the product used.
Frequently asked questions
Is tint an ingredient name?
Tint is not an ingredient name. It describes a type of lip makeup product that adds color. When checking the full ingredient list, read the formal names shown there rather than the word tint. In Korean, it is written as 「틴트」.
Can I confirm PDRN when it is not in the product name?
If PDRN does not appear in the product name, the name alone cannot confirm whether it is included. PDRN is an abbreviation for polydeoxyribonucleotide. Confirm its presence in the full ingredient list for the specific product.
Should I use remover before morning makeup?
Remover is generally used when taking makeup off. Whether it should be used before morning makeup depends on the product’s intended use and directions. For daytime makeup, apply sunscreen, base makeup, and point makeup in that order.
Does 2pack indicate an ingredient or volume?
2pack indicates a two-piece set in the product name. It is not an ingredient name; it describes the set contents. If a volume is stated, confirm the volume written in the product name.
Summary
- Check formal ingredient names and cosmetic purposes separately.
- Tint and brow color describe makeup categories, not ingredients.
- In the morning, apply base and point makeup after sunscreen.
- Follow the label for amount and frequency, and stop if an abnormal reaction occurs.
