Specifications

Is it OK for sensitive skin?

Declared facts only, not a suitability verdict: no fragrance listed; no labeled fragrance allergens declared; no denatured alcohol listed. No irritation-related fact here implies suitability for any skin type.

Can I buy it outside Korea?

International shipping: pharmarcie.com (US import); Sold in Korea only: Olive Young Korea, Kurly; Shipping scope unverified: NAOS Korea official mall (naosmall.kr); Global price: US$39.99 (40ml) — pharmarcie.com (US specialty import pharmacy).

Is the Korean version of Bioderma's Cicabio Cream+ SPF50+ different from the export version?

No confirmed difference. A US specialty-pharmacy import listing (pharmarcie.com, US$39.99, "Made in France") shows the same 37-ingredient list in the same order as Olive Young Korea's disclosure. Of its five organic UV filters, only Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane (Avobenzone) is FDA-approved — Diethylhexyl Butamido Triazone, Bis-Ethylhexyloxyphenol Methoxyphenyl Triazine, Diethylamino Hydroxybenzoyl Hexyl Benzoate, and Ethylhexyl Triazone are not, which is why it reaches US buyers only through import channels rather than mainstream US drugstore distribution, checked 2026-09-04.
