Fusiderm Barrier Repair SOS Cream

Fusiderm is a Daiso-exclusive skincare brand from Korean pharmaceutical company Dongwha Pharm, launched 2026-05-18 across seven SKUs priced 2,000-5,000 KRW. This 40ml cream sells for 5,000 KRW. Its branded active is a Fusidium coccineum ferment extract filtrate (declared at 100ppm) — from the same fungus behind Dongwha's Fucidin antibiotic ointment, but the ferment filtrate is not the antibiotic active sodium fusidate. The formula declares 5% panthenol and a six-ceramide barrier complex with cholesterol and phytosphingosine. (Checked: 2026-09-07)

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.

How much of the key actives does it contain?

Panthenol: rank 5 of 45, brand-disclosed 5%; Niacinamide: rank 8 of 45; Adenosine: rank 20 of 45; Sodium DNA (PDRN): rank 40 of 45; Madecassoside: rank 44 of 45.

Can I buy it outside Korea?

No international-shipping channel verified in our sources (checked 2026-09-10); Shipping scope unverified: Daiso Korea, Daiso Mall (daisomall.co.kr).

How is the Daiso version different from the original?

There is no original — Fusiderm is a Daiso-exclusive brand, not a cheaper edition of an existing product. The Daiso Mall product page itself carries Dongwha Pharm's corporate mark and copyright line, and Korean trade press described the launch in those terms on 2026-05-18. A search of Olive Young Korea returns no Fusiderm products, and Dongwha's own cosmetics mall does not list the brand (checked 2026-08-31). Resellers list it on open marketplaces at around 12,000 KRW, but those are not official channels.

Is this the same thing as Fucidin ointment?

No. This is a cosmetic, not a drug. It declares Fusidium coccineum ferment extract filtrate at 100ppm — derived from the same soil fungus that yields Fucidin's antibiotic active, sodium fusidate, but the ferment filtrate and the antibiotic are different substances. The cosmetic and the ointment share a source organism, not an active ingredient. Dongwha's retail skincare sibling is the separate Fusidine line.

Is it a functional cosmetic under Korean law?

Yes — the mandatory ingredient disclosure's "효능효과" (efficacy) row states the standard notified-claim wording for both whitening ("피부의 미백에 도움을 준다") and wrinkle improvement ("피부의 주름 개선에 도움을 준다"), which is boilerplate reserved for registered functional cosmetics, not free marketing text. No registration notice number is published on the listing, checked 2026-09-07.
