| Korea vs export | Olive Young Global lists this product under a slightly different title ("Black Volcanic PHA Pore Cleansing Oil," prdtNo GA260338369). Querying the listing's underlying data API returned its full declared ingredient list, which is missing all 4 of the Korea version's named active ingredients — Salicylic Acid, Gluconolactone, Charcoal Powder, and Jeju Volcanic Ash. Only generic base ingredients (oils, emulsifiers) overlap between the two formulas, indicating a genuine reformulation for export rather than a renamed identical product, confirmed 2026-09-02. |

Is it OK for sensitive skin?
Declared facts only, not a suitability verdict: fragrance is declared; labeled allergens present: Benzyl Benzoate, Limonene, Geraniol, Hexyl Cinnamal, Linalool; no denatured alcohol listed. No irritation-related fact here implies suitability for any skin type.
How much of the key actives does it contain?
Iron Oxide Black (named in the product title): rank 19 of 27; Salicylic Acid: rank 24 of 27, regulatory cap 0.5%; Gluconolactone: rank 25 of 27, brand-disclosed 10,000 ppb; Volcanic Ash (named in the product title): rank 27 of 27, brand-disclosed 4,500 ppb.
Can I buy it outside Korea?
International shipping: Olive Young Global; Sold in Korea only: Olive Young Korea; Global price: US$21.00 list / US$11.61 sale (Olive Young Global, 200ml).
When did this launch?
2026-03-18, as an Olive Young-exclusive pre-launch addition to Innisfree's existing volcanic pore-care line, per Korean trade press (cosinkorea.com, 2026-03-17). It is a distinct, separate SKU from an older 150ml "화산송이 바하 모공 클렌징 오일" that Innisfree's own site now marks discontinued — not a renewal of that product.
Is the Korean version different from the export version?
Yes — Olive Young Global sells it under a slightly different title ("Black Volcanic PHA Pore Cleansing Oil"), and querying the listing's data API directly returned a declared ingredient list missing all 4 of the Korea version's named actives (Salicylic Acid, Gluconolactone, Charcoal Powder, Jeju Volcanic Ash). Only generic base ingredients overlap, confirmed 2026-09-02.
Is it vegan certified?
No vegan certification mark appears on the Olive Young Korea listing as of 2026-09-02.
Is it suitable for teenagers?
No — the brand states this product is formulated and marketed for adults only, and does not recommend it for middle-schoolers, whose skin may not suit it even though it isn't unsafe per se (brand-stated, Olive Young Q&A brand answer dated 2026-04-20, checked 2026-09-04).
How is this different from Innisfree's other volcanic pore cleansing oil?
The two use different exfoliating actives: the sibling product ("화산송이 모공 바하 클렌징 오일") uses a BHA (Salicylic Acid), while this one uses a PHA (Gluconolactone) for gentler exfoliation — the brand recommends this PHA version for those wanting a milder routine (brand-stated, Olive Young Q&A brand answer dated 2026-05-27, checked 2026-09-04).
