Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testArencia Eraser Shot Glycolic Acid Booster helps smooth rough texture, refine the look of pores, and brighten uneven skin for a clearer, healthier-looking complexion. This multi-acid treatment combines glycolic acid, salicylic acid, and lactobionic acid to gently exfoliate dead skin cells, unclog pores, and improve skin texture while helping reduce the appearance of blemishes and post-acne marks.
Eraser Shot Glycolic Acid Booster is a lightweight serum from Arencia, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around hydration and soothing. The ingredient list runs to 45 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. Silicones in the formula tend to give a smooth, blurred finish and help it grip under makeup. Hydration is handled by Propanediol, Butylene Glycol and Ethylhexylglycerin, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Propanediol, Butylene Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin and Hyaluronic Acid.
Soothing: High. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Centella Asiatica Extract, Allantoin and Madecassoside.
Barrier support: Moderate. Lipids and repair signals that support skin barrier integrity, and here that comes from Niacinamide, Madecassoside, Panthenol and Ceramide NP.
Brightening: Moderate. Ingredients that act on uneven tone and post-inflammatory marks, and here that comes from Niacinamide, Glycolic Acid and Lactobionic Acid.
On richness alone it suits Balanced, Combination (oily) and Oily skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on antioxidant protection and firmness signalling. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is fragrance-free, essential-oil-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, microplastic-free and sulfate-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after toner, before moisturiser. Apply to clean, dry skin and give it a minute to absorb before the next layer. Introduce one new treatment at a time so you can identify what is working.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
Drawn purely from the ingredient list
Scored on how rich or light the formula reads from its INCI order.
No ingredient in this formula carries a common-irritant flag, making it a reasonable option for reactive skin. A patch test is still recommended, as individual skin reactivity varies.
