PIBUMI Buying Guide: Centellusion Cica, Foraklin Pore Care, and the Full Lineup
PIBUMI is a Korean skincare brand that splits its catalog across two named lines and a handful of standalone products. The Centellusion line uses centella asiatica as its primary active for skin calming and barrier support, while the Foraklin line targets pore congestion and blackheads. Twelve products are in stock on Skinsli, covering toners, ampoules, creams, cleansers, and a body wash. This guide maps out what each line does, which formulas suit which skin types, and how to layer the products into a routine.
Centellusion: what centella asiatica does in this range
Centella asiatica, also called cica, is an Asian herb used in skincare for its wound-healing, anti-inflammatory, and barrier-strengthening properties. PIBUMI's Centellusion line uses it as the primary active across the Sika Cream 3X variants and the Spot Cream. The "3X" in the Sika Cream name indicates a triple-concentration or triple-action centella blend, positioning these creams above basic cica moisturizers in terms of active loading. The practical effect is faster calming of red, irritated, or compromised skin and more sustained barrier repair with continued use.
Centellusion Sika Cream 3X: Dry, Oily, and Lipopolymer variants
Three versions of the Sika Cream 3X are available, each tuned to a different skin type at 100ml. The Dry variant carries a richer emollient base suited to dry and dehydrated skin that needs moisture as well as cica actives. The Oily variant uses a lighter, gel-adjacent texture that delivers centella without the heaviness that can aggravate oil production or clog pores. The Lipopolymer variant adds lipopolymer technology, a more advanced delivery system that encapsulates actives for deeper and more sustained skin penetration, making it the choice for users who want the most targeted barrier repair from the three options. All three come in 100ml tubes, which is a standard full-size cream volume.
Centellusion Spot Cream 15ml for targeted use
The Centellusion Spot Cream at 15ml is a concentrated spot-treatment size. Spot creams in Korean skincare are typically applied directly to individual blemishes, red patches, or breakout sites rather than over the whole face. The 15ml tube is practical for travel or as a complement to a full-face cica cream: use the larger Sika Cream 3X across the whole face and reserve the Spot Cream for active spots or persistent irritation areas. This format also suits users who want to trial cica actives before committing to a full 100ml tube.
Foraklin: Laha Ampoule and Pore Zero Ampoule for pore care
The Foraklin line handles pore care within the PIBUMI range. The Laha Ampoule 50ml with Foraklin Pore is the serum-weight treatment in this line, designed to minimize the appearance of enlarged pores. A 2-set version is also available for stocking up or for households with more than one user. The Pore Clean Pore Zero Ampoule 50ml is a separate Foraklin product with a name that emphasizes pore-clearing over pore-minimizing - meaning it likely carries additional exfoliating or sebum-control actives to address congestion at the source. Using the cleansing oil first to remove debris and then layering the ampoule is the standard double-cleanse-to-treatment routine for pore-focused care.
Foraklin Blackhead Zero Laha Deep Cleansing Oil 200ml
The Foraklin Blackhead Zero Laha Deep Cleansing Oil at 200ml is the cleansing step within the pore line. Oil cleansers dissolve sebum plugs and oxidized blackhead debris in pores through oil-on-oil affinity, which water-based cleansers cannot reach. The 200ml bottle is a generous size for a dedicated cleansing oil, making it practical as the first step of a double cleanse before the Pure Bubble Foam Cleanser. Regular use of a cleansing oil specifically designed for blackheads can visibly reduce congestion in the nose and chin area over several weeks, especially when followed by a pore-refining ampoule like the Pore Zero Ampoule.
Pure Bubble Foam Cleanser 160ml (2-set)
The Pure Bubble Foam Cleanser comes in a 2-set of 160ml bottles. Bubble foam cleansers self-foam on contact with water, producing a fine-textured lather that removes surface debris and residue without the manual friction of pumping a foam. They are generally mild and suitable as the second cleanse after an oil cleanser. The 2-set format lowers the per-unit cost and provides a backup bottle for travel or the gym bag. This cleanser is the everyday face wash in the PIBUMI lineup rather than a specialty product.
Centellusion Nanosica Acne Cooling Body Wash 500ml
The Centellusion Nanosica Acne Cooling Body Wash at 500ml extends the cica line to body care. Body acne - most commonly on the back, chest, and shoulders - responds to the same anti-inflammatory actives as facial acne, so a centella-based body wash is a logical extension of a cica skincare routine. The "cooling" descriptor indicates a menthol or similar cooling agent in the formula, which provides immediate soothing sensation on skin irritated by body acne or heat. At 500ml this is a practical body wash volume for regular shower use.
How to layer PIBUMI products in a routine
A full PIBUMI routine builds from cleansing through treatment to moisture. Start with the Foraklin Blackhead Zero Laha Deep Cleansing Oil to remove makeup and sunscreen, then follow with the Pure Bubble Foam Cleanser for a thorough water-based second cleanse. Apply the Laha Ampoule with Foraklin Pore or the Pore Zero Ampoule as a serum step while skin is still slightly damp. Finish with the Centellusion Sika Cream 3X in the variant that matches your skin type: Dry for dehydrated skin, Oily for combination or acne-prone skin, Lipopolymer for anyone who wants the most advanced delivery. Apply the Spot Cream to specific blemishes over or under the main moisturizer. In the shower, swap your existing body wash for the Nanosica Acne Cooling Body Wash if you deal with body breakouts.

Frequently asked questions
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between the Sika Cream 3X Dry, Oily, and Lipopolymer versions?
All three are 100ml Centellusion Sika Cream 3X products with the same centella asiatica base. The Dry version has a richer, more emollient texture for dry or dehydrated skin. The Oily version uses a lighter gel-like base suited to combination and oily skin types. The Lipopolymer version uses encapsulation technology for deeper active delivery and is the most advanced of the three - it suits anyone who wants enhanced barrier-repair benefits regardless of skin type.
Should I use the Laha Ampoule with Foraklin Pore or the Pore Clean Pore Zero Ampoule?
The Laha Ampoule 50ml with Foraklin Pore is focused on minimizing the visible appearance of pores. The Pore Clean Pore Zero Ampoule 50ml leans toward clearing congestion from within pores, which suggests it carries exfoliating or sebum-control actives. If your primary concern is the look of large pores, start with the Laha Ampoule. If you have active blackheads and congestion, the Pore Zero Ampoule is the more targeted pick.
Can I use the Centellusion Spot Cream 15ml on its own without the larger Sika Cream?
Yes. The Spot Cream 15ml is a complete product in its own right. It is well suited as a travel-size cica cream or as a standalone for people with occasional irritation who do not need a full 100ml tube. You can apply it over the whole face if you prefer, though the 15ml size will run out faster with full-face use. It also works as a targeted add-on applied directly to blemishes alongside a separate moisturizer.
How do I use the Foraklin Blackhead Zero Laha Deep Cleansing Oil?
Apply the oil to dry skin before wetting your face. Massage it in circular motions across the nose, chin, and forehead where blackheads tend to concentrate, then work it across the rest of the face. Add a small amount of water to emulsify the oil - it will turn milky - then rinse. Follow with the Pure Bubble Foam Cleanser for a full double cleanse. Use it once daily in the evening as part of your makeup or sunscreen removal step.
Is the Centellusion Nanosica Acne Cooling Body Wash 500ml effective for back acne?
The Nanosica Acne Cooling Body Wash is formulated with centella asiatica for anti-inflammatory support, which is relevant for body acne on the back, chest, and shoulders. Results from a body wash depend on consistent daily use and on the severity of the acne. For mild to moderate body breakouts, a cica-based wash can reduce redness and help calm active spots over several weeks. Severe or cystic body acne typically requires a dermatologist-prescribed treatment in addition to a supportive cleanser.
What is centella asiatica and why is it in the Centellusion range?
Centella asiatica is a herb used in Korean and broader Asian medicine for wound healing and inflammation reduction. In skincare, its active compounds - including asiaticoside, madecassoside, and asiatic acid - are linked to barrier repair, reduction of redness, and support of collagen synthesis. PIBUMI uses it as the core active in the Centellusion line across the Sika Cream 3X variants and the Spot Cream because it addresses the two most common triggers for sensitive and acne-prone skin: impaired barrier function and chronic low-grade inflammation.
Are PIBUMI products on Skinsli authentic Korean imports?
Yes. Skinsli sources PIBUMI products directly from Korea. The products you receive are the same formulations sold in the Korean market, with the original Korean packaging. Skinsli carries Korean cosmetics as its core catalog, so product authenticity is standard across all brands on the site.
Is the 2-set Laha Ampoule a better value than buying one at a time?
The 2-set of Laha Ampoules 50ml with Foraklin Pore bundles two bottles at a lower per-unit cost than two individual purchases. If you use the Laha Ampoule daily as part of your routine, the 2-set is the more economical choice. A 50ml ampoule used morning and evening typically lasts about four to six weeks, so a 2-set covers roughly two to three months of use.
What is included in the Pure Bubble Foam Cleanser 160ml 2 Sets?
The 2-set contains two 160ml bottles of the Pure Bubble Foam Cleanser. It is the same product sold individually, bundled together. The format suits households where two people use the cleanser, or individuals who prefer keeping a spare bottle rather than running out mid-routine. At 160ml per bottle, each one typically lasts two to three months with once-daily use.
