Claims vs. Reality
Enriched with Panthenol and Glycerin - the ultimate hydration boost for a refreshed look. Specially formulated with a unique blend of 7 types of ceramides, fatty acids, and natural moisturising factors, this moisturiser not only hydrates, but also fortifies your skin barrier. Perfect for daily use, the lightweight and cooling gel texture soothes irritated skin while quickly absorbing into the skin without any greasy residue.
A masterfully texturized wash-off clay mask. Unlike traditional kaolin masks that dry into a cracked, moisture-stripping shell, it features a unique base of premium Montmorillonite clay combined with rich humectants like Glycerin and Ceramides. It deeply absorbs structural oil and purifies pores while keeping the lipid barrier soft and unstripped. Artemisia (Mugwort) extract acts as a genuine anti-inflammatory agent to cool down angry acne bumps.
The Reality: It immediately pulls out surface-level oxidized sebum plug visibility, but actual deep pore structure refinement requires multi-week leave-on treatments.
The Reality: Mugwort is rich in natural flavonoids that suppress inflammatory cytokines, visibly reducing pimple redness post-rinse.
The Reality: The incorporation of a 5X ceramide matrix and lecithin holds surface water safely, preventing the classic clay-induced dehydration tightness.
👍 Formulator Pros
- Stays soft and creamy on the face without drying into a tight, itchy crust.

👎 Potential Downsides

How It Feels & Absorbs
How to Layer It
Step placement, ingredient interactions, and what to expect over time.
Never rinse this mask off with cold water. Cold water hardens clay minerals and forces you to rub your skin aggressively. Use lukewarm water combined with a soft facial sponge or microfiber cloth to melt the mask off effortlessly without friction stress.

Common Questions
What the community asks most — answered with formulation facts.
How long should I leave the mask on my face?+
Leave it on for exactly 10 to 15 minutes. Even though it doesn't dry down to a hard crack, it completes its oil-absorption phase within this timeframe.
How many times a week should I use it?+
For oily or acne-prone skin, use it 2 to 3 times a week. For sensitive or dry skin, once a week is more than enough.
Will this mask cause my skin to purge?+
It contains Salicylic Acid, which can bring deep, trapped blockages to the surface. Minor breakouts in the first week are normal, but if it persists as red patches, it is irritation.
Is it safe for fungal acne?+
Yes. It contains zero triggering fatty acids or heavy oils, making it entirely Malassezia-safe.
Does it dry down hard like traditional clay masks?+
No. It is specifically formulated to remain soft, creamy, and moist on the face to prevent stripping your moisture barrier.
Can I use it as a spot treatment overnight?+
It is not recommended. It is a rinse-off product. Leaving clay minerals on an active pimple for 8 hours can over-dry and irritate the local tissue layout.
Do I need to wash my face with cleanser after rinsing it?+
No. Wash your face with your normal cleanser BEFORE applying the mask, then rinse the mask off with pure lukewarm water only.
Why does it look slightly green?+
The soft green hue comes entirely naturally from the concentrated Artemisia Vulgaris (Mugwort) plant extract and natural earth minerals.
Can it help shrink my actual pore size?+
It deep-cleans the debris and sebum plugging the pore, allowing the pore wall to snap back to its natural shape, making it look much smaller.
Is it safe for pregnant women?+
It contains a small percentage of Salicylic Acid. While rinse-off products are generally safe, consult your physician if you prefer to avoid BHAs entirely during pregnancy.
