What it is

Essence-soaked sheet mask that pairs mild exfoliating acids with calming and hydrating ingredients to refine pores and smooth skin with a refreshing tingle.

Who it's for

  • Normal, combination, or oily skin seeking pore refinement and smoother texture.
  • Those comfortable with a mild tingle from cosmetic acids.
  • Users wanting a periodic resurfacing mask rather than daily exfoliation.

Key ingredients (INCI)

  • Gentle acids (e.g., AHA/BHA/PHA blends) — cosmetic exfoliation for smoother texture.
  • Soothing agents (e.g., panthenol/centella derivatives) — calm and comfort skin.
  • Humectants (e.g., hyaluronic acid/glycerin) — hydrate and plump feel.
  • Light emollients — add slip without greasiness.

Free-from / texture

  • Essence-soaked sheet with a light, dewy finish.
  • Typically low fragrance; review INCI for sensitivities.
  • Non-greasy residue; leaves skin prepped for moisturizer.

How to use & order

  • PM recommended. After cleansing/toner, apply mask and smooth to fit.
  • Leave on 10–20 minutes; remove and tap in remaining essence.
  • Follow with moisturizer; use 1–2 times per week to start.

Conflicts & layering tips

  • Avoid pairing in the same routine with strong acids, retinoids, or benzoyl peroxide.
  • Keep the rest of the routine hydrating and barrier-focused to buffer potential sensitivity.
  • Patch test if you have sensitive or compromised skin; discontinue if irritation persists.

Evidence & notes

  • Exfoliating acids provide cosmetic smoothing; effects are temporary and cosmetic.
  • Humectants provide plumping when sealed with moisturizer.
  • Tingling is expected; reduce frequency or rinse off if discomfort persists.

Safety

  • For external use only; discontinue if irritation occurs.
  • Do not reuse masks; discard after one use.
  • Avoid broken or compromised skin; consult a professional if post-procedure.
  • Pregnancy/breastfeeding: cosmetic ingredients; consult your physician for personal guidance.

FAQ

Q. Why does it tingle?

A. The formula includes exfoliating acids and refreshing botanicals; the tingle is a cosmetic sensation while the mask works to soften the look of pores.

Q. How often should I use it?

A. Start 1–2 times per week at night, then adjust based on tolerance. Reduce frequency if you experience stinging or redness.

Q. Can I use it with retinoids or other acids?

A. Avoid layering with strong acids, retinoids, or benzoyl peroxide in the same routine. Keep other steps gentle and hydrating on mask days.
