Values You Can Trust: 100% Genuine (Adilsons sourcing guarantee) • Fragrance-Free (no added Parfum) • FA-Safe* • Halal-Friendly* • Vegan-Friendly*

*See the Conscious and Permissible Formulation section below for what each self-assessed badge is actually based on.

If you have ever woken up with an angry, swollen pimple the day of an event, you know the specific frustration of a face that will not cooperate on schedule. This mask will not make the pimple vanish, but it is built to visibly de-puff and de-redden it within one sitting.

Pros: instant cooling sensory relief; two well-studied calming/antimicrobial botanicals in one step; free of added synthetic fragrance; no lane-conflicting actives, so it layers safely alongside almost any existing routine; individually sealed for hygiene on already-compromised skin.

Caveats: exact net volume and active percentages are not disclosed by the brand; a single-use sachet is a less economical format than a bottled product if you want to use this daily; the natural tea tree scent is noticeable and can be strong for fragrance-averse or highly reactive skin.

Classification: GREEN — this formula contains no clinical-strength actives (no retinoids, no AHA/BHA, no benzoyl peroxide), so it is broadly safe for teenage skin dealing with occasional breakouts.

The one general caution is not specific to this product: Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil is an essential oil, and essential oils in general warrant a bit more care on younger or very sensitive skin — patch test behind the ear first with any new user, especially a first-time mask user.

Compatibility checklist: bedside-compatible (no sink needed after application) — yes; requires rinsing — no, essence is patted in, not rinsed off; requires precise dosage — no, one sheet per session; usable with unwashed hands to apply — the sheet itself is fine, but a clean face first is still recommended; requires a wait — yes, 10-20 minutes.

Minimum viable routine position: this can absolutely be your entire "routine" on a burnout night — cleanse (or even just rinse with water if you truly cannot manage a full cleanse), mask, pat in essence, sleep. It is one of the lowest-effort ways to actually do something for irritated skin when a multi-step routine feels impossible.

Sensory aversion check: the essence is watery and non-sticky per the verified product listing, not heavy or tacky, so it should not feel like "more work" even on a low-energy night.

1. When: PM is the default; occasional AM or pre-event use is fine too.
2. How much: One full sheet per session — do not double up on two masks at once.
3. How: Apply to a clean, dry or slightly damp face, smooth out air bubbles, leave 10-20 minutes, then pat in the leftover essence — do not rinse.

"Introduce this as the ONLY new product in your routine. Wait a full 14 days before adding anything else. This isolation window ensures you can identify whether any reaction is caused by this specific product."

This mask is not designed as a daily AM step — it is an occasional treatment, most useful in the evening or as a pre-event emergency measure. If you do use it in the morning (for example, before a big day), place it right after cleansing and before your regular serums:

1. Cleanse.
2. SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Tea-Trica Relaxing Mask — 10-20 minutes, then pat in essence.
3. Continue with your normal AM serum(s), if any.
4. Moisturizer.
5. Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ — mandatory, especially since freshly calmed skin is not a substitute for UV protection.

In Mauritius's morning humidity, the humectants in the essence (Glycerin, Propanediol) will draw some moisture from the humid air itself rather than only from your skin — a small bonus if you mask in the morning rather than in an air-conditioned room.

This is this product's natural home. As a recovery-night treatment, it fits well opposite exfoliants or retinoids used on other nights:

1. Double cleanse if wearing makeup/sunscreen; otherwise a single gentle cleanse.
2. Toner (optional).
3. SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Tea-Trica Relaxing Mask — 10-20 minutes, then pat in essence. Do not rinse.
4. Moisturizer to seal in the essence.

Skin cycling integration: if you run a 4-night active cycle (Exfoliation / Retinoid / Recovery / Recovery), this mask is a strong fit for either Recovery night — it adds active soothing rather than passive rest.

Technique: unfold the sheet fully before applying, align the eye/nose/mouth cut-outs, and smooth from center outward to remove air pockets and press out contact with the skin — do not rub.

Required skin state: a clean face, dry or lightly damp, either works.

Wait time: 10-20 minutes on the face; do not exceed roughly 20 minutes, since a drying sheet can start pulling moisture back out of skin rather than delivering it.

Cotton pad vs hands: not applicable here since this is a full sheet, but for patting in the leftover essence afterward, hands deliver essentially all of the remaining product — a cotton pad would waste much of it.

This is an encyclopedia map of all product types. You do not use all of these daily. You select modules based on your skin state.

Global execution rules: viscosity ladder runs thinnest to thickest, water-phase before oil-phase, treatments before seals. Wait-time defaults: watery layers 10-20s, serum layers 30-60s, before sunscreen 10-15 minutes if heading outdoors. Amount defaults unless brand-specific guidance overrides: watery toner/essence 5-8 drops per layer; serum/ampoule 2-3 drops or 1 pump; eye product ½ rice-grain per eye; gel moisturizer 1-1.5 peas, cream 1-2 peas; occlusive seal rice-grain to pea-size; sunscreen 2-finger rule for the face, +1 finger for the neck. Hydrators sit best on slightly damp skin; retinoids on fully dry skin; if the routine pills, stings, or feels heavy, reduce layers rather than increase them.

1. Rinse/Gentle Cleanse (optional)
2. pH-Prep Toner (optional)

"Do not layer retinoids with AHA/BHA in the same night; keep 'one lane' per night."

Lane strictness: One-lane rule — Retinoid OR Exfoliation OR Strong Vitamin C (LAA) OR Acne-control active per routine; barrier/hydration can always accompany. If unsure, default to the safest lane — barrier/hydration — and reduce layers.

Tier: water-thin essence carried on a thin sheet material — it behaves like a hydrating serum/essence step, not a toner and not a cream.

Layering rule: apply after cleansing (and toner, if you use one) and before your moisturizer — this mask essentially replaces your essence/serum step for that session rather than adding on top of it.

Phase compatibility: a fully water-phase formula with no oil phase to emulsify, which is why the finish is described as non-sticky rather than heavy.

Rest days: there is no strict rest-day requirement for this specific mask since it contains no exfoliating or resurfacing actives, but 1-3 uses per week is the sensible ceiling for a single-use sachet format.

Overuse warning: using it daily does not speed up results — it produces essential-oil overexposure risk (dryness or sensitization from repeated Tea Tree contact) without added benefit.

Prerequisites: none — this is one of the gentler product categories in a routine and does not require an existing foundation of other products.

Primary targets: Inflammatory acne (Tea Tree's documented antimicrobial/anti-inflammatory action against blemish-associated bacteria) and general redness/irritation (Centella Asiatica's soothing, barrier-supporting compounds).

Secondary benefits: a brief hydration boost from Glycerin/Propanediol/Isopentyldiol in the essence, and a cooling sensory effect useful after sun exposure or heat-related flushing.

What this product cannot do: it cannot cure or medically treat cystic acne, cannot shrink pores, and cannot replace a dermatologist for persistent or severe breakouts.

Diet note: topical calming helps manage the visible symptoms of a breakout, but for chronic acne the high-glycemic-diet/dairy → insulin/IGF-1 → sebum pathway is worth discussing with a dermatologist alongside any topical routine — this is a general framing, not a medical claim about this product.

Every pairing below was verified as an active, in-stock SKU in Adilsons' live catalog before being recommended here.

• SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam 125ml — a calming, pH-balanced cleanser to prep skin before masking without stripping it further. Use AM/PM.
• SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Tea-Trica Purifying Toner 210ml — the same Tea-Trica complex in a leave-on toner, for daily maintenance between mask sessions. Use AM/PM.
• SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule 55ml — a centella-forward booster serum for the nights you are not masking, continuing the same soothing pathway. Use PM.
• SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Sleeping Pack 30ml — a lightweight overnight seal so the essence's humectants do not evaporate away by morning. Use PM.

Pilling pairs: low pilling risk overall since the essence is watery and thin; if you do notice pilling, it is more likely from a heavy silicone-based product applied immediately afterward than from this mask itself.

Pre-period breakouts happen because progesterone causes the pore lining to physically swell, narrowing the opening and trapping sebum beneath — this mask addresses the resulting inflammation and redness, not the underlying hormonal trigger.

Chronic stress elevates cortisol, which breaks down collagen, increases trans-epidermal water loss, triggers inflammatory acne, and compromises barrier function. Centella Asiatica's documented barrier-supporting and anti-inflammatory action makes this mask a reasonable tool for the visible skin symptoms of a stressful week, though it does not address cortisol itself.

Permeability: Water-Permeable (wudu-compatible). This is a water-based essence with no film-forming silicones or waxes, so it should not block water contact with the skin during ablution.

Adilsons provides this assessment based on the product's physical properties. Rulings on wudu validity vary between scholars. Consult your own trusted Islamic authority.

MYTH: "You should dry out a pimple with alcohol or toothpaste to make it disappear faster." REALITY: Both damage the skin barrier, causing more irritation and often leaving post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation that lasts for months. This mask's approach — a gentle antimicrobial plus a barrier-supporting soother — calms the blemish without the collateral damage.

MYTH: "Pure, undiluted tea tree essential oil applied directly to a pimple is a stronger, more effective DIY version of this mask." REALITY: Undiluted essential oil can cause chemical burns and severe irritation; this formula deliberately keeps Tea Tree Leaf Oil at a low, diluted concentration alongside a soothing carrier essence — that dilution is a feature, not a weakness.

AC environment note: if you mask right before spending hours in air conditioning, the humectants (Glycerin, Propanediol) can pull moisture from your deeper skin layers instead of from dry AC air — seal with a moisturizer afterward rather than leaving the essence to sit alone.

Sugar cane burning season (July-November): PM2.5 increases during this period; since the essence is non-tacky and does not leave a sticky film, it will not attract extra dust the way heavier occlusive products can.

Hard water note: Mauritius tap water hardness varies by region. If you cleanse with hard water before masking, a pH-balancing toner beforehand helps counteract the tight, filmy feeling hard water can leave.

*This ingredient appears below the estimated 1% line in the INCI list, suggesting it is present at a trace/sub-efficacious concentration. Its inclusion may be primarily for marketing rather than clinical effect. The much larger "Tea" contribution to this formula actually comes from Tea Tree Leaf Water, which sits well above the estimated 1% line.

Delivery system: no proprietary delivery technology is disclosed beyond the "Tea-Trica" branded name — this is a straightforward soaked-sheet essence, not an encapsulated or time-release format.

Full INCI List: Water, Glycerin, Propanediol, Isopentyldiol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Water, Centella Asiatica Extract, Betaine, Arginine, Carbomer, [--- Estimated 1% Line ---] Allantoin, Panthenol, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Oil, Ethylhexylglycerin, Disodium EDTA, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Pinus Palustris Leaf Extract, Ulmus Davidiana Root Extract, Oenothera Biennis (Evening Primrose) Flower Extract, Pueraria Lobata Root Extract.

This INCI list was taken from Adilsons' own current product listing. It has not yet been independently cross-checked against a third-party database such as INCIDecoder or CosDNA, or against the SKIN1004 brand site directly, due to a research-tooling limitation at the time of writing. Treat it as a strong lead rather than a fully independently corroborated formula until that cross-check is completed.

Preservative system: no traditional preservative (paraben, phenoxyethanol) is declared. The formula instead relies on 1,2-Hexanediol and Ethylhexylglycerin, a common humectant/preservative-boosting duo, supported by Disodium EDTA as a chelating agent — a pattern typical of "clean" modern K-beauty formulas.

Fragrance status: Fragrance-Free (no Parfum/Fragrance ingredient in the declared INCI). The scent comes entirely from the Tea Tree Leaf Water/Oil naturally present.

Scent description: a distinct, fresh, herbal, slightly medicinal tea tree scent.

Intensity and dissipation: noticeable on application, fading within a few minutes as the essence absorbs.

EU 26 allergen screen: Limonene, a naturally occurring component of Melaleuca Alternifolia Leaf Oil, per the brand's own disclosure — it is not listed as its own separate INCI line item and has not been independently confirmed against a third-party allergen panel this run.

Alcohol disclosure: Alcohol-Free — no ethanol or denatured alcohol appears in the declared INCI.

Halal: Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available INCI data. No ethanol from fermentation, no porcine-derived ingredients, and no haram animal-derived ingredients detected in the declared ingredient list. This is NOT a formal Halal certification. Muslims with stricter requirements should consult their own scholars.

Vegan: Self-assessed by Adilsons based on available INCI data. No animal-derived ingredients detected. This is NOT a formal vegan certification by The Vegan Society or equivalent body.

Cruelty-Free: SKIN1004 is listed on PETA's public Beauty Without Bunnies cruelty-free database, which we verified directly against the certifier's own published listing — this is a real third-party certification, not a self-assessment. *Brand states cruelty-free, but sells products in Mainland China where post-market animal testing may be required by law. Cross-border e-commerce sales may be exempt.

Microplastic-Free: Yes — Carbomer, the one synthetic polymer present, is a water-soluble/water-swellable thickener rather than the solid, insoluble microplastic particle type restricted under EU rules.

MFDS classification: General Cosmetic — brand-stated, and consistent with an INCI that contains none of Korea's standard functional-cosmetic marker actives (no Niacinamide, Adenosine, retinol, ascorbic-acid derivatives, or salicylic-acid derivatives). Not independently checked against the actual MFDS registry this run.

Clinical evidence: the general dermatology literature on tea tree oil (terpinen-4-ol) for acne and on Centella Asiatica compounds (madecassoside, asiaticoside) for wound healing and barrier support is real and well documented, but no author, journal, or year is cited for this specific product — there is nothing product-specific to independently check.

Evidence confidence: Low. This reflects general ingredient-class literature, not a clinical trial run on this exact formula.

Fungal Acne Safety: Likely FA-Safe. The declared INCI contains no oil phase and none of the C11-C24 fatty-acid-ester emulsifiers commonly flagged on fungal-acne-safety trackers; Tea Tree itself is generally regarded as low-risk for Malassezia-prone skin. This read is provisional pending the independent INCI cross-check noted above.

Assessment: Low. A watery, non-sticky essence with no heavy film-forming ingredients is unlikely to pill on its own.

Mitigation: if you do notice pilling, it is more likely caused by a thick, silicone-heavy product applied right after — wait a minute for the essence to fully absorb before your next step.

Color baseline: the essence should look clear to very lightly tinted; a noticeably discolored or cloudy essence inside an intact pouch is a sign to discard rather than use.

Storage: keep at room temperature away from direct sunlight; Mauritius's heat and bathroom humidity are both reasons to store spare sachets in a cool drawer rather than a steamy bathroom cabinet. Refrigeration before use is optional and purely for a cooling sensory boost.

Spoilage signs: a torn, punctured, or already-open pouch, a dried-out sheet, or an off/rancid smell instead of the expected herbal tea tree scent. When in doubt, discard.

Patch test: squeeze a small amount of essence from the pouch onto your inner forearm or behind your ear, wait 24 hours, then proceed to full-face use only if there is no reaction.

"If adverse reaction: STOP ALL ACTIVES. For 72 hours, use ONLY gentle cleanser + plain moisturizer + mineral SPF. NO acids, retinoids, Vitamin C, exfoliants, or essential oils. After 72h, reintroduce ONE product per 14 days."

Emergency stop signals: hives, swelling, blistering, persistent burning, or breathing difficulty — seek emergency care immediately and do not wait for symptoms to pass on their own.

Top mistakes: using it more than 3 times a week hoping for faster results; rinsing off the essence instead of patting it in; skipping moisturizer afterward and letting the essence evaporate unsealed; applying it over broken or actively bleeding skin; not patch-testing a first-time essential-oil-containing mask on very reactive skin.

Overuse threshold: more than 3-4 uses per week does not speed healing — it raises the risk of essential-oil-related dryness or sensitization with no added benefit.

Phone hygiene: if you are treating an active breakout, avoid pressing your phone screen against your cheek right after masking — phone screens are a well-known bacterial transfer vector for acne-prone skin.

Textile vectors: if you mask right before bed, make sure the essence has fully absorbed before your face touches the pillowcase, or you risk transferring residue and oils onto fabric that then sits against your skin again the next night.

Usage math: one full sheet per session, with no partial-use option — this is a single-use sachet, not a multi-use bottle.

Lifespan: if used for weekly maintenance (1-3x/week), a small stash lasts a few weeks; if kept purely for emergency flare-ups, the same stash can last several months.

Reorder timing: keep at least one or two sachets on hand at all times if you use this as an "emergency" product, since flare-ups do not wait for a convenient restock window.

This mask is a recovery/treatment step, not a foundational daily product — the routine below shows how it slots into a broader centella-based regimen for blemish-prone, humidity-stressed skin in Mauritius.

Core Soothing Routine:

1. Cleanse with SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule Foam 125ml.
2. Tone with SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Tea-Trica Purifying Toner 210ml.
3. Mask with the SKIN1004 Tea-Trica Relaxing Mask, 1-3x per week, 10-20 minutes, pat in essence.
4. On non-mask nights, use SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule 55ml instead.
5. Seal with SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Sleeping Pack 30ml.

If/Then branches:

• If you are using this as a one-off emergency treatment before an event, apply once for 10-20 minutes and pat in the essence — you do not need to change the rest of that night's routine.
• If you will be in air conditioning for hours right after masking, follow with the Hyalu-Cica Sleeping Pack so the essence's humectants do not pull moisture back out of your skin.
• If your barrier is currently compromised from over-exfoliation, this mask is a reasonable recovery-night pick, but patch test first since even a low, diluted essential oil can sting compromised skin.
• If you are treating a fresh breakout mid-cycle (luteal phase), use it as needed rather than waiting for your usual mask night.

Emergency Flare-Up Kit (3 products): Ampoule Foam Cleanser → this Tea-Trica mask → Centella Ampoule 55ml patted in afterward for extra soothing.

AM Recovery + Sun Defense (2 products): Ampoule Foam Cleanser → SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Hyalu-Cica Water-Fit Sun Serum 50ml SPF50+ for the morning after a mask night.

After purchasing, you will receive our skincare education email series covering this product in depth.

The recommendations above are based on formulation synergy with the SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Tea-Trica Relaxing Mask, not on margin or stock levels. If a pairing does not exist in our catalog, we say so. If you already own a product that fills the same role, use what you have first.

This mask is the right pick if your primary goal is calming an active, inflamed blemish or general redness. If your goal is different, consider these verified, in-catalog options instead:

• For pore refinement/oil control instead of active-blemish calming: SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Poremizing Clarifying Mask 23ml — same brand, but oriented toward pores and oil per the store's own listing rather than tea-tree-led calming. Its own INCI has not been independently verified this run.
• For a daily, bottled alternative rather than a single-use sachet: Anua Heartleaf 77% Soothing Toner 250ml — a leave-on centella-adjacent soothing toner you can use nightly; current stock on this item is limited, so check availability before ordering.

Mindful use reminder: if you already have an unopened calming mask or centella ampoule at home doing the same job, finish that first before buying another.

Choose SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Tea-Trica Relaxing Mask over the Poremizing Clarifying Mask if you need calming for an active, inflamed blemish or general redness rather than pore refinement: the Tea-Trica formula leads with Tea Tree Leaf Water and Centella Asiatica Extract for anti-inflammatory/antimicrobial support.

IF/THEN triggers:

• IF you have an active, inflamed pimple right now, THEN choose this Tea-Trica mask.
• IF your main complaint is enlarged pores or oily congestion rather than active inflammation, THEN the Poremizing Clarifying Mask may suit your goal better.
• IF your barrier is compromised or over-exfoliated right now, THEN do not reach for a stronger pore-clarifying product; use this gentler Tea-Trica mask, or plain barrier repair first.
• IF you want a reusable, daily leave-on option instead of a single-use sachet, THEN consider the Anua Heartleaf Soothing Toner alternative above.

Timing and lane compatibility: both alternatives are PM-preferred, occasional-treatment products with no lane-conflicting actives, so either fits cleanly on a recovery night alongside exfoliants or retinoids used on other nights.

Don't upgrade if: your concern is genuinely pores/oil, not redness (the alternative fits better); you already have an unopened centella-forward mask or ampoule doing this same job; you are looking for a daily foundational step rather than a weekly boost — neither mask is designed for that.

If you match 2 or more upgrade triggers above, THIS is worth choosing. If not, the alternative is sufficient and safer. Consistency beats complexity.

This product's PRIMARY function is: fast-acting redness and inflammation calming for an active blemish or irritated patch. You do not need this if you already own an unused centella- or tea-tree-forward calming mask or ampoule doing the same job — finish that first.

Stacking assessment: No Benefit if you already apply a leave-on centella serum or ampoule during the exact same flare-up (same soothing pathway, just a richer single-session boost). Significant Benefit if nothing calming or anti-redness is currently in your routine and you need it for an occasional flare.

This product is sourced through authorized Korean distributors — primarily Craver Co., Ltd (South Korea), alongside other verified distribution partners. Craver is a major Korean beauty distributor and the parent company of SKIN1004, handling authorized distribution for multiple K-beauty brands. All products are shipped directly to Mauritius via verified channels.

For comprehensive information about how we verify authenticity, our layered verification system, and how to check your product at home, visit our dedicated Authenticity and Trust page.

Quick verification tips: genuine stock should arrive in a fully sealed, unpunctured foil pouch with sharp, high-quality printing; a batch code should be printed on the packaging; a torn or resealed-looking pouch is a general red flag for any single-use sheet mask.

SKIN1004 built its identity around Centella Asiatica sourced from Madagascar as a shared base ingredient across most of its catalog, positioning itself as a gentle, barrier-focused brand rather than a strong-actives one. The Tea-Trica line applies that same centella base to blemish-prone, reactive skin by pairing it with Tea Tree. Whether SKIN1004 manufactures in-house or through contract manufacturers has not been publicly confirmed.

Community reviews for this specific product were not yet available in our research at the time of writing. A prior version of this listing contained several quoted "reviews" attributed to Reddit and YesStyle users, but those quotes could not be independently verified this run — no link, username, or checkable source was available for any of them — so they are not reproduced here. This section will be updated once a genuine, verifiable review search has been completed.

Sustainability: the foil pouch is single-use waste; dispose of it with general trash rather than assuming curbside recycling accepts mixed-material foil laminate in Mauritius. Use any leftover essence on your neck, chest, or hands to minimize waste.

Can I use this mask every day?

No. 1-3 times a week is the sensible ceiling; daily use adds essential-oil exposure without speeding up results.

Does the tea tree scent mean it has added fragrance?

No. The declared INCI has no separate Parfum/Fragrance ingredient — the scent comes directly from the Tea Tree Leaf Water and Oil.

What is the exact pH or active percentage?

Not publicly disclosed by the brand. We report this plainly rather than inventing a number.

Can I skip moisturizer after removing the mask?

No. Pat in the essence, then still apply your regular moisturizer to seal it in, especially in air conditioning.

Is it safe to use alongside a retinoid or acid exfoliant routine?

Yes — it contains no lane-conflicting actives, so it works well as a recovery-night option opposite exfoliants or retinoids used on other nights.

A soothing botanical extract used for calming irritation and supporting skin barrier repair.

Store Policies: For the most up-to-date information, please review our Shipping Policy and Refund Policy.

Best for: anyone with oily, combination, acne-prone, or sensitive skin who wants a fast, targeted way to calm an inflamed blemish or general redness — especially useful as an emergency pre-event treatment in Mauritius's heat and humidity.

Key benefits: two well-documented calming/antimicrobial botanicals in one convenient step, no added synthetic fragrance, no lane-conflicting actives, and a hygienic single-use format for already-irritated skin.

Keep in mind: net volume and active percentages are not disclosed; the single-use format is less economical for near-daily use; the natural tea tree scent is noticeable and can be strong for very fragrance-sensitive users.

Assessment: Consult Oncologist. The formula is fragrance-free (no added Parfum), retinoid-free, and uses a minimal, multifunctional preservative system — generally a favorable profile for treatment-sensitized skin. However, it does contain a diluted essential oil (Tea Tree Leaf Oil), and some oncology skin-care protocols restrict essential oils during active treatment due to heightened sensitivity.

Consult your oncology care team before introducing any new skincare products during treatment.

Antioxidant pollution defense: Centella Asiatica's active compounds (madecassoside, asiaticoside) carry some documented antioxidant-adjacent, anti-inflammatory action, though this mask is not formulated or dosed as a dedicated pollution-defense antioxidant serum — treat any pollution-defense benefit as a secondary bonus, not the primary reason to use it.
