Dealing with enlarged pores, blackheads, and excess shine in Mauritius's humid weather can feel like a constant battle. This innovative clay mask stick offers a quick, clean, and effective solution.

• What it is: A soft, creamy clay mask in a convenient, travel-friendly stick format.
• What it does: Deeply cleanses pores, absorbs excess sebum, and gently exfoliates to reduce the appearance of blackheads and whiteheads.
• Who it's for: Ideal for oily, combination, and normal skin types struggling with clogged or enlarged pores and excess oil.
• Key benefit: Achieves clearer, smoother-looking skin in just 3-5 minutes without the mess of traditional clay masks.

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean face.
2. THIS PRODUCT (1-2x a week): On dry skin, glide the stick over areas of concern like the T-zone. Leave for 3-5 minutes, then rinse.
3. Moisturiser: Follow with a light moisturiser to keep skin balanced.

Note: Already own a clay mask? Finish that first to avoid waste (substitute, don’t stack).

• Frequency: Use 1 to 2 times per week, on non-consecutive days.
• Apply to: Clean, dry skin. Glide the stick over the face, focusing on the T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) or any areas with enlarged pores. Avoid the immediate eye and mouth areas.
• Amount: Apply a thin, even layer. The stick format makes it easy to control.
• Method:
  1. Twist the base to reveal the clay stick.
  2. Apply directly to the skin.
  3. Leave on for 3-5 minutes until it dries.
  4. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water, massaging gently as you rinse to allow the red bean powder to exfoliate.
• If-This / Then-That:
  • Very oily T-zone? You can use the mask on just your T-zone to absorb oil without drying out your cheeks.
  • Sensitive skin? Leave on for only 2-3 minutes to start, and check for any signs of dryness. Always follow with a soothing moisturiser.
  • Stubborn blackheads? After rinsing, follow up with a hydrating toner and serum to keep pores clean and skin balanced.
• Safety: For external use only. Avoid using on broken or irritated skin. Stop use if a rash or burning occurs.

This is a treatment mask, not a daily product. Use it 1-2 times a week on nights when you are not using other strong exfoliants (like AHA/BHA serums or retinoids).

Example Week (PM focus):

• Mon: Soothing/Hydrating Routine (Cleanser, Toner, Serum, Moisturiser)
• Tue: THIS PRODUCT (Cleanser, Clay Stick Mask, rinse, then Toner, Moisturiser)
• Wed: Soothing/Hydrating Routine
• Thu: Exfoliant Night (e.g., AHA/BHA Toner) OR Soothing Routine
• Fri: THIS PRODUCT (if using twice a week)
• Sat: Soothing/Hydrating Routine
• Sun: Soothing/Hydrating Routine

Rule: Do not use this clay mask on the same night as strong acids or retinoids to avoid over-exfoliating and drying out your skin.

• Immediately: Skin feels instantly refreshed, smoother, and appears less shiny. Pores may look temporarily tighter and cleaner.
• After 2-4 Weeks: With consistent use (1-2 times a week), you may notice a visible reduction in blackheads and less congestion. Skin feels less oily throughout the day.
• After 4-8+ Weeks: Overall skin texture appears more refined and clear. Pores look consistently cleaner and less prominent.

• Why this, not harsh scrubs? This mask uses a combination of fine clay and gentle red bean powder to purify pores. This is much safer than aggressive physical scrubs (like those with large, jagged particles) which can cause micro-tears in the skin, leading to irritation and worsening post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH).

• Works Well With: Hydrating and soothing ingredients. After using the mask, follow up with products containing Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol, or more Centella Asiatica to replenish moisture and keep skin calm.
• Use Carefully With: Other exfoliating products. Avoid using this mask on the same day as high-concentration AHA, BHA, or retinoid products to prevent potential dryness and irritation.
• Avoid On: Do not apply to broken, wounded, or actively inflamed skin (e.g., open acne sores).

• Oily Skin: Excellent. Effectively absorbs excess sebum and helps keep pores clear.
• Combination Skin: Excellent. Perfect for targeted application on the T-zone or oily areas.
• Normal Skin: Good for occasional use on areas prone to congestion, like the nose and chin.
• Dry Skin: Use with caution. May be too drying if used all over. Best for T-zone only, and always follow with a rich moisturiser.
• Sensitive Skin: Patch test is essential. The clays and physical exfoliants may be too stimulating for highly reactive skin. Limit use to 3 minutes.

• Enlarged or Clogged Pores
• Excess Sebum / Oily Skin

Key Actives Explained:

• Kaolin (18%), Bentonite, Montmorillonite, Illite: A powerful blend of five different types of clay that act like magnets to absorb excess oil, dirt, and impurities from deep within the pores, leaving skin feeling fresh and clean.
• Centella Asiatica Extract (4.9%): SKIN1004's signature ingredient, sourced from Madagascar. It is renowned for its powerful soothing and calming properties, helping to reduce redness and irritation often associated with pore congestion and deep cleansing.
• Phaseolus Angularis (Red Bean) Seed Powder: Finely milled adzuki bean powder provides a gentle physical exfoliation as you rinse the mask off, helping to slough away dead skin cells for a smoother texture.
• Aloe Barbadensis Leaf Extract: A well-known soothing and hydrating botanical that ensures the skin does not feel stripped or overly dry after the deep cleansing action of the clays.

• EU Allergens: None declared by the brand based on the provided INCI list.

Who should use with caution: This product is designed for oily and combination skin. Those with very dry or sensitive skin should use it sparingly (T-zone only) and for a shorter duration (2-3 minutes) to avoid potential dryness. Not recommended for those with active eczema or rosacea flare-ups without consulting a dermatologist.

Patch Test Protocol:

1. Apply a small amount of the product to a clean patch of skin, such as behind the ear or on the jawline.
2. Leave it on for 3-5 minutes, then rinse off.
3. Wait 24 hours to observe for any signs of redness, itching, or irritation. If a reaction occurs, discontinue use. Re-check at 48 and 72 hours for any delayed reactions.

Kids/Teens: Suitable for teens with oily or acne-prone skin. For younger users, skincare should be limited to a basic routine of cleanser, moisturiser, and SPF unless guided by a clinician.

• Texture: A soft, solid balm that glides smoothly and creamily onto the skin without tugging.
• Feel During Use: Applies coolly and feels comfortable on the skin as it dries. It does not feel overly tight or cracking like some traditional clay masks.
• Finish After Rinsing: Skin is left feeling exceptionally smooth, soft, and clean with a matte, non-greasy finish.
• pH: Not officially published by the brand, but clay masks typically have a neutral to slightly alkaline pH (around 6.0-7.5) to effectively draw out impurities.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: Contains Sodium Stearate, Cetearyl Olivate, and Sorbitan Olivate which may pose a risk for some individuals with fungal acne. Patch testing is advised.

• Issue: My skin feels a bit tight after use.
  • Solution: You may be leaving the mask on for too long, or using it too frequently. Reduce the time to 2-3 minutes and use only once a week. Always follow up immediately with a hydrating toner and moisturiser.
• Issue: It's hard to rinse off completely.
  • Solution: Use lukewarm water and gentle circular motions to loosen the mask. You can also use a soft, damp washcloth or a cleansing sponge to help wipe it away cleanly.
• Issue: I'm not seeing a big difference in my blackheads.
  • Solution: Clay masks primarily absorb excess oil. For stubborn blackheads, which are hardened plugs of sebum, consistent use is key. Pair this mask with a BHA (Salicylic Acid) toner or serum on alternate days to dissolve the plugs from within the pore.

• Humid Summer: This mask is a lifesaver. Use it 1-2 times a week in the evening to deeply cleanse sweat, sunscreen buildup, and excess oil, helping to prevent the clogged pores that lead to breakouts in our tropical heat.
• Drier Winter/AC Exposure: You may find you only need it once a week, or just on your T-zone. If you spend long hours in air-conditioning, which can be drying, be sure to follow up with a nourishing moisturiser after using the mask.
• Overall: The stick format is perfect for the Mauritian lifestyle—it's quick, requires no messy mixing, and is easy to travel with, making it simple to maintain your pore care routine consistently.

At Adilsons, we guarantee 100% authenticity. All our SKIN1004 products are sourced directly from the brand or its authorized distributors in South Korea.

• Ingredient Rationale: The product's claims for sebum absorption and pore purification are based on the well-documented properties of its key ingredients. Multiple dermatological studies confirm that clays like Kaolin and Bentonite effectively absorb excess oil and impurities from the skin's surface.
• Ingredient Rationale: The soothing effects are attributed to Centella Asiatica Extract, an ingredient with extensive research supporting its anti-inflammatory and barrier-supporting benefits.

• Size: 27g
• Estimated Uses: Approximately 25-35 full-face applications, or 50+ T-zone applications.
• Reorder Cadence (using 1-2x a week): One stick should last approximately 3-6 months, making it a very cost-effective treatment for maintaining clear pores.

At Adilsons, we are committed to providing you with only 100% authentic, high-quality skincare products. We carefully curate our selection based on efficacy, safety, and ethical standards, ensuring you receive the best that K-Beauty has to offer, tailored for the Mauritian context.

1. How is this different from a clay mask in a jar?
The stick format offers a quicker, more hygienic, and less messy application. You can apply it directly to your face without using your fingers, and it's perfect for travel.

2. Can I use this if I have dry or sensitive skin?
You can, but with caution. It's best to apply it only to oily or congested areas (like the nose and chin) and for a shorter duration (2-3 minutes). Always follow with a hydrating routine.

3. Does it help with acne?
It helps prevent acne by keeping pores clean and absorbing excess oil, which are common causes of breakouts. For active, inflamed acne, it can help soothe redness due to its Centella content, but it is not a direct acne treatment.

4. How much product should I twist up?
Only twist up a small amount (about half a centimeter) at a time to prevent the stick from breaking during application.
