Dealing with rough texture, clogged pores, or occasional breakouts can be frustrating, especially in Mauritius' humid climate. This calming sheet mask offers a gentle yet effective way to reset your skin, using a trio of mild acids to dissolve dead skin cells and impurities without the harshness of a physical scrub.

If your skin feels textured, congested, or looks dull, this mask provides a quick solution. It's a 15-minute treatment designed to gently exfoliate, calm irritation, and hydrate, leaving your skin feeling smoother and looking clearer.

• Best for: Oily, Combination, and Acne-Prone skin types.
• Key Benefits: Gently exfoliates dead skin, helps clear clogged pores, soothes redness and irritation, and provides a boost of hydration.
• What to Expect: Skin feels instantly refreshed, hydrated, and smoother. With regular use, it helps reduce the frequency of minor breakouts and improves overall skin texture.

Use this mask 1-3 times per week in the evening for best results.

1. Cleanser — Start with a clean face.
2. THIS MASK — Apply the sheet mask and relax for 10-20 minutes.
3. Moisturiser — After removing the mask and patting in the essence, seal everything in with your favorite moisturiser.

Mindful Consumption Note: If you already have an exfoliating product, use this mask on alternate nights to avoid over-exfoliation.

• Amount: One full sheet mask.
• Frequency: 1 to 3 times per week, in the evening (PM) only.
• Method:
  1. After cleansing and toning, carefully unfold the mask and place it onto your face, aligning it with your eyes, nose, and mouth.
  2. Smooth out any air bubbles to ensure good contact with the skin.
  3. Leave on for 10-20 minutes. Do not leave it on until it's completely dry.
  4. Remove the mask and gently pat the remaining essence into your skin until fully absorbed. Do not rinse.
  5. Follow with your moisturiser to lock in the treatment.

Watchouts: A slight tingling sensation can be normal due to the acids, but if you experience burning or significant irritation, remove the mask immediately and rinse your face with cool water. As this product contains acids (AHA, BHA), it may increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun. Always use sunscreen during the day.

This is an exfoliating treatment and should not be used on the same night as other strong actives like high-concentration Vitamin C, retinoids, or other acid peels.

Example PM Routine for Exfoliation:

• Monday: Soothing/Hydrating Routine (no strong actives)
• Tuesday: THIS MASK
• Wednesday: Soothing/Hydrating Routine
• Thursday: Soothing/Hydrating Routine
• Friday: THIS MASK (if needed)
• Saturday: Soothing/Hydrating Routine
• Sunday: Soothing/Hydrating Routine or a Sleeping Pack

Rule of Thumb: One exfoliating active per night is plenty. Listen to your skin; if it feels sensitive, skip the actives and focus on hydration and repair.

• Immediately: Skin feels refreshed, hydrated, and appears calmer. Surface texture may feel slightly smoother.
• After 2-4 Weeks (with 2-3x weekly use): You may notice a reduction in minor clogged pores and blackheads. Skin texture feels more refined and looks brighter as dead skin cells are cleared away.
• After 4-8+ Weeks: With consistent use and daily sun protection, skin appears clearer and breakouts may become less frequent. The overall complexion looks more even and balanced.

• Why use a gentle acid mask, not a harsh physical scrub? Many people in Mauritius turn to abrasive scrubs (like those made with sugar or apricot pits) to combat oiliness and texture. However, these can create micro-tears in the skin, damage the skin barrier, and worsen inflammation and post-acne dark spots (PIH). This mask uses a blend of gentle chemical exfoliants (AHA, BHA, PHA) to dissolve the bonds holding dead skin cells together, effectively smoothing the skin without causing physical damage. It's a safer, more effective way to achieve a clear, smooth complexion.

• Works Well With: Hydrating and soothing ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Snail Mucin, Centella Asiatica, Panthenol, and Ceramides. Applying a hydrating toner before the mask and a barrier-supporting cream after can enhance results and comfort.
• Use Carefully With / Avoid Same Night: Other strong exfoliating products (high percentage AHAs, BHAs), retinoids (Retinol, Retinal), and high-concentration Vitamin C serums. Using them together can lead to over-exfoliation and irritation. Alternate these products on different nights.

• Excellent For: Oily, Combination, Acne-Prone Skin.
• Good For: Normal skin looking for a gentle exfoliating boost.
• Use with Caution: Dry or Sensitive skin. The acids, though gentle, may be too much for highly reactive or very dry skin types. A patch test is highly recommended. If you have sensitive skin, consider the SOME BY MI Real Cica Calming Care Mask as a gentler alternative.

• Dullness and uneven skin texture
• Clogged pores, blackheads, and whiteheads

Key Actives Explained:

• Betaine Salicylate (BHA): A gentler, oil-soluble exfoliant that penetrates pores to dissolve sebum and dead skin cells, helping to clear blackheads and prevent breakouts.
• Citric Acid (AHA): An Alpha Hydroxy Acid derived from citrus fruits that works on the skin's surface to slough off dead cells, improving texture and brightness.
• Lactobionic Acid (PHA): A Polyhydroxy Acid with larger molecules than AHAs, providing very gentle surface exfoliation while also acting as a humectant to hydrate the skin. Ideal for sensitive skin.
• Centella Asiatica Extract & Madecassoside: A powerful soothing duo derived from the "Tiger Grass" plant, known for its ability to calm inflammation, reduce redness, and promote skin healing.
• Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Extract: Known for its natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, making it effective for calming breakouts.

Full INCI List:

Water, Glycerin, Propanediol, Betaine Salicylate, Cetearyl Alcohol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Cetyl Ethylhexanoate, Melaleuca Alternifolia (Tea Tree) Leaf Extract, Centella Asiatica Extract, Madecassoside, Asiatic Acid, Asiaticoside, Madecassic Acid, Sodium Hyaluronate, Butylene Glycol, Glyceryl Stearate, Allantoin, Carbomer, Arginine, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Potassium Cetyl Phosphate, Citric Acid, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Gluconolactone, Disodium EDTA.

• Fragrance Status: Contains essential oils (e.g., from Tea Tree) which give it a natural, medicinal, and herbal scent. Intensity: 2/5 (noticeable but fades).
• EU Allergens: The INCI does not list common EU allergens, but those with sensitivities to botanical extracts or essential oils should perform a patch test.

Who should use it: Individuals with oily, combination, or acne-prone skin looking for gentle exfoliation and calming care.

Who should be cautious: Those with very sensitive, dry, or compromised skin (e.g., eczema, rosacea) should approach with caution. Not recommended for use on broken or irritated skin.

Photosensitivity Warning: This product contains AHA and BHA which can increase your skin's sensitivity to the sun and the possibility of sunburn. Use a sunscreen, wear protective clothing, and limit sun exposure while using this product and for a week afterwards.

Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a small amount of the essence from the packet to a discreet area, like behind your ear or on your jawline. Wait 24-48 hours. If you experience any burning, itching, or rash, do not use the mask on your face.

Teens: Suitable for teens with oily or acne-prone skin, but should be integrated into a simple routine of cleanser, moisturiser, and daily sunscreen.

• Texture: A thin, soft cotton sheet mask generously soaked in a lightweight, watery essence.
• Scent: A distinct, clean, and medicinal scent characteristic of tea tree.
• Finish: After removal, the skin is left feeling hydrated and refreshed. The remaining essence absorbs with some light patting, leaving a slightly dewy but non-greasy finish.
• pH: The essence is formulated at a slightly acidic pH to ensure the effectiveness of the exfoliating acids while remaining gentle on the skin.

• Issue: My skin is tingling or feels slightly warm.
  Solution: A mild, brief tingle can be normal for some when using acids for the first time. However, if it persists or turns into burning, remove the mask immediately. Your skin barrier might be slightly compromised. Ensure you are not using other exfoliants and are moisturizing well.
• Issue: I don't see a difference after one use.
  Solution: This is a gentle exfoliant, not an intense peel. Results are cumulative. Consistent use (1-3 times a week) over several weeks is needed to see significant improvements in texture and breakouts. Ensure you're also cleansing properly and wearing sunscreen daily to protect the results.

This mask is exceptionally well-suited for the Mauritian climate.

• Humid Summers: The lightweight essence and oil-controlling properties of BHA and Tea Tree are perfect for managing the increased sebum and breakouts common in our hot, humid weather. The calming ingredients help soothe heat-induced redness.
• Drier Winters: While still effective, ensure you follow up with a slightly richer moisturiser during the cooler, drier months to keep your skin hydrated and balanced after exfoliation.

Aggregated sentiment from online beauty communities. Individual results may vary.

• The Positive: Many users with oily and combination skin report that this mask is a great weekly "reset." A Picky reviewer (Oily/Resilient skin, 2022) noted, "I had some break-outs and this mask calmed and gently exfoliated my skin... The exfoliating ingredients will do great to oily/combo skin."
• The Hydrating Effect: Users are often pleasantly surprised by the hydrating feel. An Amazon customer review (2024) mentioned that it leaves skin feeling "refreshed and moisturized" without being heavy.
• The Caveat (for some): Those with very sensitive skin sometimes experience a tingling or slight stinging sensation. A Picky reviewer (Oily/Sensitive skin, 2022) mentioned it felt "a bit sharp on the face, especially around the nose." This highlights the importance of patch testing if your skin is reactive.

At Adilsons, we are committed to providing you with only 100% authentic, high-quality K-beauty products. We carefully curate our selection based on efficacy, safety, and suitability for the Mauritian climate, ensuring you receive products that are both effective and trustworthy. Your skin health is our priority.

1. How often can I use this mask?
   It's best to use it 1-3 times per week in the evening. Daily use is not recommended as it can lead to over-exfoliation.
2. Can I use this with my retinol serum?
   No, do not use this mask on the same night as a retinol product or other strong exfoliants. Alternate them on different nights to avoid irritation. For example, use this mask on Tuesday and your retinol on Thursday.
3. Will this mask make my skin peel?
   It is a very gentle chemical exfoliant, so noticeable peeling is unlikely for most people. It works by dissolving dead skin cells rather than causing visible shedding. If you experience significant peeling or irritation, discontinue use.
4. Is the essence supposed to be sticky?
   The remaining essence can feel slightly tacky at first. This is normal. Gently pat it into the skin for a minute or two, and it should absorb fully. Following up with a moisturiser will also resolve any tackiness.
