Dealing with enlarged pores and excess shine in the heat can feel like a constant battle. This clarifying sheet mask from SKIN1004 is designed as a targeted treatment to deeply cleanse, refine the appearance of pores, and absorb excess sebum without stripping the skin. Formulated with mineral-rich Pink Himalayan Salt and a blend of gentle exfoliating acids (AHA, BHA, PHA, LHA), it helps to clear out impurities and smooth skin texture. The inclusion of high-purity Centella Asiatica from Madagascar ensures the skin remains soothed and calm throughout the clarifying process, making it a perfect weekly reset for oily and combination skin in Mauritius.

If your main concerns are visible pores, blackheads, and a shiny T-zone, this mask offers a focused solution.

• Who it's for: Oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types.
• What it does: Helps tighten the appearance of pores, absorbs excess oil, and gently exfoliates for a smoother, more refined complexion.
• Key Ingredients: Centella Asiatica Extract (soothing), Pink Himalayan Salt (purifying), 4-Acid Complex (AHA, BHA, PHA, LHA for exfoliation), Succinic Acid (sebum control).
• Texture: A soft, vegan-certified microfiber sheet soaked in a refreshing, watery essence.

Use this mask 1-2 times per week for a deep cleanse.

1. Cleanser — Wash your face to create a clean base.
2. [THIS PRODUCT] — Apply the sheet mask and leave it on for 10-20 minutes.
3. Moisturiser (PM) — After removing the mask and patting in the essence, apply a light moisturiser to seal everything in.

Note: This is a treatment mask. Use it to supplement your routine, not as a daily step.

Incorporate this mask into your evening routine 1-2 times per week.

• Minimalist (3-4 steps): 1) Cleanser (double-cleanse if wearing makeup/sunscreen) → 2) Toner → 3) [THIS PRODUCT] (10-20 mins) → 4) Moisturiser.
• Optional: On nights you don't use this mask, you can use other targeted serums. Avoid using other strong exfoliants on the same night as the mask to prevent irritation.
• Texture rule: Thinnest → thickest. This mask comes after your watery toner step.

• Frequency: 1 to 2 times per week, preferably in the evening.
• Amount: One full sheet mask per session.
• Apply to: A clean and toned face.
• Method:
  1. After cleansing and toning, carefully unfold the mask and place it evenly on your face, avoiding the eye and mouth areas.
  2. Leave on for 10-20 minutes.
  3. Remove the mask and gently pat the remaining essence into your skin until fully absorbed. Do not rinse.
  4. Follow up with your favourite serum or moisturiser.
• Pro Tip: For an extra cooling and soothing effect, store the mask in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes before use. This is especially refreshing in the Mauritian heat!

This is a treatment mask, not for daily use. Here’s how you can fit it into your week:

• Example Week (PM Focus):
  • Mon: Gentle routine (cleanse, hydrate, moisturise)
  • Tue: THIS MASK
  • Wed: Gentle routine
  • Thu: Gentle routine
  • Fri: THIS MASK (or skip if skin feels sensitive)
  • Sat: Gentle routine
  • Sun: Gentle routine

Rules: On the nights you use this mask, avoid using other potent exfoliants (like high-strength AHA/BHA serums or retinol) to prevent over-exfoliation and irritation. Listen to your skin; if it feels sensitive, stick to once a week.

• Immediate: Skin feels deeply cleansed, refreshed, and appears less shiny. Pores may look temporarily tighter and refined.
• 2–4 Weeks: With consistent weekly use (1-2 times), you may notice a reduction in blackheads and less congestion. Skin texture feels smoother.
• 4–8+ Weeks: Sebum production appears more balanced, leading to less midday oiliness. The overall appearance of pores is improved and clearer.

• Why use this, not harsh physical scrubs? Many believe scrubbing aggressively is the only way to clean pores. This can cause micro-tears, irritation, and even worsen hyperpigmentation (PIH). This mask uses a blend of gentle chemical exfoliants (AHA, BHA, PHA, LHA) to dissolve impurities within the pores, providing a deep clean without abrasive damage.

• Works Well With: Hydrating and soothing ingredients like Hyaluronic Acid, Panthenol, and Beta-Glucan. Following the mask with a hydrating serum can help replenish moisture and keep skin balanced.
• Use Carefully With: Other active ingredients. On the night you use this mask, avoid layering it with other strong exfoliants (like glycolic acid serums or leave-on BHA treatments) or high-concentration retinoids to prevent potential irritation.
• Avoid On: Broken, wounded, or severely irritated skin.

• Oily / Combination Skin: Excellent. Specifically designed to target excess sebum and enlarged pores common in these skin types.
• Acne-Prone Skin: Very suitable. The clarifying and gently exfoliating properties help to keep pores clear and prevent breakouts.
• Normal Skin: Good for a weekly deep cleanse, especially if you experience occasional oiliness or congestion in your T-zone.
• Dry / Sensitive Skin: Use with caution. The clarifying properties might be too drying. If you wish to try it, use it only on congested areas (like the nose) for a shorter duration (10 minutes) and follow up with a rich, nourishing moisturiser. A patch test is highly recommended.

Key Actives Explained:

• Centella Asiatica Extract (1,000ppm): Sourced from Madagascar, this hero ingredient is renowned for its powerful soothing and calming properties, helping to reduce redness and keep skin comfortable during the clarifying process.
• Mineral Salts (Pink Himalayan Salt): Rich in minerals, these salts help to draw out impurities from the pores and absorb excess sebum, leaving the skin feeling clean and refreshed.
• AHA, BHA, PHA, LHA Complex: A quadruple-acid blend for gentle, multi-level exfoliation.
  • AHA (Citric Acid) & PHA (Gluconolactone): Work on the skin's surface to slough off dead skin cells.
  • BHA (Betaine Salicylate) & LHA (Capryloyl Salicylic Acid): Being oil-soluble, they penetrate deeper into the pores to dissolve sebum and prevent blockages. LHA is known for being particularly gentle.
• Succinic Acid: Helps to regulate sebum production and provides gentle exfoliation, contributing to clearer pores.
• Panthenol & Allantoin: Soothing agents that help to hydrate the skin and prevent the stripping or drying feeling often associated with clarifying masks.

Full INCI List:

Water, Dipropylene Glycol, Glycerin, Glycereth-26, Butylene Glycol, Panthenol, Hydroxyacetophenone, Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, Carbomer, Caprylyl Glycol, Arginine, Centella Asiatica Extract(1,000 ppm), 1,2-Hexanediol, Adenosine, Pentylene Glycol, Xanthan Gum, Propanediol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Allantoin, Sodium Hyaluronate, Disodium EDTA, Succinic Acid, Lactobacillus/Hibiscus Sabdariffa Flower Ferment Filtrate, Citric Acid, Tromethamine, Betaine Salicylate, Glycolipids, Gluconolactone, Mentha Arvensis Leaf Oil, Dipotassium Glycyrrhizate, Hydrolyzed Collagen, Mineral Salts, Capryloyl Salicylic Acid.

• Fragrance Status: Contains Mentha Arvensis (Wild Mint) Leaf Oil, which gives it a natural, refreshing minty scent. No synthetic fragrances are added. Intensity: 2/5 (light and fresh).
• EU Allergens: None of the 26 declarable EU allergens are listed in the official INCI. However, natural essential oils can contain trace components that may be sensitizing to some individuals.
• Botanical Cross-Reactivity: Individuals with a known sensitivity to mint should perform a patch test.

Based on brand-declared INCI; trace fragrance components may persist from botanicals; patch test advised.

• Who should use with caution: Those with very dry, sensitive, or barrier-compromised skin, as the exfoliating and sebum-absorbing properties may be too strong.
• Pregnancy/BF: Contains a BHA derivative (Betaine Salicylate) and LHA. While the concentration is low and topical absorption is minimal, it is generally recommended to consult with a doctor before using salicylic acid-containing products during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a small amount of the essence from the pouch to a discreet area, like behind the ear or on the jawline. Wait 24-48 hours to check for any signs of irritation, redness, or itching. If a reaction occurs, do not use the mask.
• If irritation occurs: Stop use immediately. If you experience tingling that turns into burning or a rash, remove the mask, rinse your face with cool water, and apply a simple, soothing moisturiser.

• Texture: The mask itself is a thin, soft microfiber sheet. It's saturated in a clear, watery, and slightly viscous essence that feels refreshing and non-sticky.
• Finish: After removal, the skin feels clean, smooth, and hydrated with a matte-to-natural finish. It does not leave a greasy or heavy residue.
• Scent: A light, natural minty scent from the Mentha Arvensis Leaf Oil.
• pH: The formula is weakly acidic to maintain a healthy skin balance. The exact pH is not published by the brand.
• FA/Comedogenicity Caveat: The formula contains Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, which can sometimes be a trigger for Fungal Acne (Malassezia). However, individual responses vary. It is generally considered non-comedogenic for oily skin types.

• Issue: My skin feels a bit tingly.
  Quick Fix: A slight, cool tingling sensation can be normal due to the mint oil and acids. However, if it becomes uncomfortable or turns into a burning sensation, remove the mask immediately and rinse your face.
• Issue: My skin feels dry after using the mask.
  Quick Fix: This is a clarifying mask, so it's designed to absorb oil. If your skin feels tight, ensure you're following up with a sufficiently hydrating serum and/or moisturiser. You may also want to reduce the usage time to 10 minutes or use it less frequently.
• Issue: I'm not seeing results after one use.
  Quick Fix: Pore care and texture improvement are gradual processes. This mask provides an immediate cleansing benefit, but visible changes in pore size and congestion require consistent weekly use over several weeks.

• Humid Summer: This mask is an excellent choice for the hot and humid Mauritian summer. Use it 1-2 times a week to manage the increased oiliness, sweat, and congestion that the climate can cause. Storing it in the fridge before use provides an incredibly refreshing and cooling treat.
• Drier Winter: During the cooler, drier months, you might find your skin is less oily. Reduce usage to once a week or once every two weeks if your skin feels it doesn't need as much clarifying. Always follow up with a good moisturiser.
• AC/Indoor Air: If you spend a lot of time in air-conditioned environments, your skin can become dehydrated. While this mask helps with pores, ensure you are also using hydrating products in your routine to maintain a healthy moisture balance.

• For Gentle Soothing & Hydration: SKIN1004 MADAGASCAR CENTELLA WATERGEL SHEET AMPOULE MASK 25ML — Choose this if your skin is feeling sensitive, red, or irritated and needs calming hydration more than deep pore cleansing.

• For a Clay-Based Wash-Off Experience: AXIS-Y MUGWORT PORE CLARIFYING WASH OFF PACK 100ML — Choose this if you prefer the texture and deep-cleaning sensation of a traditional clay mask. It's great for absorbing oil and soothing breakouts with the added benefits of mugwort.

Mindful-use: If you already have a comparable clarifying mask at home, finish it first to avoid waste and get a fair read on its results before trying a new one.

• Format: Comes in a box containing 5 individually wrapped, single-use sheet masks in foil pouches.
• Applicator: The sheet mask itself is the applicator.
• Sustainability: The outer box is recyclable cardboard. The sheet mask material is vegan-certified and biodegradable. The individual foil pouches are not typically recyclable in standard municipal streams; please dispose of them in the trash.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Storing them in the refrigerator is a popular option for an enhanced cooling effect.
• Travel: The individual pouches are flat, lightweight, and perfect for travel.

Aggregated sentiment from online communities suggests this mask is effective for its intended purpose, but may not be hydrating enough for drier skin types.

• "True to its pore care claims, this face mask has a wonderfully refreshing and lightweight essence. However, it falls short on hydration, leaving my skin feeling quite dry. If you have dry skin, you'll definitely need to follow up with a moisturizer. This mask seems better suited for those with oily or combination skin." - Hwahae review (2025-08)
• "The mask sheet adheres well to the skin, doesn't cause any irritation, and leaves my skin feeling hydrated. It's supposed to be a vegan-certified mask sheet, but I can't really tell the difference between this and regular sheet masks." - Hwahae review (2025-02)
• Fair Caveat: Several reviewers with dry skin noted that while the mask was refreshing and good for pores, it was not sufficiently moisturizing on its own and required a good cream afterwards.

SKIN1004 (pronounced "Skin Cheon-sa," which means "Skin Angel" in Korean) is an award-winning natural skincare brand from South Korea. Their core philosophy is to use the highest quality, pure ingredients sourced from nature. Their signature ingredient is Centella Asiatica, harvested from the pristine environment of Madagascar, which is known to have the purest and most potent form of the herb. SKIN1004 is committed to creating gentle, effective, and cruelty-free formulas suitable for even sensitive skin.

• Centella Asiatica: A medicinal herb known for its soothing, calming, and skin-repairing properties. Often called "Cica" or "Tiger Grass."
• AHA (Alpha Hydroxy Acid): Water-soluble acids (like Citric Acid) that exfoliate the skin's surface, helping with texture and dullness.
• BHA (Beta Hydroxy Acid): Oil-soluble acids (like Salicylic Acid and its derivatives) that can penetrate pores to clear out sebum and dead skin cells.
• PHA (Polyhydroxy Acid): A gentler cousin to AHAs, with larger molecules that exfoliate the surface without penetrating as deeply, making them suitable for sensitive skin.
• LHA (Lipo Hydroxy Acid): A derivative of salicylic acid that is very gentle and lipophilic, providing cell-by-cell exfoliation within the stratum corneum.
• Sheet Mask: A single-use face-shaped sheet, typically made of fabric or gel, soaked in a nutrient-rich serum or essence.

At Adilsons, we are committed to providing you with authentic, high-quality K-beauty products. Our curation philosophy is rooted in truthfulness and consumer protection. We source directly from official channels to ensure every product you receive is 100% genuine. Your skin's health and your trust are our top priorities.

1. How often should I use this mask?

We recommend using it 1-2 times per week as a deep cleansing treatment. Listen to your skin—if it feels dry or sensitive, reduce frequency to once a week.

2. Can I use this if I have dry skin?

It is primarily designed for oily and combination skin. If you have dry skin but are concerned about pores, you can try using it for a shorter duration (10 minutes) and only on congested areas. Always follow with a rich moisturiser.

3. What's the difference between this and a clay mask?

While both clarify pores, a clay mask primarily works by absorbing oil and impurities as it dries. This sheet mask uses a combination of mineral salts to absorb sebum and a blend of chemical exfoliants (AHA, BHA, PHA, LHA) to dissolve dead skin and clear pores, all while providing hydration from its essence base.

4. There's extra essence in the pouch. What can I do with it?

Don't let it go to waste! You can pat the leftover essence onto your neck, chest, elbows, and hands for extra hydration and care.

• Best For: Individuals with oily, combination, or congested skin looking for a weekly treatment to refine pores and control shine.
• Key Benefits: Visibly clarifies pores, absorbs excess sebum, provides gentle multi-level exfoliation, and soothes the skin with Centella Asiatica.
