Dealing with inflamed, angry spots that feel hot and bothered can be frustrating. This is not a pimple-absorbing patch, but a targeted soothing treatment designed to quickly calm redness and irritation before a blemish fully surfaces.

• What it is: A pack of four soft, essence-soaked pads designed to be placed on specific areas of inflammation, like the cheeks, forehead, or chin.
• Who it's for: Ideal for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types experiencing red, inflamed, or sensitive blemishes that haven't come to a head.
• Key Benefits: Rapidly calms visible redness, provides a cooling sensation to irritated spots, and delivers focused hydration to support the skin barrier during a breakout.
• Texture: Thin, soft, rectangular fabric pads saturated in a lightweight, watery essence.

1. Cleanser: Start with a clean base.
2. THIS PRODUCT: After toning, apply the pads to inflamed areas for 5-10 minutes.
3. Sunscreen (AM) / Moisturiser (PM): After removing pads and patting in the essence, seal and protect the area.

Note: Already have a soothing serum? Use this mask on days your skin needs extra calming, substituting it for your serum in that routine to avoid overloading the skin.

• Minimalist (3-4 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) Hydrating Toner → 3) [THIS PRODUCT] (Optional, for 5-10 min on spots if needed) → 4) Sunscreen SPF 30+
• Optional: If your sunscreen isn't hydrating, you can apply a lightweight, non-comedogenic moisturiser before your SPF.
• Wait times: After removing the mask pads and patting in the essence, wait 1-2 minutes before applying sunscreen or makeup.

• Minimalist (3-4 steps): 1) Cleanser (Double-cleanse if wearing makeup/sunscreen) → 2) Toner → 3) [THIS PRODUCT] (For 5-10 min on inflamed areas) → 4) Moisturiser.
• Optional: You can follow with a spot treatment cream on blemishes after the mask essence has absorbed.
• Texture rule: Apply these pads after your thinnest products (toner) and before thicker products (creams).

This is a targeted treatment for calming inflammation, not a full-face sheet mask or an absorbing pimple patch.

• Amount: The pack contains 4 rectangular pads. Use as many as needed to cover the inflamed areas (e.g., two on the cheeks, one on the forehead).
• Apply to: Clean, toned skin. Place the pads directly onto red, sore, or irritated blemishes.
• Method: After peeling off the plastic film, gently adhere the pads to the skin. Leave on for 5-10 minutes. After removing, lightly tap the remaining essence into the skin until absorbed. Do not rinse.
• Frequency: Use as needed, day or night, when you feel a spot forming or have areas of redness and irritation.

If-This / Then-That:

• If you have a large cluster of spots: You can place two pads side-by-side to cover a larger area like the chin or jawline.
• If a spot feels very hot and angry: For an extra cooling effect, you can store the mask pack in the refrigerator before use.
• If you have a whitehead: This mask is for inflammation, not absorption. Use this to calm the redness around the spot, but for absorbing pus, use a hydrocolloid patch (like the COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch) after the whitehead has surfaced.

Safety: For external use only. Avoid using on open wounds or broken skin. Discontinue use if a rash or persistent irritation occurs.

This is an "S.O.S." treatment to be used whenever inflammation appears, rather than on a fixed weekly schedule.

• When to use: Use it on any day, AM or PM, as soon as you notice a red, sore blemish forming.
• Example Usage: You wake up on Tuesday with an inflamed spot on your cheek. In your PM routine that day, after cleansing and toning, you apply a pad from the Dressing Mask Pack for 10 minutes before proceeding with your moisturiser.
• Rule for Actives: It is generally safe to use this soothing mask in a routine with other actives. However, avoid placing it directly over a spot where you have just applied a high-concentration exfoliant (like a strong AHA/BHA peel). You can use your exfoliant on other parts of your face, or use them on alternate nights.

This mask provides immediate soothing relief. It helps manage the lifecycle of an inflammatory spot but is not a preventative treatment on its own.

• Immediate (First 10 minutes): A distinct cooling sensation on the inflamed area. After removal, the initial bright redness of the blemish appears visibly calmer and less pronounced.
• Within 2-4 hours: The spot feels less tender and "hot." Swelling may be slightly reduced.
• After 1-2 days (if used daily on a spot): Helps to significantly shorten the period of intense inflammation, encouraging the blemish to calm down faster without coming to an aggressive head.

Individual results may vary. Consistent use of a suitable core routine is key to managing acne long-term.

• Why this, not a harsh, drying spot treatment:
  • The Myth: "The best way to treat a pimple is to dry it out completely with toothpaste, pure alcohol, or a high-strength acid."
  • The Safer Truth: Harshly drying out a blemish can severely damage your skin barrier. This often leads to more inflammation, a longer healing time, and a higher risk of leaving behind a dark mark (post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation), which can be a major concern in Mauritius' sunny climate. This dressing mask works by calming the inflammation—the root of the pain and redness—without stripping the skin. This promotes a healthier, faster healing process and reduces the likelihood of scarring or PIH.

• Works Well With:
  • Hydrating Toners & Essences: Applying this after a hydrating layer can help the soothing ingredients work more effectively.
  • Gentle Moisturisers: Follow up with a simple, non-comedogenic moisturiser to lock in the essence.
  • Sunscreen: Essential to apply during the day to protect the vulnerable, healing spot from UV damage and prevent hyperpigmentation.
  • Hydrocolloid Patches: Use this mask to calm inflammation first. If the spot later comes to a head, you can then use a hydrocolloid patch to absorb pus.
• Use With Caution:
  • Exfoliating Acids (AHA/BHA) & Retinoids: Avoid applying this mask immediately on top of a strong, leave-on exfoliant on the same spot, as this could lead to over-stimulation. It's better to use them at different times (e.g., acid toner at night, this mask in the morning).

• Oily & Acne-Prone: Excellent. Provides targeted soothing for inflammatory breakouts without adding any grease or clogging pores.
• Combination: Very suitable. Perfect for targeting breakouts on the oily T-zone or hormonal spots on the chin and jawline without affecting drier areas.
• Sensitive: Good. The formula is designed to be gentle and calming. However, as with any new product, a patch test is always recommended.
• Dry: Suitable for spot-treating blemishes, but it does not provide heavy moisture for overall dryness. Should be followed with a nourishing moisturiser.

This product is specifically formulated to address the immediate symptoms of breakouts:

• Inflammatory Acne (Red, painful bumps without a whitehead)
• Skin Redness & Irritation
• Sensitivity and heat associated with blemishes

• Sodium Hyaluronate: A form of Hyaluronic Acid that draws moisture into the skin, providing lightweight hydration to prevent the spot from becoming dry and flaky while it heals.

Full INCI List:

Water, Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Sodium Chloride, Sodium Hyaluronate, Salix Alba (Willow) Bark Extract, Forsythia Suspensa Fruit Extract, Cryptomeria Japonica Leaf Extract, Nelumbo Nucifera Leaf Extract, PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, Pentylene Glycol, 1,2-Hexanediol, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Disodium EDTA.

• Fragrance Status: Fragrance-Free. The formula does not contain any added synthetic fragrances ('Parfum').
• Scent Profile: Any scent is minimal and derives naturally from the botanical extracts in the formula. Users generally report it as having no noticeable smell. (Scent Intensity: 0/5)
• EU Allergens: None of the 26 potential allergens defined by the EU are declared in the ingredient list.

This product is designed for sensitive, acne-prone skin, but it's always best to be cautious.

• Who should use it: Individuals looking for a gentle, targeted solution to calm red and inflamed blemishes.
• Who should be cautious: Anyone with known allergies to Willow Bark (aspirin) or any of the specific botanical extracts listed should avoid this product.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before using on a prominent facial blemish, test one of the pads on a small, discreet area, such as behind the ear or on the jawline. Leave for 10 minutes. Wait 24-48 hours to ensure no irritation or allergic reaction occurs.
• If Irritation Occurs: Discontinue use immediately. If irritation is severe or persists, consult a healthcare professional.
• Teens: This product is gentle enough for teenage skin struggling with inflammatory breakouts.

• Texture: The pads are thin, soft, and made of a fabric material. They are soaked in a watery, non-sticky essence.
• Finish: The essence absorbs quickly into the skin after the pads are removed, leaving a hydrated, natural finish with no residue or shine.
• pH: Not publicly disclosed by the brand, but the ACNE line is generally formulated to be low-pH to support a healthy skin barrier.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: The formula contains PEG-60 Hydrogenated Castor Oil, which can be a potential trigger for some individuals with fungal acne. Patch testing is advised.

• Issue: The pads don't stick well or keep falling off.
  • Solution: This mask is designed for a short, 5-10 minute treatment while relaxing. Apply the pads and then lie down to ensure they stay in place and make full contact with the skin. They are not designed for moving around like a hydrocolloid patch.
• Issue: The pads felt dry out of the packet.
  • Solution: The essence is concentrated and meant to be lightweight. Ensure you are using the product well before its expiration date. If the pads seem unusually dry, the packet seal may have been compromised.
• Issue: It didn't "suck out" my pimple.
  • Solution: This is a common misunderstanding. This is a soothing dressing mask, not a hydrocolloid patch. Its purpose is to reduce redness and inflammation, not to absorb pus. Use it on red, angry spots *before* they form a whitehead.

This product is an excellent choice for the hot and humid climate of Mauritius.

• Humid Summers: Breakouts can feel more inflamed and irritated due to heat and sweat. These cooling pads provide immediate relief without adding any heavy or greasy layers to the skin. They can help calm down heat-induced redness quickly.
• Drier Winters/AC Exposure: While our winters are mild, indoor air conditioning can still dehydrate the skin. This mask provides targeted hydration to a blemish, preventing it from becoming a dry, flaky patch that is difficult to conceal with makeup.
• Application Tip: On very hot days, store the pack in the fridge for 15-20 minutes before use for an enhanced cooling and de-puffing effect on angry spots.

• Adilsons' Sourcing Guarantee: We source all our products, including Pyunkang Yul, directly from the brand or their authorized distributors in South Korea. We guarantee 100% authenticity.

• Contents: Each single-use pack contains 4 individual dressing pads.
• Cost-per-Use: This is an affordable S.O.S. treatment. The cost per pack allows you to have targeted relief on hand for less than the price of a coffee.
• Reorder Cadence: This is not a daily-use item for most. We recommend keeping a few packs on hand for when breakouts occur. A box of 5 or 10 packs can last for several months, depending on the frequency of your inflammatory spots.

To best support skin during a breakout, pair this soothing mask with gentle, non-irritating essentials.

The "Calm & Protect" Routine

• Gentle Cleanser: COSRX LOW pH GOOD MORNING GEL CLEANSER 150ML — Why: Cleanses effectively without stripping the skin's barrier, which is crucial when dealing with inflammation.
• Soothing Treatment: Pyunkang Yul ACNE Dressing Mask Pack — Your targeted treatment to calm redness.
• Sunscreen for Protection: Beauty of Joseon RELIEF SUN : RICE + PROBIOTICS 50ML — Why: Protects the inflamed and healing spot from UV rays, which can worsen inflammation and lead to dark marks (PIH). This formula is lightweight and won't clog pores.

This dressing mask is an excellent choice if your primary goal is to calm redness and soothe inflammation on early-stage spots that are under the skin and have not yet formed a whitehead.

However, other products in our catalog might be a better fit depending on the type of blemish:

• For spots that have surfaced (whiteheads): Choose the COSRX ACNE PIMPLE MASTER PATCH (24EA).
  • Why: This is a hydrocolloid patch designed to absorb pus and fluid from a surfaced pimple. It creates a protected, moist environment to accelerate healing and prevent you from picking, which reduces the risk of scarring.
• For barely-there patches for daytime use: Choose the COSRX CLEAR FIT MASTER PATCH (18EA).
  • Why: These are ultra-thin hydrocolloid patches that are virtually invisible on the skin. They are perfect for wearing during the day, even under makeup, to protect and heal a small blemish without drawing attention to it.

Mindful Consumption Note: If you already have a soothing spot treatment or a calming serum that you enjoy, there’s no need to add another. Finish what you have first to assess its effectiveness and avoid waste.

• Format: A single-use foil packet containing 4 pre-soaked rectangular pads.
• Hygiene: The single-use format is highly hygienic, ensuring the essence and pads are sterile for each application on vulnerable, inflamed skin.
• Travel: The flat, lightweight packets are extremely travel-friendly. They are perfect for taking on trips to handle any unexpected breakouts.
• Recycling (Mauritius): The outer foil packet is typically not recyclable in local household collection. Please dispose of it in your general waste bin.

Note: These are aggregated sentiments from real users on platforms like YesStyle and do not constitute a clinical evaluation.

Users who love this mask pack praise it for its immediate soothing and redness-reducing effects. One review from July 2020 mentioned it "really helps with reducing and soothing the redness that occurs on my face," and that they use it before makeup to calm the skin. Another found it was "not bad at calming acne."

However, it's not a universal miracle worker. Some users have found the pads to be a bit dry for their liking or felt they didn't see a "drastic improvement" for their acne after one use, suggesting results can be subtle. The unique 4-piece format is also noted, with some finding it easy to apply to specific zones, while others found the pads didn't adhere well unless they were lying down.

Developed by the renowned Pyunkang Oriental Medicine Clinic in South Korea, Pyunkang Yul adheres to a philosophy of "less is more." The brand focuses on finding the optimal oil-moisture balance in the skin using minimal, yet potent, ingredients. By removing all unnecessary chemicals, fragrances, and dyes, their products are designed to be gentle and safe for all skin types, especially those that are sensitive, reactive, or acne-prone. Each product is built on a foundation of traditional Korean herbal knowledge, refined by decades of clinical experience.

At Adilsons, we are committed to providing you with only 100% authentic, high-quality K-beauty products. We believe in empowering you with truthful, evidence-based information to help you make mindful choices for your skin. Our curation is guided by principles of efficacy, safety, and ethical formulation.

1. Is this the same as a hydrocolloid pimple patch?

No. This is an essence-soaked fabric mask for soothing redness and inflammation. A hydrocolloid patch is a non-medicated sticker designed to absorb fluid (pus) from a surfaced whitehead.

2. Can I use it on a pimple I just popped?

It's best to avoid using it on open, broken skin. This mask is most effective on closed, red, and inflamed spots. For a popped pimple, it is safer to apply a hydrocolloid patch to protect the open wound.

3. Can I reuse the pads or the leftover essence?

No, this is a single-use product for hygiene reasons. Discard the pads after one use. You can pat the remaining essence from the packet onto your skin.

4. Does it contain any acids like AHA or BHA?

It contains Willow Bark Extract, which is a natural source of salicylates (related to BHA), but it functions primarily as an anti-inflammatory in this formula rather than as a strong exfoliant.

• Best For: Individuals with oily, combination, or acne-prone skin who need a quick, targeted S.O.S. treatment to calm down red, inflamed spots before they fully surface.
• Key Benefits: Effectively reduces redness and provides a cooling sensation, gentle and non-stripping, convenient for travel.
• Keep in Mind: This is not a hydrocolloid patch and will not absorb pus. The pads are designed for short-term use while stationary (e.g., lying down) as they may not adhere strongly during activity. Its effectiveness is for calming inflammation, not for preventing acne long-term on its own.
