AXIS-Y MASK NOW GLOW LATER (30ML*2EA)

Values: 100% Genuine (Adilsons policy) · Halal-Friendly* (self-assessed) · Vegan-Friendly* (self-assessed) · Fragrance-Free: No — Essential Oils Only · FA-Safety: Conditional, not a flat pass.

*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 of either component. This is NOT a formal Halal certification. Muslims with stricter requirements should consult their own scholars.

If your pores look visibly congested after a humid day but your skin also feels tight within an hour of washing, that combination is confusing to treat with one product — this duo exists specifically to do the pulling-out step and the calming-down step separately, in the same session.

The oily-tight paradox: surface shine plus post-cleanse tightness usually means dehydrated-oily skin, not truly oily skin — the clay step should not be reached for daily, and the gel step's hydration matters as much as the pack's clarifying action.

Pros: genuine 2-formula system rather than a single mask split into two jars; travel-sized enough to trial both full-size AXIS-Y masks before committing; gel step is gentle enough for reactive-leaning skin. Caveats: both formulas carry natural essential oils, not a fragrance-free profile; 30ml of each is a trial quantity (roughly 10-15 full-face uses per component at typical thickness), not a long-term supply; the clay pack should not be used daily.

Classification: YELLOW (14+ with guidance). Neither component contains prescription-strength actives, but the pack combines physical exfoliation (adzuki bean powder) with mineral clay, and both formulas carry multiple essential oils — that combination is better suited to teenage skin with adult guidance than to a pre-teen's first mask.

For under-14s dealing with congestion, a plain Centella sheet mask (e.g. the Beauty of Joseon Centella Asiatica Calming Mask, verified in stock) is a gentler, fragrance-lighter starting point than a clay-plus-essential-oil duo.

Step 1 — When: PM, 2-3 evenings per week, as a standalone ritual rather than inside your daily routine. Step 2 — How much: a thin, even layer of the Mugwort Pack across the T-zone and any congested areas (avoid a thick cake-like layer). Step 3 — How: leave 10-15 minutes until it visibly begins to set at the edges, rinse with lukewarm water, then apply the Gel Mask in a thin layer for another 10-15 minutes and rinse again.

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 is not designed as a daily AM step. On mornings after a PM mask session, follow with your normal cleanser, a hydrating toner, a lightweight moisturizer, and — non-negotiably — SPF50+ PA++++, since freshly-exfoliated skin from the clay step is marginally more UV-reactive for the following 24 hours.

1) Cleanse. 2) Pat dry. 3) Apply the Mugwort Pore Clarifying Wash Off Pack in a thin layer, avoiding the eye area, 10-15 minutes. 4) Rinse with lukewarm water. 5) Apply the New Skin Resolution Gel Mask in a thin layer, 10-15 minutes. 6) Rinse again, then follow with a barrier-supportive moisturizer.

Because this is a twice-weekly ritual rather than a nightly active, it does not need to be scheduled inside a 4-night skin-cycling rotation — treat mask nights as separate from any AHA/BHA/retinoid nights you run elsewhere in your routine, not stacked on top of them.

Pat, don't rub: friction on a setting clay mask can crack and flake it prematurely, reducing even coverage. Required skin state: clean, dry or lightly damp skin for the clay step; damp skin (post-rinse) is fine for the gel step. Wait time: 10-15 minutes per step is what reviewers consistently report as the brand's intended window — going longer does not deepen the effect, it just risks over-drying the clay against skin.

Hands deliver 100% of product. Cotton pads absorb approximately 30-40%. Use clean fingertips for both steps.

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 going outdoors. Amount defaults: 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 face, +1 finger for neck. Hydrators sit best on slightly damp skin; retinoids on fully dry skin; exfoliating acids on dry or lightly damp skin, one lane only. Hard cap rule: if the routine pills, stings, or feels heavy, reduce layers, not increase.

AM Maximum Stack: 1. Rinse/Gentle Cleanse (optional). 2. pH-Prep Toner (optional). 3. Hydrating Toner Layers (1-3, optional). 4. Essence (optional). 5. Mist (optional). 6. Booster/Soothing Serum (optional). 7. Antioxidant Lane — choose ONE. 8. Pigment Support Lane — choose ONE. 9. Hydration Serum Lane. 10. Oil-Control/Sebum Lane — choose ONE. 11. Peptides/Repair Lane. 12. Eye Serum/Cream. 13. Moisturizer. 14. Optional Sealing Layer. 15. Sunscreen SPF50+ PA++++ (non-negotiable). 16. Lip SPF. In AM, prioritize comfort and SPF adherence over stacking — in high humidity, fewer layers often perform better.

PM Maximum Stack: 1. Micellar (optional pre-cleanse). 2. Oil Cleanser/Balm (if SPF/makeup). 3. Water Cleanser. 4. pH-Prep Toner. 5. Hydrating Toner Layers. 6. Essence. 7. Soothing/Barrier Serum. 8. [This duo occupies the mask/treatment slot, used 2-3x/week — Mugwort Pack then Gel Mask, both wash-off before moisturizer]. 9. Targeted Serum (only if not conflicting). 10. Moisturizer. 11. Sleeping Mask (on non-mask nights). 12. Occlusive Seal. 13. Spot Treatment/Patch (as needed). 14. Lip Sleeping Mask. Do not layer retinoids with AHA/BHA in the same night; keep "one lane" per night.

Lane strictness: 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.

Both formulas sit outside the normal AM/PM layering ladder because they are wash-off treatments, not leave-on layers — apply after cleansing, before any leave-on serum or moisturizer, and rinse fully before continuing. The Mugwort Pack is a thick, mineral-clay paste (occlusive on the skin surface while worn); the Gel Mask is a lighter, water-based gel that spreads thin despite looking substantial in the jar.

This product appears thick in the jar (Mugwort Pack especially) but spreads thin on skin. Do not judge the required amount by how it looks in the container — a little goes further than it appears.

Rest days: at least 2-3 days between mask sessions let the pore-clarifying clay's mild exfoliation and the essential oils in both steps settle without cumulative irritation. Overuse warning: using the clay step daily does NOT clear pores faster — it strips more sebum than the acid mantle can replace, producing the exact tightness-then-rebound-oiliness cycle this duo is meant to interrupt.

On Fitzpatrick IV-VI skin, over-scrubbing the clay step (rubbing rather than patting, or leaving it on beyond 15 minutes) raises post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation risk — gentle, timed application matters more on deeper skin tones, not less.

Congested/enlarged-looking pores: the clay step's kaolin and bentonite physically absorb surface sebum while the mugwort extract and adzuki bean powder provide a mild botanical-plus-physical exfoliating action. Post-mask redness/tightness: the gel step's Niacinamide (2%, brand-stated) and Centella Asiatica calm the skin the clay step can leave feeling stripped.

What this cannot do: it cannot physically shrink pore size (pores don't have muscles to contract) — it can only reduce the sebum/debris that makes them look larger; it cannot resolve active cystic acne, which needs a dermatologist, not a wash-off mask.

Pre-mask cleanser — primary: AXIS-Y Sunday Morning Refreshing Cleansing Foam (same-brand pH-balanced cleanse); alternatives: COSRX Low pH Good Morning Gel Cleanser, Beauty of Joseon Green Plum Refreshing Cleanser, Round Lab 1025 Dokdo Cleanser. All verified `status:active` with real stock at time of writing.

Post-mask serum — primary: AXIS-Y Calamine Pore Control Capsule Serum (continues the pore-focus overnight); alternatives: AXIS-Y Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum, SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Poremizing Fresh Ampoule, SKIN1004 Madagascar Centella Ampoule.

Follow-up moisturizer — primary: ORIEN Mugwort Zero Film Moisturizer (thematically matched, lightweight gel-cream); alternatives: Anua Azelaic Acid Cica Skin Soothing Moisturizer, Dr.Jart+ Ctrl+A Teatreatment Moisturizer. Pilling note: apply the follow-up moisturizer only after the gel mask has been fully rinsed and skin patted dry — layering a rich cream directly over residual gel-mask film can pill.

Chronic stress elevates cortisol, which increases sebum output and inflammatory reactivity — exactly the congestion-plus-sensitivity combination this duo is designed to address in one session. The gel step's Centella Asiatica has real, repeatedly-documented anti-inflammatory use in Korean formulations, making a stress-flare week a reasonable time to reach for this duo rather than a stronger exfoliating product.

The Gel Mask component carries Chamomile (Anthemis Nobilis) essential oil. Individuals with a known ragweed allergy can cross-react to chamomile-family botanicals — if you have a diagnosed ragweed allergy, patch test this product specifically before a full-face application, since the chamomile is in the gel step, not the clay step.

MYTH: "A clay mask should be left on until it's rock-hard and cracking for maximum effect." REALITY: once clay fully dries and cracks, it starts pulling moisture out of skin rather than sebum out of pores — rinse at the first sign of visible cracking, not after.

MYTH: "Using this every day will clear pores twice as fast." REALITY: daily clay use strips the acid mantle faster than it regenerates, triggering compensatory oil production — the exact congestion this product is meant to reduce.

Mauritius tap water hardness varies by region — hard water can leave a mineral (calcium-stearate) film after rinsing off a clay mask that reads as extra tightness. A pH-balancing toner immediately after rinsing helps counteract this residue, especially after the clay step.

*Evidence for mugwort's specific anti-inflammatory mechanism in finished cosmetic formulas is based on traditional use and emerging in-vitro research rather than large-scale human clinical trials on this exact product.

Mugwort Pore Clarifying Wash Off Pack — full INCI: Artemisia Princeps Extract, Kaolin, Dipropylene Glycol, Bentonite, Betaine, Phaseolus Angularis Seed Powder, Laminaria Japonica Extract, Eclipta Prostrata Leaf Extract, Avena Sativa (Oat) Kernel Extract, Pteris Multifida Extract, Cynara Scolymus (Artichoke) Leaf Extract, Glycyrrhiza Uralensis (Licorice) Root Extract, Vigna Radiata Seed Extract, Houttuynia Cordata Extract, Cryptomeria Japonica Leaf Extract, Nelumbo Nucifera Leaf Extract, Hydrogenated Lecithin, Sodium Hyaluronate, 1,2-Hexanediol, Methylpropanediol, Xanthan Gum, Glycerin, Chromium Oxide Greens, Charcoal Powder, Water, Beta-Glucan, Polyquaternium-51, Fructooligosaccharides, Allantoin, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid, Butylene Glycol, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Powder, Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate, Hydroxyacetophenone, Ethylhexylglycerin, [--- Estimated 1% Line ---] Rosmarinus Officinalis (Rosemary) Leaf Oil.

This ordering is reconstructed from a WebSearch synthesis of INCIDecoder/CosDNA listings rather than a direct brand fetch, and mineral clays/mugwort appear to be presented by marketing emphasis rather than strict descending concentration — treat the estimated 1% line placement as approximate.

New Skin Resolution Gel Mask — hero actives (full INCI recorded separately for the 100ml full-size product): 2% Niacinamide (brand-stated), Centella Asiatica Extract, Artemisia Princeps Extract as a supporting ingredient, with Lavender, Grapefruit Peel, Rosemary Leaf, Chamomile (Anthemis Nobilis) and Rosewood oils providing scent rather than a synthetic Fragrance/Parfum entry.

Preservative system: 1,2-Hexanediol, Ethylhexylglycerin and Hydroxyacetophenone appear in the Mugwort Pack's captured list — a common modern, paraben-free preservative combination.

Fragrance status: Essential Oils Only in both components — not a synthetic Parfum/Fragrance entry. Scent: herbal/mugwort in the pack; floral-herbal (lavender, grapefruit, chamomile) in the gel. Intensity: 2/5, dissipating within a few minutes of rinsing.

EU 26 allergen screen: Linalool and Limonene are plausible natural constituents of the Rosemary, Lavender, Grapefruit Peel and Rosewood oils present, though not separately itemized as isolated allergens in the captured INCI — a pattern typical of essential-oil-based (rather than synthetic-fragrance-based) formulas. Alcohol: Alcohol-free — no denatured or drying alcohol detected in either component's captured list.

Halal: No brand-wide Halal certification found for AXIS-Y.* Vegan: AXIS-Y holds Korean Vegan Association certification for a number of its SKUs, but Cruelty-Free Kitty's independent review notes this isn't automatically brand-wide — no animal-derived ingredient was found in either component's captured INCI for this duo specifically.* Cruelty-Free: AXIS-Y is listed on PETA's own public cruelty-free database (crueltyfree.peta.org), a real third-party listing verified via WebSearch corroboration, not just a brand claim.*

*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.

*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.

*AXIS-Y appears on PETA's public cruelty-free company database, which we verified via WebSearch corroboration of the certifier's own listing rather than a direct page fetch (blocked this run) — treat as medium-confidence pending a direct-fetch re-check. Research this run also found WebSearch-level indication that AXIS-Y does not sell through Mainland China physical retail specifically to avoid that market's pre-market animal-testing requirement; this is a search-synthesis finding, not a primary-source confirmation.

Microplastic-Free: Yes — Polyquaternium-51 (a conditioning polymer) is water-soluble and not classified as a microplastic under standard screening lists; no solid plastic microbeads were found in either component's captured INCI.

MFDS classification: General Cosmetic — no Functional Cosmetic registration was found for this duo during this research pass. Evidence confidence: Medium for the clay step's sebum-absorption mechanism (well-established clay chemistry); Medium for the gel step's Niacinamide/Centella calming claim (ingredient-level evidence is strong, but no finished-product clinical trial for this exact SKU was located).

*The "cools through the full wear time" and redness-reduction claims are drawn from brand/retailer copy plus independently found named-blog reviews rather than a published clinical trial on this specific product — treat as Marketing/Anecdotal-supported, not independently clinically verified.

Fungal Acne Safety: FA-Conditional for both components — the Mugwort Pack contains Hydrogenated Lecithin, and the Gel Mask contains both Hydrogenated Lecithin and Polyglyceryl-10 Laurate, emulsifiers that some Malassezia-feeding ingredient trackers flag as conditional depending on individual tolerance. Neither is a flat FA-safe pass.

Assessment: Low, since both steps are rinsed off before any leave-on product is applied. The only pilling risk is applying a heavy moisturizer or sunscreen immediately over damp, not-fully-dried skin right after rinsing — pat skin fully dry first.

Color baseline: the Mugwort Pack should read as a consistent deep olive-green (from Chromium Oxide Greens and Charcoal Powder); notable browning suggests oxidation. Storage: keep both jars out of direct bathroom humidity when not in use — Mauritius bathroom humidity can accelerate texture changes in clay formulas faster than in a bedroom drawer.

Spoilage signs: a sour or rancid smell replacing the herbal scent, visible mold at the jar rim, or a texture that separates and won't remix. When in doubt, discard.

Patch test: apply a small amount of each component to the inner forearm, wait 24 hours, then behind the ear for another 24 hours, before a first full-face session — this matters more than usual here given the essential-oil load in both formulas.

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

Emergency stop signals: hives, swelling, blistering, persistent burning, or breathing difficulty — seek emergency care immediately.

1) Using the clay step daily instead of 2-3x/week. 2) Letting the clay fully dry and crack before rinsing. 3) Skipping the gel step and treating the clay pack as a standalone product. 4) Applying either step to broken or actively irritated skin. 5) Not patch-testing despite the multi-essential-oil formula.

At a dime-size amount per session, 2-3x/week, the 30ml Mugwort Pack yields roughly 10-15 full-face applications; the 30ml Gel Mask, used more thinly, yields a similar or slightly higher count. At that pace, expect this duo to last approximately 4-6 weeks before both jars are depleted — reorder the full-size 100ml versions roughly 1-2 weeks before running out if you want to continue the ritual without a gap.

This duo works as the "reset night" component of a broader AXIS-Y pore-and-glow routine: cleanse, apply the Mugwort Pack (10-15 min), rinse, apply the Gel Mask (10-15 min), rinse, then a pore-focused serum, then moisturizer.

If you're in AC for most of the day, shorten the clay step and prioritize the gel step's hydration, since AC exposure already pulls moisture from skin. If you're mid-cycle (luteal phase) and breaking out more, this is a reasonable week to use the duo, since sebum production peaks pre-period.

Stock-true bundle: Mugwort Pack duo + AXIS-Y Calamine Pore Control Capsule Serum + ORIEN Mugwort Zero Film Moisturizer for a full pore-focused evening routine — all three independently verified in stock.

The recommendations above are based on formulation synergy with this duo, 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.

If you already know you prefer an all-gel, non-clay calming mask, AXIS-Y Heartleaf Skin Soothing Gel Mask (verified in stock) skips the clay step entirely and leans purely calming — a better fit if you don't have active pore congestion, a worse fit if pore-clearing is your actual goal.

Choose Mask Now Glow Later over Heartleaf Gel Mask alone if you need active pore-clearing, not just calming: the mugwort-and-clay step physically draws sebum the Heartleaf mask does not attempt to address.

If you match: active blackheads/congestion AND tolerate essential oils well → this duo is worth choosing. Don't upgrade if: your skin is currently reactive/barrier-compromised — start with Heartleaf alone until stable, then reintroduce the clay step.

This product's PRIMARY function is: weekly deep-pore-clearing plus calming. You do NOT need this if you already own an unfinished jar of the full-size Mugwort Pack AND the full-size New Skin Resolution Gel Mask — finish those first, since PAO on wash-off masks is typically 12 months and buying a duplicate while an open jar is still usable is waste.

Stacking assessment: Marginal Benefit if you already run a weekly clay mask from another brand (overlapping mechanism); Significant Benefit if you currently have no dedicated deep-pore step in your routine.

AXIS-Y runs its own official "HiddenTag" scratch-off authentication system on genuine packaging, entered into the brand's authentication app — check for this seal on your jars, and buy only through authorized channels since third-party resellers carry counterfeit/expired-stock risk per the brand's own published Counterfeit Product Policy.

Brand: AXIS-Y. Founded: 2019, South Korea. Parent Company: Asia Master Trade Co., Ltd (MBK Partners holds a reported 40% minority growth stake as of the 2025-2026 funding round; the founder retains 60% and management control).

AXIS-Y positions itself around "climate-inspired skincare" — formulating specifically for humidity, temperature swings and pollution stress on oily, acne-prone skin — alongside a community-first development model where customer feedback shapes reformulations. The brand reports 20M+ units sold of its hero Dark Spot Correcting Glow Serum and sells in roughly 100 countries, generating the large majority of its revenue outside Korea.

Real, named reviews for this exact duo were found on independent blogs (blog.beautybarn.in, christinahello.com, kaoriskincarejournal.wordpress.com), plus reviews of each individual component on dewildesalhab.com, kbeautyhobbit.com, princessperalta.com, and others. Common praise: the two-step "deep clean then cool/calm" sequence works well as a single weekly ritual, pores look visibly smaller and less congested after the clay step, and skin is left calm rather than tight or stripped after the gel step.

Common complaint: a minority of sensitive-skin reviewers flagged the gel mask's essential-oil blend as a mild tingling or itching trigger, and several reviewers frame the 30ml sizes as a trial introduction to the full-size products rather than a long-term replacement for them. No independently quotable Reddit or Amazon thread specific to this exact duo was located this run.

Can I use just the clay pack and skip the gel mask? Yes, but reviewers consistently report better comfort using both — the gel step calms the tightness the clay step leaves behind.

Is this the same formula split into two jars, or two different products? Two genuinely different formulas — a mineral clay pack and a separate niacinamide-centella gel mask, each a travel size of a full 100ml product also sold in this catalog.

Can I use this if I have fungal acne (Malassezia folliculitis)? Treat both components as conditional, not a flat pass — both contain Hydrogenated Lecithin, an emulsifier some FA-safety trackers flag depending on individual tolerance.

How often should I actually use this? 2-3x per week for the clay step; the gel step can be used slightly more often on its own if needed for calming.

Will this help with acne, not just congestion? It supports acne-adjacent congestion and post-acne calming, but it is not a medicated acne treatment — pair it with a dedicated active like the brand's own Calamine Pore Control Serum for that goal.

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

Best for: anyone with congestion-prone, oily-leaning skin in Mauritius' humidity who wants a genuine two-step ritual — clarify, then calm — rather than a single-jar mask, and who wants to trial both full-size AXIS-Y masks before committing.

Key benefits: a real 2-formula system (not a split single formula); the clay step's mugwort-and-mineral-clay combination has a consistent praise pattern for visible pore congestion; the gel step genuinely calms rather than just moisturizing over irritation.

Keep in mind: both formulas carry multiple essential oils, so this is not the pick for essential-oil-sensitive skin; 30ml of each is a trial quantity, not a long-term supply; the clay step must stay at 2-3x/week, not daily.

Assessment: Consult Oncologist. Both components carry multiple named essential oils (Rosemary in both; Lavender, Grapefruit Peel, Chamomile and Rosewood in the gel), and the pack includes physical exfoliation — both factors that many oncology skincare protocols flag as needing case-by-case clearance for skin undergoing active cancer treatment.

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

Hard water interaction: Mauritius tap water hardness varies by region, and rinsing off a mineral clay mask with hard water can leave a calcium-stearate film that reads as extra post-mask tightness — a pH-balancing toner immediately after rinsing helps counteract this.

Impact: Neutral to Supportive. The Mugwort Pack contains Saccharomyces Ferment Filtrate, a postbiotic — a beneficial metabolite from fermentation, not a live bacterial culture. You are not applying live yeast to your skin; any faint fermented note in the formula is a normal sign of a genuine ferment filtrate, not spoilage.
