Dealing with shine and redness in our warm climate can be a constant battle. This ultra-fine, translucent powder is your secret weapon. Formulated with VT's signature CICA ingredients, it instantly absorbs excess oil for a smooth, matte finish while simultaneously soothing irritated or blemish-prone skin. It’s more than a powder; it’s a calming final touch for your skin.

If your skin feels oily, shiny, or easily gets red and irritated throughout the day, this powder offers a dual-action solution.

• What it is: A loose finishing powder with soothing Centella Asiatica (CICA).
• Who it's for: Ideal for oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types. Also suitable for sensitive skin that needs shine control without irritation.
• What it does: Instantly mattifies the skin, blurs the appearance of pores, sets makeup, and helps calm redness and irritation.
• Finish: Translucent, soft-matte.

1. Skincare & Sunscreen: Complete your morning skincare routine, finishing with sunscreen.
2. Apply Powder: Using the included puff, pick up a small amount of the CICA powder. Gently tap off any excess.
3. Pat & Set: Lightly pat the powder onto your T-zone (forehead, nose, chin) and any other areas that get oily. This can be done over sunscreen or to set makeup.

Note: Already own a similar finishing powder? Finish that first to practice mindful consumption (substitute, don’t stack).

This powder is the final step in your routine to control shine and set your look for the day.

• Minimalist Routine (4-5 steps): 1) Cleanser → 2) Hydrating Toner/Serum (Optional) → 3) Moisturiser → 4) Sunscreen SPF 30+ → 5) [THIS PRODUCT]

Makeup Tips: After applying foundation or BB cream, use this powder to set everything in place. It helps makeup last longer in Mauritius's humidity and prevents it from creasing or sliding.

As a Finishing Powder (Daily Use - AM):

• Amount: A light dusting is all you need. Dip the puff into the powder, then gently tap the puff on the back of your hand to remove excess.
• Apply to: Oily areas like the T-zone, or all over the face to set makeup.
• Method: Use a gentle pressing or patting motion. Avoid rubbing or dragging the puff, as this can disturb your sunscreen or makeup underneath.

If-This / Then-That:

• If you have a very oily T-zone: Focus the application on your forehead, nose, and chin. You can reapply lightly throughout the day if needed.
• If you want to prime your eyelids: Pat a small amount onto your eyelids before applying eyeshadow to help control oil and make your eye makeup last longer.
• If your hair gets oily: In a pinch, you can dab a little powder onto your roots to absorb excess oil, like a dry shampoo.

Watchouts: Applying too much powder can result in a cakey or overly matte appearance. Start with a small amount and build up only if necessary.

Safety: Avoid inhaling the powder. For external use only. Keep away from broken or irritated skin. Teens can use this product, especially for managing oily skin.

• Immediate: Skin appears visibly matte, shine is reduced, and pores look blurred. Makeup feels set and secure.
• 2–4 Weeks: With daily use, you may notice that your skin feels calmer and less prone to midday redness, thanks to the soothing effects of the CICA ingredients.
• 4–8+ Weeks: The cumulative soothing and balancing effects can contribute to a healthier-looking complexion with less reactive oiliness.

• Why this, not heavy "baking" with thick powders? Heavy baking can dry out the skin and emphasize texture, especially in a humid climate where it can mix with sweat to look cakey. A light dusting of this ultra-fine CICA powder sets makeup and controls oil without the heavy, drying effect, all while soothing the skin.

• Works with: Any sunscreen, foundation, BB cream, or cushion. It layers perfectly as a final step to mattify and set.
• Use carefully with: Very dewy or "wet look" highlighters. Apply the powder first to surrounding areas, then apply the dewy product on top to maintain its glow. Applying this powder over a very wet base can cause patchiness.
• Avoid on: This is a finishing product for the face. Do not apply it before your liquid or cream skincare steps.

• Oily & Combination Skin: Excellent. This is its primary target, effectively absorbing sebum and preventing shine.
• Acne-Prone & Sensitive Skin: Highly suitable. The CICA complex helps to soothe inflammation and redness associated with breakouts, making it a safer choice than powders with potential irritants.
• Normal Skin: Good for setting makeup or for use on hot, humid days to prevent shine.
• Dry Skin: Can be used sparingly on the T-zone if shine is a concern, but may be too mattifying for all-over use. The soothing formula is a plus.

• Excess Sebum & Shine: Instantly absorbs oil for a fresh, matte finish.
• Visible Pores: The fine powder particles help to blur and minimize the appearance of pores.
• Redness & Irritation: CICA ingredients provide a calming effect, reducing visible redness.
• Makeup Longevity: Helps set makeup and prevents it from breaking down due to oil or sweat, a common issue in Mauritius's climate.

• CICALIAO™ & CICAHYALON™: VT's signature complexes.

Full INCI List:

Silica, Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate, Dimethicone/Vinyl Dimethicone Crosspolymer, Mica, Methicone, Silica Silylate, Centella Asiatica Extract, Asiaticoside, Asiatic Acid, Madecassic Acid, Madecassoside, Caprylyl Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin, Calamine, Ceramide NP, Panthenol, Water, Butylene Glycol, Calendula Officinalis Flower Extract, 1,2-Hexanediol, Tocopherol, Sodium Hyaluronate, Propolis Extract.

• Fragrance Status: This product does not contain added artificial fragrance ('Parfum'). However, some of the natural botanical extracts may impart a very subtle, clean, herbal scent characteristic of the CICA line.
• EU Allergens: None of the 26 declarable EU allergens are listed in the ingredients.
• Botanical Sensitivity: While formulated for sensitive skin, those with known allergies to Calendula or Propolis (bee products) should patch test before use.

• Who should use it: Anyone with oily, combination, or sensitive skin looking for shine control.
• Who should use with caution: Those with very dry skin may find it too mattifying for all-over use.
• Important: As with any loose powder, avoid direct inhalation. Apply in a well-ventilated area and press gently onto the skin rather than dusting it into the air.
• Patch Test Protocol: Before first use, apply a small amount of powder to a discreet area, such as behind the ear or on the jawline. Wait 24 hours to ensure no irritation occurs.
• If Irritation Occurs: Discontinue use immediately. If irritation persists, consult a trusted professional.

• Texture: Incredibly fine, silky, and lightweight loose powder.
• Finish: Creates a soft, velvety matte finish that feels smooth and non-drying on the skin.
• Scent: Very faint, almost undetectable clean and herbal scent from its natural ingredients.
• Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Compatibility: The formula appears to be free from common fungal acne triggers. However, individual responses can vary.

• Issue: Powder looks a bit cakey or heavy.
  • Fix: You're likely using too much product. Tap the puff on the back of your hand to remove excess powder before applying. Use a gentle pressing and rolling motion instead of wiping it across the skin.
• Issue: My skin still gets shiny after a few hours.
  • Fix: This is normal for very oily skin, especially in high humidity. The compact size makes it perfect for touch-ups. Use a blotting paper to gently lift away excess oil first, then re-apply a light layer of the powder.
• Issue: It looks a little ashy/white on my deep skin tone.
  • Fix: Use a large, fluffy powder brush instead of the puff for a more diffuse, sheer application. Pressing a very thin layer with the puff can also help it melt into the skin better than dusting it on.

• Humid Summer: An absolute essential. This powder will be your best friend for combating the intense shine and sweat that comes with our summer heat. It helps makeup stay put and keeps your skin feeling fresh and comfortable.
• Drier Winter: Still very useful, especially for those with oily or combination skin. You may find you only need to apply it to your T-zone during the cooler, drier months.
• Indoor/AC Environments: The CICA and hydrating ingredients prevent it from being overly drying, making it comfortable even if you spend time in air-conditioned spaces.

• Our Sourcing: At Adilsons, we source all our products directly from the brand or their authorized distributors in South Korea. We guarantee 100% authenticity.
• Packaging Cues: Look for the official VT Cosmetics branding, high-quality printing, and often a holographic seal of authenticity on the outer box.
• Verification: If you have any doubts, please contact us on WhatsApp at +230 5 778 2336 with photos of your product, and we will be happy to verify it for you.

The claims for this product are based on the established functions of its ingredients.

• Ingredient Rationale: The inclusion of Silica and Aluminum Starch Octenylsuccinate is based on their proven ability to absorb oil. The CICALIAO™ and CICAHYALON™ complexes are formulated with Centella Asiatica and its derivatives (Madecassoside, etc.), which have numerous studies supporting their anti-inflammatory, soothing, and barrier-strengthening properties.

Brand claim—no public dataset available for independent verification.

• Size: 5g
• Estimated Uses: With daily use on the T-zone, a 5g pot can last approximately 3-5 months, as very little product is needed per application. If used for all-over setting and touch-ups, expect to reorder every 2-3 months.
• Reorder Cue: When you start seeing the bottom of the pot through the sifter, it's a good time to reorder to ensure you don't run out.

This powder is an excellent choice if your primary concerns are controlling shine while also soothing sensitive or acne-prone skin. However, other options in our catalog might be a better fit if you have different needs:

• For Maximum, No-Frills Oil Control: INNISFREE NO SEBUM MINERAL POWDER 5G — Choose this if you have very oily skin and your single goal is powerful, long-lasting mattification. Why: It's a cult classic purely focused on sebum absorption.
• For On-the-Go Touch-ups: THE SAEM SAEMMUL PERFECT PORE PACT — Choose this if you prefer a pressed powder in a compact for easy, mess-free application throughout the day. Why: The pressed format is more travel-friendly than loose powder.
• To Set Makeup Without a Matte Finish: TIRTIR MASK FIT MAKE UP FIXER 80ML — Choose this if your goal is to lock in your makeup for longevity but you want to maintain a dewy or satin finish. Why: A setting spray sets makeup without adding any powder or changing the finish.

Mindful-use: If you already have a comparable product at home, finish it first to avoid waste and get a fair read on results.

• Format & Size: 5g of loose powder in a compact, durable plastic pot with a sifter to control product dispensing. It includes a soft powder puff for application.
• Travel: The small size is travel-friendly. Ensure the lid is screwed on tightly to prevent spills. You can place a cotton pad over the sifter before closing to minimize mess during transit.
• Sustainability & Recycling (Mauritius): The plastic pot (PP) can be recycled. Please rinse out any remaining product before placing it in your plastic recycling bin.

Aggregated Sentiment: Users with oily and combination skin praise this powder for its ability to control shine effectively in humid weather without feeling heavy or drying. The soothing CICA ingredient is frequently highlighted as a major benefit for acne-prone and sensitive skin.

• An iHerb customer review (Jan 2025) noted, "This powder is magic! I wear it as the last step in my skincare routine and it helps keep me mattified... I'm brown skinned and it blends in nicely."
• A SkinSort reviewer with oily skin (Mar 2024) who has dark skin mentioned, "It's a nice translucent setting powder (doesn't even show up on my dark skin), somehow cooling and hydrating at the same time, and it doesn't irritate my skin."
• Fair Caveat: One iHerb user with pale skin (May 2025) commented, "It does have a whitish sheen when first applied - I am pretty pale so the white absorbs quickly, but I'm not sure how... it absorbs on darker or tan skin." This suggests that while it is translucent, heavy application on deeper skin tones should be avoided to prevent a potential cast.

Will this powder leave a white cast on my dark skin?

The powder is translucent and designed to be invisible. For deeper skin tones, it generally blends without a trace. However, to be safe, avoid heavy application. Use a fluffy brush for a sheer finish or press a small amount in with the puff until it disappears.

Can I use this if I have dry skin?

Yes, but strategically. If you have dry skin but still get an oily T-zone in the heat, this powder is perfect for just those areas. Its CICA-infused formula is much gentler and less drying than many traditional sebum-control powders.

How is this different from the popular Innisfree No-Sebum Mineral Powder?

Both are excellent for oil control. The main difference is that the VT CICA Powder contains Centella Asiatica and other soothing ingredients, making it a better choice for skin that is both oily and sensitive or acne-prone. The Innisfree powder is more focused on pure, powerful mattification.

Can I use this powder without wearing any makeup?

Absolutely. It works beautifully over sunscreen to take down the shine and give your skin a smooth, natural-matte finish for a no-makeup look.

• Best For: Oily, combination, and acne-prone skin types, especially in humid climates like Mauritius.
• Key Benefits: Instantly absorbs shine, soothes redness and irritation with CICA, and blurs the appearance of pores for a soft-focus finish.
