Description
Experience multi-functional exfoliation and clarifying action. Kaolin clay deeply absorbs excess sebum and impurities to refine pores and reduce blackheads. Fruit peel extracts deliver natural alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs) to promote desquamation and stimulate collagen synthesis, improving fine lines and texture Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology. Glycerin and sodium lactate provide humectant hydration, protecting the skin barrier and preventing post-peel dryness International Journal of Cosmetic Science.
Key Ingredients
Kaolin Clay: A gentle mineral clay that draws out impurities and controls excess oil without disrupting the skin’s natural moisture balance Dermato-Endocrinology.
Lemon & Orange Peel Extracts: Rich in citric acid and brightening flavonoids, these extracts accelerate cell turnover and help fade dark spots and melasma Skin Pharmacology and Physiology.
Glycerin & Sodium Lactate: Potent humectants that attract and retain moisture, enhancing elasticity and comfort post-mask.
How It Works
Upon application, the fine clay matrix adheres to sebum and debris in the pores. As the mask dries over 20–30 minutes, the AHA content disrupts intercellular glue, loosening corneocytes for gentle exfoliation. Simultaneously, humectants draw moisture into the epidermis, preserving hydration. The result is clarified, smooth skin with renewed radiance after rinsing.
