What it is

How to use

• Frequency: Use once a week unless otherwise advised by a skincare professional.
• PM routine (recommended): Cleanse, apply a thin, even layer to dry skin avoiding eyes and lips, leave for 5–10 minutes until dry, then rinse with lukewarm water and pat skin dry. Follow with a hydrating, oil‑free moisturiser.
• AM option: If you use the mask in the morning, rinse thoroughly and apply a moisturiser followed by a broad‑spectrum SPF before sun exposure.
• Patch test: Test behind the ear or on the inner forearm 24 hours before first use if you have sensitive or reactive skin.

Why it works

• Kaolin & bentonite clays: Absorb surface oil and help loosen debris in blocked pores to improve skin texture.
• Hydroxy acids (malic, lactic, tartaric, citric, glycolic): Provide gentle exfoliation to brighten and smooth the skin’s surface.
• Aloe vera & chamomile extract: Help to soothe and comfort skin during and after treatment.

What to expect

• Immediate: a mattified appearance and smoother feel after rinsing.
• Short term (2–4 weeks): reduced visual congestion of pores and less surface shine with regular weekly use.
• Ongoing: continued weekly use supports clearer‑looking skin and improved texture; individual results vary.

Good to know

• Stop use and consult a healthcare professional if irritation, burning or prolonged redness occurs.
• Avoid if you have a known sensitivity to hydroxy acids or any listed botanical extracts; consult a clinician if you are using prescription topical treatments (for example, retinoids or other acne medications).
• Do not use more frequently than recommended to reduce the risk of dryness or irritation.
