Medicube Zero Pore Purifying Clay Face Mask 100g
The Purifying Clay Mask with AHA • BHA • PHA is a thick, easily si mud mask designed for oily and problem skin that needs a quick pore reset without feeling tight. The combination of clay (kaolin, bentonite, montmorillonite, illite, Canadian colloidal clay ) with a trio of AHA (glycolic acid), BHA (salicylic acid), and PHA (gluconolactone) works on multiple levels: it absorbs sebum, helps unclog clogged follicles, smooths unevenness, and supports the reduction of imperfections. Allantoin and green tea extract soothe and provide antioxidants, while sodium hyaluronate ensures comfort after rinsing. The mask has a unique blue color, a subtle citrus scent, and is slightly slippery when removed—that's why the manufacturer recommends applying a thin layer for easy rinsing. After 5 minutes, the skin is cleansed, matte and visibly smoother.

FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
✔ How often can I use the mask?
2–3 times a week; for sensitive skin, start with 1× and reduce the time to 3 minutes.
✔ Does the mask dry out the skin?
No – the formula contains sodium hyaluronate and allantoin, which reduce the feeling of tightness after washing off.
✔ Can I combine with retinoids/acids?
Use alternately (not in one routine); SPF is a must during the day.
✔ Why is the mask blue and "slippery" when rinsed off?
The color comes from the pigment (CI 77510), and the slippery texture is a feature of the clay-gel base – apply a thin layer, it will be easier to rinse off.
✔ Is it suitable for blackheads and enlarged pores?
Yes – BHA + clays support cleansing and visually reduce the visibility of pores.
