Moisturizing
What does the product description say?
MOIST CLAY TEXTURE The moisturizing soft mud formulation helps to absorb sebum and remove wastes without dryness or tightness.
Source: N/A
This product can help improve hydration of the skin with the two types of ingredients.
The first type is called “humectants”:
these ingredients help attract water.
When humectants are on the surface of the skin, they “pull in” the moisture from the outside environment, or from
within deeper layers of the skin. The following ingredients in this product do the job:
glycerin, pyrus communis fruit extract.
This product also contains ingredients called “occlusives”. They help reduce the speed with which our skin loses moisture to the outside environment. These ingredients also help soften the upper layer of the skin, so it feels less tight and nicer to the touch. The following ingredients in this product do the job: caprylic/capric triglyceride, cetyl alcohol.
One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant
A good mix of fatty acids that forms a protective layer on the skin. Improves the shelf life of products. Derived from coconut and glycerin
Used to stabilize the product formulations and works as an emollient
A non-drying alcohol that works to soften the skin and stabilize product formulations helping oil and water mix together
Can have some moisturizing properties due to its sugar content
Anti-aging
What does the product description say?
Peptide complex It contains 3 types of peptides (SH-Oligopeptide-1 / SH-Oligopeptide-2 / SH-Polypeptide-1) to aid with skin health by helping to maintain the proper amount of growth factors, which naturally decrease due to aging.

Exfoliation
What does the product description say?
With key ingredients like kaolin clay and red bean extract, the wash-off mask gently removes dead skin cells and impurities in pores.
Source: Yesstyle
This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
