"EXCLUSIVE Blemish Clearing Bamboo Pore Refining Mask"

From product name

WIMJ summary

This product contains ingredients (gluconolactone, glycolic acid) that could help reduce blemishes and clogged pores in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
glycolic acid	MEDIUM
gluconolactone	MEDIUM
allantoin	LOW

WIMJ summary

This product can help reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles, improve skin elasticity and firmness because it contains gluconolactone, glycolic acid.

Keep in mind that it typically takes at least 6 weeks to notice any results because the changes that are needed to improve fine lines and elasticity happen in the deeper layers of the skin. No topical anti-aging product can “erase” wrinkles or fully reverse signs of aging.

glycolic acid	HIGH

What does the product description say?

"This mask combines the benefits of activated bamboo charcoal, bentonite and kaolin clay, aloe, aspen bark, and polyhydroxy and alpha hydroxy acids to help cleanse the skin and protect against daily pollutantsleaving a visibly softer, smoother, and more even-toned complexion."

Sephora CA

WIMJ summary

This product can help reduce hypepigmentation and even out the skin tone because it contains the following effective ingredients: gluconolactone, glycolic acid

Keep in mind that you would need to apply any topical skincare targetted at hypigmentation consistently for a couple of months to get a result. No topical skincare product can help get rid of hyperpigmentation (including post-acne marks and age spots) instantly.

WIMJ summary

This product can help exfoliate the skin. In other words, it helps break down the bonds between dead cells on the surface of the skin and speed up the skin turnover. Skin often appears softer and brighter after exfoliation, but overdoing it can result in disrupted skin barrier. The following ingredient is doing the exfoliating job in this product: gluconolactone, glycolic acid.

"Clears while hydrates."

Lookfantastic US

WIMJ summary

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: allantoin, glycerin.

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: butyrospermum parkii butter, helianthus annuus seed oil.

The following ingredients in this product are especially good for supporting the skin barrier and helping with the hydration level: panthenol

Ingredient	Effectiveness	Concentration	Irritancy
glycerin	HIGH
helianthus annuus seed oil	HIGH
panthenol	HIGH

WIMJ summary

This product contains antioxidants (gluconolactone, tartaric acid) that might be able to help neutralize free radicals in skin to lessen the damage it gets from the UV light (sun). There is not enough evidence to confirm their effectiveness in skin though.

Ingredients by volume

Ingredient	Estimated concentration
aloe barbadensis leaf juice Traditionally used to treat sunburns, dermatitis and inflammation, but evidence for its effectiveness is lacking. The extract can contain humectants that help attract water into the skin	23% - 35%
glycerin One of the best moisturizing ingredients. Naturally present in skin. It attracts water to the upper layer of the skin working as a humectant	4.7% - 7%
cetearyl alcohol A non-drying alcohol. Works as an emollient. Helps water and oil mix together and creates a nice product texture	3.8% - 5.7%
pyrus malus fruit	4% - 6%
unknown The ingredient is not recognized	TBC
helianthus annuus seed oil A great emollient due to its high linoleic acid content. One of the most effective plant oils in helping skin hydration and repairing skin barrier function	3.3% - 5%
charcoal powder Benefits for the skin are not clear	2.3% - 3.5%
kaolin A type of clay that consists mainly of aluminum silicate. Helps absorb oil and creates a thicker product consistency. Can be used to add a white color	1.9% - 2.9%
butyrospermum parkii butter A great moisturising ingredient that softens the skin and reduces water loss from its upper layer. It also can be helpful in protecting skin from free radicals	1.7% - 2.6%
sodium stearoyl lactylate Helps oil and water mix together	1.3% - 2%
phytic acid An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA), but is mostly used to stabilize product formulations in cosmetics	1.1% - 1.7%
bentonite Helps stabilize the product formulation	0.9% - 1.35%
tocopherol Pure form of vitamin E. Can help moisturise and protect the skin from free radicals. Often used to help stabilise other ingredients or the formula itself	0.55% - 1.25%
panthenol Helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can help improve skin barrier function	0.45% - 1%
copernicia cerifera cera Brazilian palm wax. Helps soften the upper layer of the skin	0.55% - 1.25%
sorbitan stearate Helps water and oil mix together	0.4% - 0.9%
lactic acid An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiom)	0.35% - 0.85%
caprylhydroxamic acid A preservative	0.35% - 0.85%
populus tremuloides bark extract	0.35% - 0.85%
salix alba bark extract A plant extract that can help neutralize free radicals in skin. It contains a compound salicin that can theoretically be converted into salicylic acid that, in turn, helps reduce inflammation in skin, but the evidence of effectiveness in skin is lacking and the extract is usually not used in a concentration that would enable an exfoliating effect	0.35% - 0.8%
allantoin Helps calm down inflammation in skin and can help reduce itching. Helps to repair the skin barrier and keep skin hydrated	0.3% - 0.7%
zinc gluconate Typically used to stabilize the product formulations. It is a salt of a polyhydroxy acid (PHA) and in larger concentrations, can help shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. It can help attract water to the upper layer of the skin. Might to be helpful against acne and clogged pores. Could be helpful in neutralizing free radicals, but solid research is missing. Due to the zinc content, might help calm down inflammation in skin	0.3% - 0.7%
lactic acid An exfoliating and moisturizing alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA). Typically causes less irritation than other AHAs, for example, glycolic acid. At high concentrations (about 15%), lactic acid can help reduce lines and wrinkles. Recent studies show that lactic acid can support the "good" bacteria living on skin's surface (healthy skin microbiom)	0.2% - 0.8%
glycolic acid An alpha-hydroxy acid (AHA) that helps to remove the dead skin cells on the surface of the skin reveling a more even, smoother complexation. It is also able to stimulate collagen production with long-term use. Could help to reduce pore congestion. It can be irritating to the skin. Apply sunscreen daily if using products with glycolic acid	0.2% - 0.8%
vaccinium myrtillus fruit extract A plant extract that might help neutralize free radicals in skin, but research on its efficacy in skin is lacking	0.2% - 0.75%
saccharum officinarum extract Sugar extract that helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin	0.2% - 0.75%
citric acid Can work as an exfoliant but is typically used to adjust the product pH	0.2% - 0.75%
citrus aurantium dulcis fruit extract A plant extract that is used as a fragrance. Can be irritating and lead to photosensitivity	0.2% - 0.75%
citrus limon fruit water	0.3% - 0.7%
acer saccharum extract A plant extract that contains small percentage of AHAs. Is unlikely to have any skin benefit due the small concentration of the active compounds	0.2% - 0.75%
tartaric acid An AHA (alpha-hydroxy acid). It oxidizes quickly which makes it less effective in skincare formulations. It can support skin's barrier and moisture levels	0.2% - 0.75%
malic acid Helps adjust the product pH	0.3% - 0.7%
salicylic acid Used for skin exfoliation. It has an anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial effect, helps to unclog pores, prevent blemishes and speed up healing of the existing ones. Sometimes referred to as a BHA (beta-hydroxy acid)	0.3% - 0.75%
phenethyl alcohol A fragrance. Can be irritating	0.3% - 0.7%
melaleuca alternifolia leaf oil An essential oil that can be irritating. Has some anti-bacterial properties	0.2% - 0.75%
commiphora myrrha oil Used as a fragrance	0.2% - 0.8%
gluconolactone A polyhydroxy acid (PHA) that helps shed the dead cells from the skin surface revealing smoother skin. Is believed to be genter than AHAs. It helps attract water to the upper layer of the skin and can stimulate production of skin's own hyaluronic acid resulting in improved hydration levels. It has been shown to be helpful against acne and clogged pores if used consistently (e.g over a period of 12 weeks) in high enough concentration. It can help reduce fine lines and wrinkles and improve skin tone with long-term application. Can help neutralize free radicals	0.2% - 0.75%
pelargonium graveolens flower oil An essential oil. Can be irritating. Can become an allergen with oxidation	0.15% - 0.65%
mentha piperita oil Used as a fragrance and can be irritating	0.15% - 0.65%
sodium hydroxide Used to adjust the product's pH	0.15% - 0.6%
