“Utilising Kaolin, the face mask effortlessly smoothes onto the visage and seeks to absorb impurities from skin, without stripping it of essential moisture.”
This product contains good ingredients to attract water to the upper layer of the skin. These ingredients are called "humectants": glycerin, zinc pca.
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. If the air is dry, humectants can speed up the moisture loss from the skin. This is why it is a good idea to use another product on top of this one to help "seal in" the moisture (look for ingredients like dimethicone, squalane, oils and butters).
Anti-blemishZinc pca, KaolinNot delivered
“The versatile mask can also be used as a potent spot treatment, simply target the affected area overnight and let the mask benefit skin whilst most receptive to repair.”
This product contains ingredients (zinc pca) that could help reduce blemishes and clogged pores in theory, but there is not enough evidence that they actually work.
