Take the skin test and I'll show you how suitable this product is for you.
Take the skin testA wash-off mask that helps to clear pores, soothe irritated skin, and gently exfoliate in the process. Formulated to also fight maskne. This wash-off pack is enriched with 61% Mugwort Extract and adzuki bean granules to soothe irritations and cleanse skin.
Mugwort Pore Clarifying Wash Off Pack is a lightweight wash-off mask from Axis-Y, a brand based in Korea. The formula is built mainly around hydration. The ingredient list runs to 36 ingredients, each broken down in full below.
By its ingredient list the formula reads as light: water and humectants lead, with emollients kept lower in the order. Hydration is handled by Betaine, Sodium Hyaluronate and Methylpropanediol, humectants that pull water into the upper layers of skin rather than sealing it there.
Hydration: High. Ingredients that pull and hold water in the upper layers of skin, and here that comes from Betaine, Sodium Hyaluronate, Methylpropanediol and Glycerin.
Oil control: Moderate. Ingredients that moderate sebum or absorb shine, and here that comes from Kaolin, Bentonite and Charcoal Powder.
Soothing: Moderate. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Avena Sativa Kernel Extract, Beta-glucan, Allantoin and Glycyrrhiza Uralensis Root Extract.
On richness alone it suits Balanced skin best, and is the least natural fit for Dry and Combination (dry) skin. Nothing in the list is flagged as a common irritant, which is a reasonable starting point for reactive skin — though a patch test is still the only way to know.
The formula contributes little or nothing on barrier support, antioxidant protection, brightening and tone and cell renewal. That is not a fault — most products are not meant to do everything — but if one of those is your priority, this is not the product that will address it.
Reading the full list, the formula is fragrance-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free, microplastic-free and sulfate-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging. It does contain essential oils, worth knowing if your skin reacts to any of them.
It can be used morning and evening. In a routine it goes after serums. Seal in your serums with it; in the morning, sunscreen still goes on top.
This summary is generated from the product's ingredient list. It is not a review, it is not the brand's own marketing claims, and it does not replace advice from a dermatologist.
