Take the skin testImmerse your skin in serenity with Hyeja's Vegan Matcha Gentle Mud Cream Mask (10ml), a clay-based treatment that purifies and soothes in one effortless step. Inspired by the tranquil Wabi-Sabi philosophy, this mask embraces blemishes and promotes serenity, offering a mindful moment of skincare calm. Infused with 52.3% matcha green tea water, it delivers powerful antioxidants while soothing and detoxifying the skin. Kaolin and bentonite clays draw out impurities without stripping moisture, leaving skin soft, refreshed and balanced. Enriched with niacinamide, lotus extract and rice extract, it minimises irritation and supports a healthy, resilient barrier.
Hyeja Vegan Matcha Gentle Mud Cream Mask is a lightweight wash-off mask from Hyeja Skincare. The formula is built mainly around hydration, soothing and oil control. The ingredient list runs to 37 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 Glycerin, Butylene Glycol and Ethylhexylglycerin, 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 Glycerin, Butylene Glycol, Ethylhexylglycerin and Beta-glucan.
Soothing: High. Ingredients aimed at visible redness and reactivity, and here that comes from Isononyl Isononanoate, Madecassoside, Centella Asiatica Leaf Extract and Beta-glucan.
Oil control: High. Ingredients that moderate sebum or absorb shine, and here that comes from Kaolin, Bentonite and Niacinamide.
Antioxidant support: Moderate. Ingredients that mop up free radicals from UV and pollution, and here that comes from Camellia Sinensis Leaf Water, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Powder and Tocopherol.
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 cell renewal and firmness signalling. 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, essential-oil-free, no drying alcohol, paraben-free, silicone-free and microplastic-free. Those claims come from the ingredient list itself, not from the packaging.
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.
