This 150ml mask combines cleansing agents with protective ingredients to target impurities, excess oil, and environmental pollutants, promoting clear, healthy skin.

Key Ingredients and Their Functions:

• Salicylic Acid: A beta hydroxy acid (BHA) that penetrates deep into pores, helping to dissolve excess oil, dirt, and dead skin cells, reducing the occurrence of acne and blackheads.
• Antioxidants (e.g., Vitamin E, Green Tea Extract): Protect skin from environmental stressors, neutralizing free radicals that can cause skin damage.
• Moisturizing Agents (e.g., Glycerin): Maintain hydration levels, preventing over-drying during cleansing.
• Protective Agents (e.g., Zinc): Help reduce inflammation and control oil production.

Uses:

• Deep Cleansing: Removes dirt, oil, and impurities from the skin surface and pores.
• Acne Prevention: Targets and reduces breakouts by unclogging pores and controlling excess oil.
• Skin Barrier Protection: Contains ingredients that defend the skin against environmental pollutants and irritants.
