Skintific Mugwort Anti Pores & Acne Clay Mask

Skintific Mugwort Anti Pores & Acne Clay Mask is a wash-off clay mask from Skintific that combines clay with mugwort extract. It is designed for oily, congested and blemish-prone skin, helping to absorb excess oil and leave the skin feeling clean and refreshed. The mask is intended as a weekly treat that complements, rather than replaces, your daily cleanser and moisturiser. Its focus is on the look of visible pores and a clearer-feeling complexion.

Clay masks work by drawing excess sebum and surface impurities from the skin as they dry, which is why they are popular with people whose skin gets shiny during the day. Mugwort is a botanical commonly used in Korean-inspired skincare for its soothing, comforting feel on the skin. Together, they aim to deep-cleanse without leaving the skin feeling stripped when used as directed. This is a cosmetic mask and is not intended to treat acne or any skin condition.

Malaysia’s humid climate can leave the skin feeling oily and pores looking more noticeable, especially on the T-zone. Using Skintific Mugwort Anti Pores & Acne Clay Mask once or twice a week may help the skin feel fresher and less greasy. Always follow with a hydrating toner and moisturiser, as clay can leave the skin feeling slightly tight. If you have persistent or painful breakouts, consult a doctor or pharmacist for proper advice.
