Ingredients Explained

These ingredients are found in both products.

1
What it does: Skin Conditioning, Solvent
Community Rating: Loved

Water. It's the most common cosmetic ingredient of all. You'll usually see it at the top of ingredient lists, meaning that it makes up the largest part of the product.

So why is it so popular? Water most often acts as a solvent - this means that it helps dissolve other ingredients into the formulation.

You'll also recognize water as that liquid we all need to stay alive. Talk about multi-purpose! If you see this, drink a glass of water. Stay hydrated!

2
What it does: Humectant, Skin Conditioning, Skin Protecting, Solvent
Community Rating: Loved

Glycerin is already naturally found in your skin. It helps moisturize and protect your skin.

A study from 2016 found glycerin to be more effective as a humectant than AHAs and hyaluronic acid.

As a humectant, it helps the skin stay hydrated by pulling moisture to your skin. The low molecular weight of glycerin allows it to pull moisture into the deeper layers of your skin.

Hydrated skin improves your skin barrier; Your skin barrier helps protect against irritants and bacteria.

Glycerin has also been found to have antimicrobial and antiviral properties. Due to these properties, glycerin is often used in wound and burn treatments.

In cosmetics, glycerin is usually derived from plants such as soybean or palm. However, it can also be sourced from animals, such as tallow or animal fat.

This ingredient is organic, colorless, odorless, and non-toxic.

Glycerin is the name for this ingredient in American English. British English uses Glycerol/Glycerine.

What it does: Antioxidant, Masking, Skin Conditioning
Community Rating: Liked

Tocopherol (also known as Vitamin E) is a common antioxidant used to help protect the skin from free-radicals and strengthen the skin barrier. It's also fat soluble - this means our skin is great at absorbing it.

Vitamin E also helps keep your natural skin lipids healthy. Your lipid skin barrier naturally consists of lipids, ceramides, and fatty acids. Vitamin E offers extra protection for your skin’s lipid barrier, keeping your skin healthy and nourished.

Another benefit is a bit of UV protection. Vitamin E helps reduce the damage caused by UVB rays. (It should not replace your sunscreen). Combining it with Vitamin C can decrease sunburned cells and hyperpigmentation after UV exposure.

You might have noticed Vitamin E + C often paired together. This is because it is great at stabilizing Vitamin C. Using the two together helps increase the effectiveness of both ingredients.

There are often claims that Vitamin E can reduce/prevent scarring, but these claims haven't been confirmed by scientific research.

Love the mask, hate the price
This clay mask/PHA exfoliating mask always leaves my pores appearing smaller and my skin soft and never dry. It’s a little different when compared to other clay masks I’ve tried. You only need one pump to cover your entire face (I used like 3 the first time I tried this. trust me, you don’t need that much). It goes on a pinkish color, but you are supposed to massage it in until the product turns white. This mask feels kinda sticky and it doesn’t dry down in the same way other clay masks do, but I actually prefer this. The clay and birch sap in here will still remove excess oil, but the high glycerin content makes it so your skin isn’t left feeling tight and dry. The PHA gently exfoliates and always leaves my skin feeling so smooth and soft. The price is something that does bother me, but I won’t doc a star here because I’m reviewing how the product itself works. This mask does go on sale sometimes at sephora so I recommend keeping an eye out and picking it up then. I recommend this for acne prone skin or textured skin of any type (oily, normal, dry), but if you are sensitive be careful. This is a wash off product so some sensitive skin folks may be fine, but for others I can imagine the birch sap, PHA, and/or the fragrance in this to be an issue.

Every time I use this mask it is as if my skin is reset & flawless again. Never dried my skin and made me feel lifted!
