So, another Mizon product goodness I am about to share with you. Mind you, there’s more to come, all I need is time and more dreamla-land for my little one.
MIZON PORE CLEARING VOLCANIC MASK
Name says it all. Behold, the goodness of volcanic ash extract. And no, this isn’t just any volcanic ash that you know, it’s the one from Jeju Island. Sounds familiar? Here’s what’s written on the tube. This was part of all the freebies from my haul last time from Mizon. I know right? A 50ml tube freebie, plus there were more! I don’t think this came in a box as I only got it like this, unless they just took the box off and sent this over.
It says… 4,000mg of volcanic ash extract from Jeju Island contained.
Volcanic ash extract from Jeju Island absorbs excessive sebum and skin wastes to tighten pores. Mild plant extracts add a synergy effect on caring pores.
Directions: Apply an approriate amount onto dry face after cleansing avoiding eyes and lips area. Rinse it off with lukewarm water after 10 minutes.Apply more to large pores for an intensive care.

You know, I’ve always wanted to try a wash-off mask with volcanic properties, since I’ve read some good reviews about them. So you can understand my surprise and excitement, when I received this little gift from Mizon. As always,with most of the Mizon products I’ve tried, this one has a lovely scent (I firmly believe it’s that papaya extract that I could smell) and gives you that cooling sensation once applied on your skin. The mask reminds me of that soft chocolate yogurt ice cream we get from that yogurt place in Fort Lee NJ :-). Especially the color and the softness.
I have a very, very sensitive skin and large pores, to say the least. So I know, that any help I could get to reduce these pores and redness, would be much appreciated. And this clearing mask does just that.
Final result…
I didn’t go all out with the application on my face. I know that it says that you should apply more to larger pores, but I just applied it sparingly just to see how the outcome would be.
How often would you use this mask in a week? I am thinking twice should be enough for me. One thing I really like about this is the smell. It doesn’t suffocate you. Instead, it’s soothing. And the mask doesn’t go all crackly when you talk or do any face movements while having it on.
After rinsing with lukewarm water, I definitely noticed my skin to be a lot brighter and the redness had slightly calmed down. And voila(!), the visible large pores are not so visible anymore. Skin felt much cleaner.
I do need to moisturize my skin right after though, because you do feel the dryness almost right away and for me, if I let my skin be dry even just for few minutes, I start to feel irritation and all I want to do is scratch my face! So I would moisturize with my Snail All in One Cream!
Price wise, (this was free!! so a very happy me!) well, I’ve just checked online and I am surprised that mizoncorp on Ebay doesn’t have this on their list yet and the only Gmarket link I could find is Gmarket Singapore.
