Salicylic Acid (BHA) — penetrates pores to help loosen sebum-blockages and blackheads.

Pregnancy and Nursing Safe
Likely Safe
This product includes strong exfoliating acids (glycolic acid, salicylic acid) and BHA which have limited data for high-intensity use during pregnancy/breastfeeding..
How to use
After cleansing, ensure your skin is dry (not damp).
Apply an appropriate amount of the mask (avoid the eye area and lips). Focus on areas prone to blackheads/sebum (T-zone, nose, chin).
Leave on for 3-5 minutes or until the mask fully dries and begins to set.
Gently rinse off with lukewarm water, then pat skin dry.
Follow with your serum/essence → barrier repair cream to help replenish hydration and support your compromised barrier.
Use frequency: Start with once every 1–2 weeks given your barrier status; increase if tolerated without issues.
Tip for your skin condition: Since you have flaky dry patches + occasional cystic acne:
On nights when your skin is stressed or barrier is weak, skip this mask and use calming/hydrating steps instead.
On nights when your skin is more stable and you want intensive pore-care, use this mask then apply a rich repair cream overnight.
Always apply sunscreen during the day following the mask.
