VT COSMETICS CICA Mask Cleanser 4.05 fl oz — 2‑in‑1 Gentle Foaming Cleanser & Non‑Drying Clay Mask with Centella for Sensitive, Ac

VT COSMETICS CICA Mask Cleanser is a 2-in-1 creamy clay formula that works as a gentle daily foaming cleanser and a non-drying clay mask to cleanse, exfoliate, and soothe sensitive or acne-prone skin.

This multi-tasking Korean skincare product blends green clay, Centella Asiatica, a calming green herb complex, and a micro-dose of retinol into a soft mochi-like texture that removes impurities without stripping moisture. Use it as an everyday wash to lift oil and light debris or as an every-few-days clay mask to deep-clean pores and refine skin texture. The formulation aims to balance oil, soothe visible redness, and support the skin barrier, making it suitable for those looking for combined pore care and gentle hydration.

How does the CICA Mask Cleanser remove impurities without drying my skin?

The product uses green clay to absorb excess sebum and draw out pore-clogging debris while a non-drying base preserves hydration. It foams mildly when mixed with water so cleansing feels thorough yet soft on sensitive skin.

• Green clay targets oil and impurities inside pores.
• Creamy, non-stripping texture prevents tightness after rinsing.
• Gentle foaming action helps lift dirt without harsh surfactants.

When and how should I use it as a clay mask versus a cleanser?

As a daily routine step, lather a small amount with water and massage onto the skin, then rinse for a gentle cleanse. For deeper pore care, apply as a mask every three days, allow it to set, then rinse thoroughly to remove trapped impurities and smooth texture.

• Daily cleansing: wet face, lather, massage 30–60 seconds, rinse.
• Mask use: apply thicker layer, let dry per instructions, rinse completely.
• Use silicone brush for even mask application and easier removal.

What soothing and active ingredients help with sensitivity and breakout-prone skin?

Centella Asiatica and a green herb complex are included to calm redness and reinforce the skin barrier, while a controlled amount of retinol refines texture and targets enlarged pores. The result is a formulation designed to be effective without overstimulating sensitive skin.

• Centella Asiatica for calming and support of the barrier.
• Green herb complex to reduce visible irritation and balance skin tone.
• Retinol to help improve skin texture and pore appearance in small doses.

How will this product fit into my existing skincare routine?

Use the CICA Mask Cleanser in place of your regular cleanser or as an additional clarifying mask step a few times weekly. Follow with toner, hydration, and targeted treatments; if you use other retinoids, monitor sensitivity and space applications to avoid over-exfoliation.

• Replace your morning or evening cleanser for gentle daily use.
• Use mask variation 1–3 times weekly depending on oiliness and tolerance.
• Pair with hydrating serums and sunscreens; adjust retinoid frequency as needed.

Who is this for: The VT COSMETICS CICA Mask Cleanser is aimed at people with sensitive, acne-prone, or combination skin who want a single product that both cleans and deeply clarifies pores without harsh drying. It’s well-suited for users seeking a calming, multi-function step in a Korean skincare routine—those who want to manage oiliness, reduce visible redness, and refine texture while maintaining hydration. Not recommended for anyone with known sensitivity to retinol without patch testing first.
