What does this mask do?

It is a weekly reset rather than something you use daily. You spread a thin layer on dry skin, leave it about ten minutes while it cools and firms slightly, then rinse. Most people reach for it when the T-zone has gone shiny or the skin feels rough to the touch, and want one step that deals with both before the rest of the routine goes on.

How often should I use it?

Innisfree recommends using this mask once or twice a week. On weeks when only the nose, forehead, or chin looks extra shiny, you can keep the application focused there instead of covering your whole face. Leave it on for 10 minutes or until dry before rinsing.

After cleansing, spread a thin layer across dry skin and keep clear of the eye and lip area. Let it sit for 10 minutes or until dry, then add lukewarm water and massage in small circles as you rinse. You can apply it across the face or only to specific areas.

The Original formula is fragrance-free and described by Innisfree as creamy and non-drying. Follow the 10-minute, once- or twice-weekly directions, then continue with the rest of your routine. If you prefer a more focused ritual, apply a thin layer only where extra shine tends to show.

Can I use it only on my T-zone?

Yes, and plenty of people do. A full-face layer suits an all-over reset, but if only the nose, forehead or chin turns shiny there is no reason to cover skin that does not need it. Combination skin in particular tends to want the mask in one zone and nothing in the others. Either way, rinse after about ten minutes or once it has dried down.

Is it a good fit for combination or oily skin?

Yes. Innisfree positions this mask for combination and oily skin, with Volcanic Clusters that help absorb excess sebum and AHA for skin-smoothing exfoliation. If your skin has both oily and drier areas, the official directions allow you to keep the mask to the areas of pore concern.
