How does this mask reduce the look of pores and blackheads?

Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin and leave the mask on for 10–15 minutes before rinsing thoroughly. Use the treatment once or twice a week as a targeted reset; overuse can lead to dryness or sensitivity, so pair it with gentle daily care.

• Frequency: 1–2 times per week for most skin types
