VT COSMETICS CICA Mask Cleanser — 2‑in‑1 Clay Cleanser & Mask, 4.05 fl oz, Soothing Centella for Sensitive/Acne‑Prone Skin

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 purify pores while soothing sensitive skin.

This hybrid Korean skincare product combines green clay, Centella Asiatica, and a calming herb complex into a soft, mochi-like texture that rinses clean without leaving skin feeling tight. Designed for acne-prone and sensitive skin types, it aims to remove excess oil, exfoliate mildly, and support the skin barrier in one easy step. The compact 4.05 fl. oz size is travel-friendly yet concentrated enough for regular use as either a daily lathering wash or a weekly clay mask.

How does it act as both a cleanser and a clay mask?

The formula is crafted to foam gently when mixed with water for everyday cleansing and to sit and set when left on dry skin for targeted pore care. As a cleanser it removes surface oils and light impurities; as a mask it draws out deeper debris while remaining non-drying thanks to hydrating ingredients.

• Use wet for a soft foam that cleanses without stripping.
• Apply on dry skin and leave to set as a clay mask every few days.
• Clear rinse-off texture avoids flaky residue or tightness.

Will it help calm redness and sensitivity?

The product includes Centella Asiatica and a green herb complex known for soothing properties; these ingredients are selected to reduce visible redness and support the skin’s moisture barrier. The overall formulation prioritizes gentle actives and non-irritating surfactants to suit reactive skin.

• Centella Asiatica soothes and supports barrier recovery.
• Green herb complex helps reduce visible irritation.
• Non-drying base preserves hydration and comfort.

How does it address pores, oiliness, and texture?

Green clay absorbs excess sebum and traps impurities, while mineral clays gently exfoliate to refine texture and improve the look of enlarged pores. The addition of retinol in a low-concentration, skin-friendly context helps promote smoother skin surface and assists pore refinement over time when used as directed.

• Green clay draws out trapped oil and surface debris.
• Gentle exfoliation smooths rough texture without abrasion.
• Retinol supports longer-term pore and texture improvement when tolerated.

How should I use this product safely and effectively?

Choose the mode that fits your routine: daily cleanser for regular use, or a mask treatment every 2–4 days for deeper pore care. Patch-test once before introducing retinol-containing products into a regimen, and follow with sunscreen during the day since retinol can increase sun sensitivity.

• Daily: moisten face, work into a light foam, massage, then rinse.
• Mask: apply to dry face with a brush, allow to set, then rinse thoroughly.
• Patch-test retinol sensitivity; use sunscreen after morning exposure.

Who is this for? VT COSMETICS CICA Mask Cleanser suits people with acne-prone, oily, or sensitive skin who want a single product for both daily cleansing and intermittent clay treatments. It’s a practical choice for those seeking gentle pore care and calming botanicals without harsh stripping, as well as anyone who prefers compact, travel-ready Korean skincare solutions.
