Salicylic Fix Blackhead Steam Mask 8%

One of the problems with existing solutions is the potential skin dryness, which is why we enhanced our formula with panthenol, macadamia seed oil, and over 70% glycerin (which gives it the thick texture). This effectively targets stubborn blackheads, whiteheads, congestion and clogged pores, without causing dryness or irritation. As this mask is glycerin based and not water based like most clay masks, the humectant properties draw moisture from the lower levels of the skin, whilst the actives exfoliate deep within the pore. Get ready for a smoother, softer and clearer complexion.

Made with self-heating technology, this mask mimics the benefits of steam by creating a warming effect between the product and your skin. This gently opens pores, allowing the ingredients to penetrate deeply and remove dirt, oil, and debris trapped inside. The exterior surface of the mask will harden slightly whilst you wear it, to lock in all the good stuff below. Enjoy the pleasant feeling of the warmth on your skin, while your skincare is hard at work. 

How it works:

2% salicylic acid: Exfoliates inside the pores, flushing out congestion and reducing the overall appearance of blackheads. 

2% spiraea ulmaria extract: An enzyme derived from the Meadowsweet plant, it helps to balance sebum and promote clearer pores.

4% niacinamide: A powerful multi-tasking vitamin that helps reduce the appearance of enlarged pores and regulate oil production while hydrating the skin.

1% Panthenol: Skin soothing, skin barrier supporting active which deeply hydrates the skin.  

70% Glycerin: A powerful humectant that locks in moisture and helps attract hydration to the skin's surface, leaving it plump and hydrated.

How to use:

WHEN

Step 2 of your evening skincare routine – treat.

Use 2-3x per week. After your evening cleanse, apply this as your treatment step. Follow with a concentrate and/or serum, then finish with your favourite night cream. We recommend the Hyaluronic Fix Extreme4 Overnight Bounce Water Cream 2% to replenish hydration without clogging your pores.

Key areas for use include the t-zone, forehead and chin. Can be applied as a targeted treatment to specific breakouts or across the full face.

HOW

Apply a thick layer onto congested areas using your fingers or a brush to activate the self-heating technology. Avoid delicate areas, such as around the eyes and mouth. Leave on for 10–15 minutes and rinse off with lukewarm water.

TIPS

The perfect add-on for anyone looking to target congestion and blackheads. Suitable for all skin types, including dry, this formula is your go-to for refined and clear pores. To minimise irritation, avoid pairing it with other leave-on products containing Salicylic Acid or potent actives such as Glycolic Acid or Retinol.

CAUTIONS

Perform a patch test on a discreet area at least 24 hours before applying to your face. Avoid eye contact. If contact occurs, rinse well with lukewarm water. Discontinue use if irritation develops. Do not apply on irritated skin. A temporary tingling sensation and redness may occur.
