This fit is calculated for the concerns frequently associated with acne-prone skin: breakouts, blackheads, and post-acne marks. For scores based on a full skin profile (12D face scan, goals, preferences), use the Lovi app.

A weak match for acne-prone skin; the cleansing masks alongside fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate pore cleansing and impurity absorption for your combination skin, primarily due to volcanic ash and kaolin, which help manage excess sebum.
- While the formulation is generally safe and free from harsh irritants, the physical exfoliation from juglans regia shell powder may be too abrasive for active blemishes.
- The overall safety profile is good, with tocopherol providing antioxidant benefits and no harsh ingredients identified for your acne-prone skin.

- Vectorization of high molecular weight hyaluronic acid with clay enabled its penetration into deeper skin layers and led to a significant clinical reduction in fine lines in the crow's feet area compared to placebo after 28 days. ([Skin Research and Technology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38591218/))
- Twice-weekly use of a clay mask over 4 weeks in 75 adults with oily or combination skin improved acne-related outcomes, sebum content, skin evenness, hydration, and reduced dryness and irritation. ([Skin Research and Technology, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38009030/))
- Clay jojoba oil facial masks reduced total skin lesions by a mean of 54% after 6 weeks in 133 participants with acne-prone, lesioned skin and mild acne compared to baseline. ([Forschende Komplementarmedizin, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22585103/))

([Clinical, Cosmetic and Investigational Dermatology, 2017](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28860834/))

## Questions and answers

### Why is innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask a weak match for acne-prone skin?

This product is a weak match because the physical exfoliation from walnut shell powder may be too abrasive for active blemishes. A cleansing mask for acne-prone skin needs effective acne-fighting ingredients like salicylic acid and zinc oxide or niacinamide to treat blemishes while posing no risk of irritation.

### Which ingredients make this mask a poor fit for acne-prone skin?

The physical exfoliation from walnut shell powder may be too abrasive for active blemishes. A cleansing mask for this skin needs high-quality ingredients like salicylic acid and zinc oxide to treat acne effectively without irritation.

### What do Super Volcanic Clusters do for acne-prone skin?

Super Volcanic Clusters help soak up excess oil and clear out deep dirt in acne-prone skin, making breakouts less likely. This ingredient is unlikely to irritate dry areas when used as directed.

### What does Volcanic Ash do for acne-prone skin?

Volcanic Ash helps absorb excess oil and clear out pores, which is great for keeping acne-prone skin clean and balanced. It may also help remove dead skin cells gently, though sensitive skin types should use it carefully to avoid dryness.

### Where does this mask go in a skincare routine for acne-prone skin?

This mask goes into a weekly routine for acne-prone skin, used after cleansing and before toning and moisturizing. Because this product is a weak match for this skin due to abrasive walnut shell powder that may irritate active blemishes, acne-prone skin needs a gentle clay mask with soothing and balancing ingredients like niacinamide or gentle acids.

### Can I use this mask with retinol, and in what order?

It is best to avoid using this mask on the same nights as retinol, because the physical scrub particles and clays may irritate delicate skin already dealing with breakouts. A mask for this skin needs gentle soothing ingredients and chemical exfoliants that clear pores without harsh rubbing.

### How often should I use this mask?

This mask is a weak match for your acne-prone skin because the walnut shell powder may be too rough on active blemishes. Acne-prone skin needs gentle clay masks with kaolin and volcanic ash used only once a week to help absorb excess oil without causing irritation.

### Can this mask clog pores, cause breakouts or purging for acne-prone skin?

This mask is unlikely to clog pores, but the walnut shell powder in it may be too rough and irritating for active blemishes on acne-prone skin. A product for this skin needs gentle clay and soothing ingredients to clean pores without harsh scrubbing.

### Is this mask fragrance-free and alcohol-free?

Yes, it has no fragrance and no drying alcohol. Cetearyl alcohol is a fatty alcohol, which soften the skin.
