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.

Works for acne-prone skin; other cleansing masks fit it better.

## Why this fit

- Offers moderate pore-refining benefits for your combination skin, as kaolin and salicylic acid help to cleanse pores and exfoliate dead skin cells. While effective for general pore care, it lacks specific ingredients to target active breakouts.
- The inclusion of lactic acid and salicylic acid provides good keratolytic action and helps regulate desquamation, making it suitable for combination skin.
- The product is safe for your acne-prone skin, with no risks of irritation due to the absence of harsh or prohibited ingredients.

## What the research says

- A moisturizer containing licochalcone A, 1,2-decanediol, L-carnitine, and salicylic acid significantly reduced noninflammatory, inflammatory, and total acne lesion counts compared to a vehicle control in Thai patients during a 12-week maintenance phase.

## Questions and answers

### How well does innisfree Super Volcanic Clusters Pore Clearing Clay Mousse Mask work for acne-prone skin?

This mask works moderately well for acne-prone skin, as clay and salicylic acid help cleanse pores and gently remove dead skin cells. While it offers general pore care, it lacks specific ingredients to actively target breakouts. A product of this type needs high-quality ingredients like zinc oxide and niacinamide to effectively treat acne and blemishes.
Sources: [Skin Research and Technology, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38009030/), [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37941097/)

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

This mask is a good fit for your acne-prone skin because the kaolin and salicylic acid help cleanse pores and clear away dead skin cells. To work even better for this skin type, a product of this kind needs ingredients like zinc oxide or niacinamide to specifically target active breakouts and control oil.
Sources: [Skin Research and Technology, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38009030/), [BioMed Research International, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33150170/)

### 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 Clay do for acne-prone skin?

Clay helps clear acne-prone skin by reducing blemishes and excess oil while supporting overall skin smoothness and hydration. Using a clay mask regularly is unlikely to cause irritation and may improve skin evenness over time.
Sources: [Forschende Komplementarmedizin, 2012](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22585103/), [Skin Research and Technology, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38009030/)

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

This cleansing mask goes in your weekly routine after the cleanser and enzyme powder, and before your hydrating toner and treatment. A clay mask of this type works well for this skin when it includes soothing and breakout-fighting ingredients like salicylic acid and sulfur.
Sources: [Skin Research and Technology, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38009030/), [BioMed Research International, 2020](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33150170/)

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

You can use this mask in your routine, but avoid using it on the same nights you apply retinol to prevent potential irritation. Instead, use the mask on a separate weekly night, and follow up with a hydrating toner and moisturizer to keep your skin calm and balanced. For acne-prone skin, a product of this type needs added soothing ingredients and specific blemish-fighting treatments to properly target active breakouts.

### How often should I use this mask?

This cleansing mask can be used once a week as part of your weekly routine, as it is safe for your skin and helps clear pores. If your skin handles it well and you see good results, you may carefully use it more often. A product for acne-prone skin also needs specific ingredients to target active breakouts.
Sources: [Skin Research and Technology, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38009030/)

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

This mask is unlikely to clog pores or cause irritation for your acne-prone skin, but because it lacks specific ingredients to target active breakouts, this skin needs formulas with soothing ingredients and acne-fighting actives to better calm pimples and clear pores.
Sources: [Skin Research and Technology, 2023](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38009030/), [Journal of Cosmetic Dermatology, 2024](https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37941097/)

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

It has no fragrance and contains drying alcohol (alcohol).
