FOREO Matte Maniac 2.0 Masque activé UFO™

The FOREO Matte Maniac 2.0 UFO Activated Mask is a purifying, mattifying mask designed for FOREO's UFO devices. Activated charcoal draws out oil and impurities, witch hazel helps remove excess oil and tighten the look of pores, centella asiatica and snow lotus add antioxidant protection, and chrysanthemum soothes visible redness. FOREO says it mattifies oily, sebum-prone skin in about 90 seconds. A pack contains 6 masks.

Yes, oily and blemish-prone skin are exactly who it is for. The charcoal and witch hazel work on shine and clogged pores, while chrysanthemum calms irritation and redness so it does not feel harsh. If your skin is dry or very sensitive, it may be more mattifying than you need. The formula contains fragrance, so patch test if you react to scent, and never use it on broken skin.

Begin with clean, dry skin. Take the mask from its sachet, secure it to your UFO with the attachment ring, and select the Matte Maniac routine on the device or in the FOREO app. Glide the UFO slowly over your face in circular motions until the session ends. Wipe away any excess with a cotton pad or pat it in, then follow with a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer. Morning use helps control shine through the day.

A pack holds 6 masks of 6g, one per session. Oily skin can use it two or three times a week, which makes a pack last a few weeks. The matte finish shows up right after the session, in about 90 seconds according to FOREO. The look of enlarged pores and breakout recovery are longer term, so allow a few weeks of regular use before judging those results.

Use it on cleansed skin and follow with a light, oil-free moisturizer so skin stays balanced rather than stripped. In the morning, finish with a non-greasy sunscreen. It works well alongside a gentle gel cleanser and a hydrating serum, because oily skin still needs water based hydration. Alternate it with a soothing mask such as the Green Tea UFO mask on days your skin feels more reactive than oily.

Not in the same session. The mask is already purifying, so layering exfoliating acids or retinol right before or after a UFO session raises the chance of irritation. Use those actives on separate evenings, keep the mask off broken, sunburnt or irritated skin, and if you are blemish-prone with open spots, let them settle first. After a peel or professional procedure, wait for your provider's approval before using a device.

Yes. FOREO describes Matte Maniac 2.0 as 89% natural origin ingredients, vegan and cruelty-free, and suitable for all skin types. It is fragranced, so it is not a fragrance-free formula. Each mask comes in a sealed 6g sachet for a single session, so you can pack a few with your UFO for travel. Store the box at room temperature and away from heat.
