Esthederm Intensive Propolis+ Kaolin Purifying Mask

Esthederm Intensive Propolis+ Kaolin Purifying Mask is an SOS anti-blackhead purifying mask for combination to oily, blemish-prone skin. Kaolin, a natural mineral clay, absorbs excess sebum and impurities, while propolis extract soothes and purifies, with zinc gluconate and salicylic acid helping refine pores. It deeply cleanses and rebalances without stripping or drying. The thick cream comes in a 75 ml tube.

It is for combination to oily, blemish-prone and uneven skin with blackheads, visible pores, excess sebum, irregular texture or shine, and it is for adult use only. Esthederm describes the finish as non drying and comfortable, even for sensitive skin. If your skin is dry and not congested, you do not need a clay mask; a hydrating cream will serve you better.

Apply a thin layer to clean, dry skin on the face and neck, leave it on for 15 minutes, then rinse off thoroughly with water. For intensive results, use it daily for 7 days, then 2 to 3 times per week. You can also apply it locally to problem areas only, such as the nose or chin. Follow with your usual moisturizer.

Esthederm reports that most users found skin smooth and purified from the first application, with blackheads looking less visible and the skin's surface refined in the use test. Expect an immediate matte, clean feel, with blackhead improvement building over the 7 day intensive phase and ongoing weekly use. Applied in a thin layer, a 75 ml tube typically lasts a couple of months.

It fits into the Intensive Propolis+ routine: cleanse, mask, then Intensive Propolis+ Zinc Serum-Lotion, Intensive Propolis+ Salicylic Acid Concentrate Serum on the T-zone in the evening, and Intensive Propolis+ Ferulic Acid Skin Perfecting Cream to moisturize and mattify. Esthederm notes the Intensive Collection can be used alongside your usual skincare or cosmetic procedures. Sunscreen by day keeps marks from darkening.

Keep it away from the eyes and off broken or irritated skin. It is for adult use only. On mask days, skip other exfoliating acids or scrubs so you are not over-purifying, and patch test if you are reactive. Propolis is a bee product, so avoid it if you are allergic to bee products. Rinse fully, since leftover clay can feel tight.

The Kaolin mask is a rinse off clay mask that absorbs oil and draws out impurities to target blackheads and shine, used for 15 minutes a few times a week. The AHA Peel is a leave on nightly serum with 12% AHA and BHA that resurfaces texture and refines pores over a two month course. Use the mask for congestion and oil, the peel for overall texture and glow; they suit different evenings.
