Innisfree Super Volcanic Clay Mousse Mask Review | Korean Beauty Brand | Indian Beauty Lifestyle Fashion Blogger

The ONLY blackhead treatment you will ever need.

Oh my complicated skin. I can probably write a complete encyclopedia on my skin's changing colors :P It was absolutely normal in childhood, then it turned into a desert-level parched in college, then it turned oily and now it alternates between dry, oily, combination, acne prone, blemish prone, sensitive, easily reddened, sun damaged and so on.... Add to the list, perennial blackheads infestation on my nose and a bit on chin! After having tried nearly every scrub available in the market, I have realized that the scrubs are just scratching my skin without having any effect on blackheads at all :(

 

 

Enter Innisfree Super Volcanic Clay Mousse Mask. Last month I was browsing through some of my favorite beauty blogs and came across tonnes of post about Korean Beauty Products that are apparently the latest craze in town. Innisfree particularly captured my attention with mention of Volcanic Ash that digs out impurities from deep inside the pores and I got Super Volcanic Clay Mousse pronto :)

 

 

Innisfree Super Volcanic Clay Mousse Mask comes in a compressed can, Packaging is practical and travel friendly. Its Ingredients are mainly Volcanic Ash and Kaolin Clay along with Lactic Acid, Silica, Walnut Shell Powder, Willow Bark Extract and a bunch of preservatives/chemical-y sounding stuff. Quantity is good enough to last 3 months even when used twice a week diligently. Claims to completely remove extra sebum, dust, fill in pores and fine lines, give complete pore care.

Bought it from Amazon for around Rs. 1700 for 100 ml. This is also available in a jar as a clay mask, I bought mousse because it is a bit better for drier skin whereas normal or oily skin can buy the super volcanic clay mask (non mousse) and it will perform the same too.

This is the first time I have used a product like this and instantly fell in love with it! The product is a grey colored mousse that easily spreads all over the face and hardens into a clay mask within 10-15 minutes after which it needs to be removed with lukewarm water. Little exfoliating bits smoothen the face but the main effect is seen with the combination of volcanic ash + clay that removes all impurities, instantly clears pores and almost magically removes all blackheads as well as whiteheads.

I was not expecting much from it but when I saw my clear face the first time, I was literally dancing with happiness. My face looked as if I just had a professional cleanup done in some salon! My nose was full of dozens of blackheads and after using this just the 1st time, it came down to 3-4 blackheads that are truly deeeeep seated.

My skin is sensitive so there was a little bit of redness on my cheeks since I had used heavy hand pressure while removing the mask but now after using it for 2 months I have understood the importance of using light hand movements and I get no more redness. My blackheads keep coming back but I no longer have to go to beauty salon to remove them and can do it easily at home. Moreover, I find better result with using warm water instead of cold water. My pores feel smaller and skin looks fresher every time I use it and I wish I could use it everyday but that would be overkill so twice a week it is :)

YES

NO

• Looks expensive but totally worth it. Still to spend Rs. 1700 on one product might seem excessive to some (But think of all the salon visits it is saving!)
• After taking out the product, tightly shut the cap immediately or the product will congest the area 
• Very sensitive skin might get some redness in beginning

Recommend- YES! A million times YES! There isn't a better product for pore cleaning and blackhead removal at home. Forget scrubs and salon visits, BUY IT NOW! Rating is 5/5 ♥
