Salicylic Acid Face Mask (2% BHA)

Blackheads and rough texture don’t live on the skin’s surface — they live inside the pore, where scrubs can’t reach. That’s the case for salicylic acid: it’s oil-soluble, so it travels into the pore itself and dissolves the buildup other exfoliants only polish over.

This sheet delivers a working 2% concentration — the level trusted in clarifying skincare — held against the skin for a full 15 minutes. Glycolic acid, an AHA, sweeps the surface at the same time, so pore-clearing and texture-smoothing happen in one session. Witch hazel tones, mushroom extract and beta-glucan comfort, and sodium hyaluronate makes sure exfoliation never tips into dryness.

Think of it as your weekly reset for oily, congested skin: pores look tighter, the T-zone feels genuinely clean, and makeup sits noticeably smoother the next day. Powerful enough to earn its patch test — and its sunscreen rule.

Clears Inside the Pore, Not Just On Top: Oil-soluble 2% salicylic acid reaches into congested pores and blackhead-prone zones — the places surface scrubs never touch.

BHA + AHA, One Session: Glycolic acid smooths the surface while salicylic works the depths — texture and congestion handled together in 15 minutes.

Visibly Refines the Look of Pores: Regular sessions leave enlarged pores looking tighter and the skin’s surface smoother — the difference you feel when makeup glides on.

Exfoliates Without the Dry-Out: Sodium hyaluronate, beta-glucan and allantoin hold moisture and comfort in place, so the after-feel is fresh, never stripped.

The Weekly Reset for Oily Skin: One or two sheets a week keep the T-zone in line — a rhythm strong enough to matter, gentle enough to sustain.

Sheet Format = Controlled Dose: The fibre sheet holds a measured layer of essence evenly across the skin — no over-applying, no missed zones, no guesswork.

Step 1 — Unfold the sheet onto freshly cleansed, dry skin after peeling away the lining cloth.

Step 2 — Give it a full 15 minutes, then lift the sheet away starting from the chin upward.

Step 3 — Massage in whatever essence remains and finish with a water rinse, following the pack instructions.

How often? Start with once a week and build to 2 if your skin loves it. The box allows 3–4 times weekly, but with a 2% BHA + AHA formula, more is not better — consistency is.

IMPORTANT: patch test before first use. Do not expose treated skin to the sun without sunscreen — exfoliated skin is sun-sensitive, and SPF the next morning is part of using this mask correctly. External use only.

Salicylic Acid 2% (BHA): The gold-standard pore ingredient — oil-soluble, so it exfoliates inside the pore where blackheads and congestion actually form.

Glycolic Acid (AHA): The surface partner — loosens dull, dead cells on top so skin looks smoother and more radiant after each session.

Witch Hazel Water: A classic toning botanical for oily skin, supporting that clean, refined after-feel.

Sodium Hyaluronate + Beta-Glucan: The hydration guard — moisture support that keeps a genuinely active mask comfortable.

Allantoin + Mushroom Extract + Licorice: The calm-keepers — soothing support so exfoliation ends in comfort, not redness.

Does a salicylic acid mask help with blackheads?

It’s the right ingredient for the job: salicylic acid is oil-soluble and works inside the pore where blackheads form, dissolving the buildup rather than scrubbing over it. Expect the look of blackhead-prone zones to improve over several weekly sessions, not one.

What about sebaceous filaments?

Those grey-ish dots on the nose are normal pore structures, not blackheads — nothing removes them permanently. Regular BHA use is the accepted way to keep them looking minimised; they’ll always refill in time, and any product promising otherwise is misleading you.

How often can I use a 2% BHA mask?

Once weekly to start, twice once your skin shows it’s comfortable. Signs to slow down: tightness, flaking or stinging. On mask weeks, skip other exfoliating acids and retinoids on the same days.

Is it OK for sensitive skin?

Approach with care — 2% BHA plus AHA is a genuinely active formula. Patch test first, start with 10 minutes instead of 15, and if your skin is reactive by nature, the Aloe Vera mask is the gentler chair at this table.

Do I need sunscreen after using it?

Yes — non-negotiable. Chemical exfoliation makes skin temporarily more sun-sensitive, and in the UAE sun that matters double. SPF every morning after mask nights, as the packaging itself instructs.

AHA vs BHA — what’s the difference?

AHAs (like glycolic acid) are water-soluble and work on the surface — smoothing and glow. BHAs (salicylic acid) are oil-soluble and work inside pores — congestion and blackheads. This mask uses both, which is why texture and pores improve together.

Is this mask in the Pack of 5?

Yes — it’s the clarifying specialist inside the Korean Face Mask Sheets bundle, alongside four gentler options for the rest of your week.
