HANYUL Chestnut Shell Hydrating Pore Mask 100ml

A hanyul pore mask built around chestnut shell powder targets one specific problem: pores that look larger than they are once oil and debris settle into them. HANYUL uses chestnut shell powder at a concentrated 20,000 ppm, paired with a smaller dose of chestnut bark extract, to physically and gently work through congestion during the short time the mask sits on skin. It is not a peel and not an overnight treatment. You apply it, wait, then rinse it away, and the skin underneath should feel clearer rather than stripped.

Why You'll Love It

• Draws out visible congestion using chestnut shell powder at 20,000 ppm, concentrated enough to work on blackhead-prone areas without needing an abrasive scrub.
• Keeps skin from feeling tight thanks to a hyaluronic acid blend (sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid and sodium acetylated hyaluronate) layered through the clay base.
• Calms while it clears with aloe vera leaf extract and chestnut bark extract, so the mask does not leave the redness some clay treatments cause.
• Rinses off clean with lukewarm water and a light roll of the fingertips, no scrubbing and no residue left behind on the skin.

Key Ingredients

• Chestnut shell powder (20,000 ppm): the core pore-clearing ingredient, ground fine enough to work into congestion without scratching the skin.
• Chestnut bark extract: supports the shell powder and adds a calming effect once the mask is rinsed off.
• Hyaluronic acid complex: sodium hyaluronate, hydrolyzed hyaluronic acid and its crosspolymer form keep the skin from feeling stripped during the treatment.
• Aloe vera leaf extract: a familiar soothing ingredient that offsets any tightness from the clay base.

How to Use

1. AM or PM, 2 to 3 times a week: apply an even layer over cleansed, dry skin, avoiding the eye and mouth area.
2. Leave on for 10 to 15 minutes. Do not let it dry to a hard, cracking finish; rinse once it is tacky rather than fully set.
3. Wet your fingertips with lukewarm water and gently roll the mask off, focusing on the nose and chin. Rinse thoroughly.
4. Follow with a hydrating toner and moisturiser, since clay masks can leave skin slightly thirsty afterwards.

Suitable For

Oily and combination skin, and anyone with visibly enlarged pores around the T-zone. Those with very dry or reactive skin should patch test first and limit use to once a week.

FAQ

Q: How often should I use a pore mask like this?
Ans: Two to three times a week is the general guide. Daily use on a clay mask this concentrated can leave skin over-dried, even with the hyaluronic acid included.

Q: Will this dry my skin out?
Ans: It is formulated with a hyaluronic acid blend specifically to reduce that risk, but any clay mask draws some moisture out as it works. Following up with a moisturiser is worth doing every time.

Q: Can I use this on sensitive skin?
Ans: Patch test first. The formula includes soothing ingredients like aloe vera, but chestnut shell powder is still an active exfoliating-adjacent ingredient, so sensitive skin should start with shorter wear times.

Q: Does it help with blackheads specifically?
Ans: It is designed to loosen congestion in pores rather than extract individual blackheads. Regular use alongside a proper cleansing routine gives the best results for that concern.
