Facial masks according to your skin type are major protagonists of this ritual. Most require some time to work, but from EL PAÍS Escaparate, we are going to talk about an innovation that is quite the opposite.

Visible pores, excess sebum, blackheads, and uneven texture? This stick Korean treats all these imperfections and leaves the skin ready in just three minutes. “It’s like having a mini spa at home… My skin screamed “thank you,” and I screamed “Where has this been all my life?!”” says a user who already hints at the level of this product. It is the Skin1004 clay mask that stands out for its quick and easy application.
Cleanses, soothes, and hydrates
Its goal is to visibly reduce the appearance of pores and eliminate impurities from combination and oily skin or acne-prone skin. It also helps keep excess sebum under control and improves skin texture. Additionally, thanks to its soothing properties, it does not irritate at any time.

The combination of clays and other actives
This mask for oily skin stands out for a formulation with different types of clay, which help purify, cleanse without drying, and absorb excess sebum. It also includes centella asiatica, known for its regenerating and soothing properties; aloe vera, which provides hydration; Himalayan pink salt, with exfoliating and brightening action; and red bean powder, which helps remove dead cells and improve skin texture.
Five stars out of five from 75% of those who have tried it
An average rating of 4.5 and more than 8,000 reviews are the data showing its success within Amazon’s digital community. On the platform, many users share their experience and describe how they perceive their skin before and after using it:
“Highly recommended! It’s a star product if you want to detoxify your skin, reduce the appearance of pores, and control oiliness while maintaining hydration and avoiding irritation. It’s the perfect combination of tradition (clay) and innovation (gentle formulas and practical formats) in Korean cosmetics. A must for combination to oily skin!”.
“I was pleasantly surprised. What I like most is the stick format: it’s very convenient, doesn’t stain at all, and you apply it in a moment. I notice my skin is cleaner and softer, less “heavy.” It doesn’t work miracles, but it does help pores look calmer and the skin looks better. Also, it doesn’t leave my face tight or dry (which happens with many clay masks) and it’s easy to remove. For me, it’s ideal when I want a quick extra without complications. I would buy it again”.

Skin ready in just three minutes: step-by-step on how to use it
One of its great attractions is its stick format, which couldn’t be easier to apply, like a balm. Perfect for precise areas such as the forehead, nose, and chin. Being in stick form, the application is quick and clean, without needing to get your hands dirty.
When using it, it is very important to have completely clean skin so the mask works best. Continue with your usual toner or serum and then spread the mask evenly. Leave it on for about three to five minutes and once that time has passed, rinse your face well. To finish, apply your favorite moisturizer.
