I’ll be honest, I pretty much bought this for the little syringe gimmick.
“Air-laynic pore mask is a special homecare mask for pores, relying on the efficacy of carbonate hot-spring in shrinking pores. With its favorable effect on tightening skin, it helps skin get revitalized. In general, the best cycle is once 2 or 3 days use for 23 minutes each time while it may differ from various skin types.”
This product claims to use carbonated water to vanish pores. 23 Years says that this “air-laynic pore mask will be the best solution to relieve your skin troubles most soothingly.” It says that it provides intensive care to pores and blackheads using a butterfly sheet.
Instructions:
1. After cleansing, refine the skin texture with a toner.
2. Spread the airgel over the airsheet plumply and put it on the butterfly zone
3. While waiting for a full absorption for 23 minutes, please dab at your face with hands to accelerate the CO2 activity.
4. Wash off your face only with water.
Cautions:
1. Please feel yourself at ease when you notice a “pink-time (downtime)” when your skin might seem reddish for a short time.
2. Do not use it on the part where you have a scar, eczema, or dermatitis. store protected from the light. avoid eye area.
3. Please avoid using skincare products with aloe vera extract and alkali element in accordance with air-laynic pore mask.
When the airgel meets the airsheet, the carbon dioxide activity can be heard. If you’ve ever tried the carbonated bubble clay mask from Elizavecca (the one that went viral a few years ago), it produces a similar sound of micro-bubbles fizzing. The recommended 23 minutes seemed a little gimmicky to me, but I still followed instructions since it was my first time using a product like this.
This might sound a bit strange, but I thought that the airgel smelled a little like rotting food. Fortunately, you don’t really smell it as much once on the face because the airsheet is so big that it covers the entire nose, nostrils and all, so you are forced to breathe through your mouth. What is unfortunate, though, is that this mask is extremely painful. I like to think I have a decent pain tolerance, but this mask was by far the most painful beauty product I have ever tried. It felt like acidity was just burning though my skin even though this product claims to relieve skin troubles “most soothingly.” This product does clean out the pores fairly well with the exception of some more deeply rooted junk, but it doesn’t tighten the pores afterwards, leaving them more noticeable than before. I especially noticed this all over my cheek area. I had just reduced my pore size to a level I was happy with, but this product made them very prominent again, maybe even a little more than before. I found this a little strange as the product claims to vanish pores. While this may have cleaned my pores out a decent amount, I don’t look forward to using this ever again as it was way too painful and left my pores very open and prominent. I get that it’s labeled “intensive care,” but this was just too intense for me.
