As an oily-skinned girl, I’ve been trying to combat large pores for most of my adolescence and adulthood. I’m always searching for products to reduce their appearance.
The Leaders Cosmetics USA website states that “Leaders Mediu Amino masks contain 17 different types of amino acid, which are natural moisturizing factors, Amino masks help to moisturize, protect, and soothe the skin by supplementing the essential ingredients for skin composition.” The brand recommends this mask for skin with visible pores that need lifting and skin that’s losing elasticity. This product claims to refresh skin by “controlling and removing excess sebum and dead skin cells to clear the pores of impurities. Tea tree oil ingredients help to calm and control excess sebum, while zinc PCA components prevent pores from expanding.”

This mask feels immediately very cooling even without refrigeration. I actually recommend you use it at room temperature. I find that this particular sheet mask essence absorbs a little better at room temperature. The product does tighten pores as it claims. As I mentioned above, large pores are one of my main skin concerns, and this sheet mask does a very nice job of reducing their appearance. Just remember that this sheet mask is purely pore tightening, not pore cleaning. I recommend doing a clay mask or some sort of pore cleaning prior to using this mask to maximize visible results.
