Hello, regarding the formula for an acne face mask, as the staff has recommended ingredients in the categories for dissolving clogged pores and reducing skin oiliness, I would like to suggest an example of a clay mask formula specifically focused on treating acne problems.

Acne Clearing Clay Mask Formula Example

This formula uses Green Clay as the main component for absorbing oil and impurities, supplemented with key ingredients that directly help manage acne problems.

Ingredients:

• Phase 1 (Water Phase):

  • Purified Water: 40%
  • BioSulphur™ EQ: 5% (Helps reduce oiliness, reduce inflammation)
  • Pep®-Acne: 5% (Peptide helps inhibit P.acnes bacteria)
  • Tea Tree Oil (Water Soluble): 1% (Water-soluble tea tree oil, helps antibacterial)
  • Preservative (e.g., Mild Preserved Eco): 1%

• Phase 2 (Clay Phase):

  • Green Clay: 47% (Green clay, absorbs oil, impurities, tightens pores)

• Phase 3 (Salicylic Acid Phase):

  • Propylene Glycol or Butylene Glycol: 2%
  • Salicylic Acid (BHA): 2% (Helps exfoliate skin cells, dissolve clogged pores)

Instructions:

1. In a clean beaker, combine ingredients from Phase 1 and stir until homogeneous.
2. In a separate container, dissolve Salicylic Acid (Phase 3) in Propylene Glycol or Butylene Glycol. Stir until Salicylic Acid is completely dissolved.
3. Gradually add Green Clay (Phase 2) to Phase 1 little by little while stirring or mixing until a smooth mask paste is formed.
4. Add Phase 3 (Salicylic Acid solution) to the mask mixture and mix thoroughly until evenly distributed.

How to Use:

Apply a layer of the mask to clean face, avoiding the eye and lip areas. Leave on for about 10-15 minutes, then rinse off with warm water. Use 1-2 times per week.

Notes:

• You can adjust the amount of Green Clay to achieve the desired consistency.
• Other beneficial ingredients can be added, such as Centella Asiatica Extract (Cica), Allantoin, Panthenol, to help soothe the skin and reduce irritation.
