What is P.CALM Holy Basil Bubble Deep Mask?

It is a Korean clay face mask with a bubbling effect that combines 13% carbonated water, holy basil, and PHA to help cleanse pores, remove excess oil, and improve skin texture.

What is this bubble mask used for?

It is designed to purify, remove impurities, improve the appearance of visible pores, and smooth skin texture, providing a clean and fresh sensation.

How do the bubbles work?

The mask contains ingredients that generate foam during application. The bubbles are part of its cleansing system, which makes it easier to remove dirt and surface oil during massage and rinsing.

Do the bubbles penetrate deep into the pores?

Although promotional images use that expression, it does not mean that the bubbles reach deep layers of the skin. Their main function is to complement the cleansing of the skin surface and pore openings.

Does it help reduce enlarged pores?

Yes, it can visually improve their appearance by removing excess sebum and impurities. It does not permanently change the anatomical size of the pores.

Does it remove blackheads?

It helps cleanse areas where oil and impurities accumulate and can improve the appearance of some blackheads. It does not guarantee the removal of all comedones.

Is it suitable for oily skin?

Yes. The montmorillonite helps absorb excess oil, making it especially interesting for oily or combination skin.

Does it dry out the skin?

The formula contains glycerin and oat extracts to promote comfort. In the survey provided by the brand, 95.4% of the participants reported feeling their skin hydrated and without tightness. Individual tolerance may vary.

What is PHA and what does it do in this mask?

The PHA or polyhydroxy acid present is gluconolactone, an exfoliating ingredient that helps remove dead skin cells and improve skin smoothness and uniformity.

How long should the mask be left on?

Between 3 and 5 minutes, until the bubbling foam has formed. Then massage with wet hands and rinse with warm water.

How many times a week can it be used?

It is recommended 2–3 times a week if the skin tolerates it well. For more sensitive skin, it is advisable to start with a lower frequency.

Is it applied to wet or dry skin?

It is applied to the clean, dry face, to allow the foam to form. The hands are moistened at the end, during the massage before rinsing.

Is it necessary to use another cleanser afterward?

Not necessarily. After rinsing it completely, you can continue directly with your usual moisturizing treatments.

Can it be used on the nose area?

Yes. It is one of the most interesting areas to apply it, especially when there is shine, visible pores, or blackheads.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin?

The brand indicates that a skin irritation test has been performed. However, it contains PHA, cleansing agents, and botanical extracts, so it is recommended to perform a patch test before using it on the entire face.

Can I use it along with retinol or exfoliating acids?

It can be part of a routine that includes those active ingredients, but it is preferable to alternate applications to avoid excessive exfoliation or possible irritation.

Is it a mask that is left on overnight?

No. It is a rinse-off mask that should be removed with warm water after approximately 3–5 minutes.

What is the difference between this mask and a traditional clay mask?

In addition to incorporating absorbent clay, it features a texture that generates bubbles and contains PHA, combining cleansing, gentle exfoliation, and a different application experience.
