Abib Pore clay pack cleanser Heartleaf charcoal foam

Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-21

What is this product?

A 120ml pack-to-foam clay cleanser built on five clays, charcoal powder at 7,744 ppm and Houttuynia Cordata extract at 3,038 ppm, aimed at oily, pore-prone skin. Numbers on the page for blackhead, whitehead and sebum improvement lack disclosed test conditions, so treat them as unverified. The formula is fragrance-free and rinse-off, which keeps irritation risk low.

What makes it different?

Clays sit at the very top of the list (kaolin third, bentonite fourth), which is unusually high for a cleanser and supports the pack-type use. Charcoal powder, Houttuynia Cordata extract and Houttuynia Cordata powder all carry printed concentrations, a level of disclosure few cleansers offer. The later half adds asiaticoside, madecassic acid, asiatic acid, allantoin, 4-terpineol and five hyaluronate forms, so the soothing layer goes beyond a basic surfactant wash. No fragrance ingredient appears anywhere in the 56-item list.
