Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read

Read on 2026-09-21

What is this product?

A rinse-off style gel mask built around hydrolyzed sponge spicules at a disclosed 1,000.099 ppm, with niacinamide sitting fifth and two forms of vitamin A in the mid-to-late part of the list, so it suits pore and texture concerns but needs caution for retinoid-sensitive or pregnant users.

What makes it different?

The formula discloses a spicule concentration, 1,000.099 ppm of hydrolyzed sponge, which is uncommon precision for this category. Niacinamide sits at position 5 of 54, giving it meaningful weight, and both retinol (34) and hydroxypinacolone retinoate (27) appear alongside adenosine (16) and glutathione (22). The base is a humectant and gum system with five hyaluronic acid derivatives near the end, and no fragrance or drying alcohol was found in the list.
