Aperire Be Frozen Pore Mask

What is this product?

A 120 g Korean wash off clay mask from Aperire, built around five clay and clay mineral entries at positions 2, 3, 8, 34 and 35 of a 52 item statutory panel: kaolin, bentonite, a Canadian colloidal clay, montmorillonite and illite. Two cooling agents close the list, menthoxypropanediol at 45 and menthol at 52, and the brand leads its marketing with a temperature drop figure of 8.8 degrees. Brand cited human application studies report pore area improved 23.53 percent, pore volume 23.81 percent and pore density 17.45 percent after a single use on a 22 subject panel over three days, and a separate 31 subject primary irritation test reports an index of 0.00 at three time points. Unlike a drying clay paste this one carries a real oil phase, with squalane, four plant oils and several fatty esters among the 52 entries, and the statutory panel prints no concentration for any of them. No fragrance entry and no drying alcohol appear in the list. The label prints no pH figure, no English ingredient list and no expiry beyond three years unopened and one year after opening, and no lived use reports were collected.

What makes it different?

Names a single sourced clay by origin inside the legal ingredient entry itself, 캐나다콜로이달클레이, and photographs the supplier certificate of origin beside it, which is a stronger form of provenance than the origin stories printed elsewhere on the same page. The count behind the five clay marketing line also holds up against the panel exactly. The build is the other half: a clay mask with squalane, four plant oils and a set of fatty esters in it, which is a cream rather than a drying paste, and two cooling agents that decide who can use it.
