HATHERINE Pore Clear White Nose Pack

What is this product?

A peel-off style white nose pack built around PVP and hydrated silica for adhering to and lifting sebum and blackheads, with soothing plant extracts behind them. It lists fragrance and methylparaben, and no concentrations or pH are disclosed.

What makes it different?

The formula opens with PVP and hydrated silica, which is the typical structure of a film-forming peel-off pack rather than a rinse-off or clay mask. Dipotassium glycyrrhizate plus aloe, mugwort and soybean extracts add a soothing angle uncommon in basic strip products. Titanium dioxide explains the white finish. Concentrations are undisclosed across the board, so the plant extracts sit after several base ingredients and their practical weight is unknown.

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked the one line this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. One of them looks likely, though none are proven outright.

Claims translated from Korean, originals preserved.

Each line is quoted as the brand published it, and each one was read on its own against the ingredient list and the documents the brand publishes.
