innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask
Ingredient analysis and how the ad lines read
Read on 2026-09-12
What is this product?
innisfree's Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask is an 80g wash-off clay mask for oily, combination and neutral skin, used once or twice a week for about ten minutes. Three adsorbents sit high in 41 items: silica at 4, bentonite at 10, kaolin at 11, with 화산재 disclosed at 20,540ppm at position 7, which is the only published concentration in the formula and roughly 2 percent. Two AHA entries, a lactic/glycolic copolymer at 30 and lactic acid at 31, sit low with undisclosed levels, so the exfoliation is real in kind but unknowable in degree. 멘톡시프로판다이올 at 34 supplies a designed cooling sensation. No fragrance entry and no essential oil appears anywhere in the list. Walnut shell powder at 22 makes the brand's instructed rolling rinse a mild physical scrub. The brand's 98 percent sebum adsorption figure carries no test type, panel size, institution or date, and 9가지 모공 고민 enumerates nothing. Not for dry or sensitive skin, which the brand's own statutory row also indicates.
What makes it different?
Three things separate it from neighbouring clay masks. First, the headline active carries a published figure inside the statutory panel rather than only in marketing copy: 화산재(20,540ppm) at position 7 is auditable against the ingredient list, which is the reverse of the usual disclosure pattern. Second, the acid story and the acid dose point in opposite directions, with AHA prominent in the brand's headline copy and both acid entries sitting at 30 and 31 of 41 at undisclosed levels. Third, the product is formulated without any fragrance entry while its own nearest sibling declares one, which makes the fragrance axis a real choice within the same line rather than across brands.
