EIOM Trouble Patch Mask

What is this product?

An adhering patch mask for blemish-prone and oily skin, sold on a removal story that its ingredient list does not carry. The essence is 34 items and entirely aqueous: four ferment entries led by bifida ferment filtrate at second, two tea tree entries at eighth and ninth, allantoin, sodium hyaluronate and beta-glucan behind them, and no oil phase at all. What is absent is the mechanism the marketing names. Screening the list returns no adsorbent, no clay or charcoal, no exfoliating acid, no enzyme and no abrasive, so any sebum or dead-skin removal is done by the patch material, which the brand never describes: sheet fibre, adhesive and dwell time are all unpublished. Two tea tree entries high in the order make this one to patch test on reactive skin. Sheet count is printed differently on different channels.

What makes it different?

The formula and the positioning point in different directions, and that is the thing to know. The essence is a calming ferment and tea tree hydrator with no removal agent of any kind on it, while the product is named and tagged as an adsorption pack for sebum and dead skin. Any removal is mechanical and belongs to the patch, and the patch is the one component with no published description at all.

Did the ad claims hold up?

We checked 4 lines this product advertises against the ingredient list and public documents. None of them hold up on their own. They are partly right at best.

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.
