Isntree Mugwort Calming Clear Nose Pack

What is this product?

A two-step nose pack from the Korean brand Isntree, sold as five sheet pairs. Part one softens blackhead plugs with kaolin, betaine salicylate and bromelain, after which lifted plugs are removed with a supplied swab; part two is a soothing sheet with dipotassium glycyrrhizate, panthenol, centella and houttuynia. The mugwort extract behind the product name is printed at 10 ppb, a trace level. The list has no fragrance entry but includes lavender oil. The brand cites a 20 person single-use test with blackhead, whitehead and pore figures presented as percentages above 100 without a defined basis, and publishes no irritation test. Suited to oily noses with visible blackheads; approach with care on reactive skin.

What makes it different?

A chemical-soften-then-swab two-sheet system with kaolin, betaine salicylate and bromelain in the first sheet and a glycyrrhizate and centella soothing sheet second, on a bio-cellulose sheet the brand describes as coconut-derived. The headline mugwort is present only at 10 ppb.
