P.CALM Turmeric Curcumin Bubble Deep Mask

What is this product?

A carbonated bubble wash-off mask built on 20% carbonated water, three clays near the top of the list, and turmeric root extract at 980ppm, with salicylic acid in the mid-list as a documented acne-prone skin functional product. The ingredient structure fits pore and blemish care, though the improvement percentages on the page come without disclosed test conditions.

What makes it different?

Carbonated water sits first at a stated 20% concentration, which is unusually high for a bubble-type wash-off pack and explains the foaming texture. Illite, kaolin and bentonite occupy the second through fourth effective positions (numbers 2, 3 and 8 overall), giving a clay-heavy base. Turmeric root extract is printed at a specific 980ppm, and salicylic acid appears mid-list (fifteenth) consistent with the acne functional designation. The list shows no added fragrance, essential oils or ferments, which suits sensitive or reactive skin.
