Mugwort has become the hot ingredient of this year and for a good reason too, How else were we going to calm out makne covered faces ? This mask has been around for a few years and it is a cult favourite too but because of the current situation it took me a long time to get my hands on this.
AXIS-Y Mugwort Pore Clarifying Wash-Off Pack is the solution for Maskne. With the constant mask wearing there has been a rise in mask wearing induced acne, so AXIS-Y decided to formulate a mugwort mask pack which would solve this issue. This wash-off pack is enriched with 61% Mugwort Extract to soothe irritations, unclog pores and cleanse skin. Use this 2-3 times a week to keep the inflammation away, so you can wear your face mask without worrying about another acne breakout.
I love the compact plastic tub. I like the size and how the mask is filled to the very top
This also comes in with a spatula. Mine was tucked in side the lid
This has a nice pleasant herb scent to it.
Unlike many clay mask I have tried in the past, the texture is very creamy and easy to blend. There are soft rounded Adzuki beans which not only are a lot smoother and safer for skin but also 100% biodegradable which it safer for environment. The ingredients list is pretty long but it contains tons of anti oxidants and skin calming ingredients

While we are discussing textures, it is worth mentioning that the green color is obtained from the plants used in manufacturing this product. It washes of easily without much effort and I haven't noticed any residual oil film on my face post application.
My Experience:
Normally I love to apply a generous layer of Aloe Gel to my irritated skin but now this has bagged that number one spot on my skincare shelf. I have been applying this twice a week on all the angry red spots and this works like a charm. I have noticed visible reduction in redness on face, my skin feels a lot more clearer , pores look smaller and my skin feels soft and smooth. Just 10 mins is all you need to have better skin.
I will be stocking up more of these Amazing wash off masks because it is not easy to come by wash off clay masks that are non drying, makes the skin soft and smooth and helps with soothing irritated skin
