Product overview
Key Ingredients
Confirmed via an ingredient-database cross-check site (domain verified as genuine, not the known typosquat redirect): Aqua, Mineral Oil, Sea Silt, Salt Mine Mud, Cetearyl Alcohol, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Glyceryl Stearate, Ozokerite, Beeswax, Acrylates Copolymer, Iron Oxides, Triethanolamine, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, Butylene Glycol, Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Diazolidinyl Urea, and Parfum. Two important notes: first, this base formula (mineral oil, sea silt, cetearyl alcohol, glyceryl stearate, ozokerite, beeswax, acrylates copolymer, triethanolamine, sodium lauryl sulfate, butylene glycol, methylparaben, propylparaben, diazolidinyl urea, parfum) is nearly identical to the confirmed ingredient panel of Laikou's unrelated Sakura Mud Mask, with only the featured botanical extract swapped (Camellia Sinensis/Matcha here vs. Prunus Lannesiana/Sakura there) -- this strongly suggests a shared generic mud-mask base reused across the brand's "flavor" mask line rather than a bespoke matcha-specific formulation. Second, the official Laikou brand website's own marketing text for this mask family separately claims key ingredients including Hamamelis Virginiana Extract and Sodium Hyaluronate -- neither of which appears anywhere in the actual confirmed ingredient panel above; this discrepancy between marketing claims and the filed ingredient list is disclosed rather than resolved.
Key Features
An 85g clay-based mud mask built around a mineral mud/sea silt base with Camellia Sinensis (Matcha/Green Tea) Leaf Extract, positioned for deep pore cleansing, oil absorption, and reducing the appearance of blackheads.
Benefits
Sea Silt and Salt Mine Mud are clay-type ingredients commonly used to help absorb excess oil and draw impurities from pores. Camellia Sinensis Leaf Extract is generally associated with mild antioxidant and soothing properties in skincare, though given the discrepancy noted above between marketing claims and the confirmed ingredient list, specific brightening or soothing claims beyond general clay-mask exfoliation should be treated with some caution.
Who Can Use This Product
Generally positioned for oily or acne-prone skin seeking deep pore cleansing. This formula contains Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and fragrance (Parfum), so those with known sensitivities to sulfates or fragrance, or with dry or very sensitive skin, should patch test first or use with caution, since clay masks can be drying with frequent use.
How to Use
Apply an even layer to clean skin, avoiding the eye and lip area. Leave on for 15-20 minutes, then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Use 2-3 times per week rather than daily to avoid over-drying the skin.
Storage & Safety
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep out of reach of children. Avoid contact with eyes; rinse thoroughly with water if contact occurs. Discontinue use if irritation, excessive dryness, or an allergic reaction develops.

Q: How long should the mask be left on?

Q: Is this a bespoke matcha formula, or does it share a base with other Laikou masks?
