Packaged in a simple squeeze tube, the VT Cosmetics Cica Mask Cleanser features a creamy green clay base that helps absorb excess sebum and dirt buildup. Formulated with Centella Asiatica (Cica), green tea powder, retinol, and hyaluronic acid, the product soothes, hydrates, and gently exfoliates the skin, reducing pore congestion and redness. With a soft and natural herbal scent, the Cica Mask Cleanser has a fun, sticky, mochi-like texture that takes a bit of effort to evenly spread across the face. The formulation does contain visible specks of crushed-up herbal ingredients, but they are soft and non-abrasive, offering only a subtle physical exfoliation. Best applied on dry skin, the product can be left on like a mask for 3 to 5 minutes before massaging and rinsing for a deeper cleanse. As it's massaged in, the texture becomes creamier, and when water is added, it creates an impressive lather.

A little goes a long way, so it's best to start with way less than you think you'll need. One drawback is that as the product is rinsed off, it tends to leave a slight residue that creates a draggy resistance when gliding my hands across my face. It's a noticeable effect, though not a dealbreaker in the grand scheme of things. All in all, this is an impressive mask cleanser packed with amazing ingredients that target excess sebum, pore congestion, and irritation.
