You may have noticed that K-Beauty posts have started filtering into my blog over the past few weeks. As I’m a huge fan of K-beauty, It felt like it was time to start talking about K-Beauty. Innisfree, in regards to Korean brands, is on the more affordable side. Most products cost around 20$, and all of the ones I have tried so far are great. Recently, I bought the Innisfree Super Volcanic Pore Clay Mask, after hearing about it from meejmuse.
You can pick up this Innisfree Pore Clay Mask on Amazon for about 14$ here. If you don’t have Amazon Prime, you can get a 30 day free trial using this link here. I will not lie, the free 2 day shipping, plus all of the free music and videos are totally worth it. Prime really is worth it.
Things to know about this Innisfree mask:
- As a brand, Innisfree avoids using any parabens, synthetic colors, and mineral oils
- Additionally, animal testing is illegal in Korea. If you see “Made in Korea” on any product, it hasn’t been animal tested.
- The special ingredients in this mask:
- Jeju Volcanic Cluster
- Walnut shells
- Cellulose
- 5 different exfoliants (AHAs, BHAs, and PHAs). I will write a post talking about those 3 and explain the importance of exfoliation in more detail at a later date.
- What the mask does:
- Clears out pores
- Smooths and brightens skin over time

Since I’ve tried and tested this product, it is getting K-Cracked. I really enjoy this mask! I typically hate clay masks, but this one I really enjoy. With my acne prone, sensitive skin, most clay masks make my skin burn or feel really tight, and extremely dry. Brands like Glam Glow and Clinique cause my skin to freakout. This one does none of that. It clears out the pores, and makes the skin feel smooth. It definitely brightens it as well. Once I take it of, my pores are so clear that I feel the cold air seeping into them.
This product is extremely refreshing, and the only ingredient in it that could be seen as bad is titanium dioxide, where there is very shady research about it causing cancer. The data is inconsistent, and if the EU allows it in products, as they would have banned it by now if there was an issue (they use a guilty until proven innocent theory on chemicals), then I’m pretty sure it doesn’t cause any issues.
To be 100% honest, this product has completely changed my mind on my opinion on clay masks. Up to this point, I was 100% against them because they irritated my skin. After this one didn’t cause me any issues, my opinion has changed and I’m definitely less hesitant to try clay masks going forward.
