FAQ
What is the difference between hyaluronic clay and a formula with normal clay mixed with hyaluronic acid?
Hyaluronic-infused clay is a next-generation, non-drying clay that effectively helps clear pores and hydrate skin. It’s created through a high speed shear mixing process to allow for complete dispersion of hyaluronic acid in kaolin clay, known for its pore refining powers. It’s more effective than hyaluronic acid included separately from clay, but our formula also contains free-form hyaluronic acid so it has the best of both worlds for maximum hydration.
Why add hyaluronic acid to a clay mask?
K-beauty’s approach of incorporating typically harsh actives into a much more gentle formula was key in Watermelon Facial’s development. Our goal was to take clay (an effective but drying ingredient) and dual exfoliants (sometimes harsh for sensitive skin) and make it for all skin types so everyone can enjoy a pore-refining, non-drying treatment! We infused our clay with HA to counteract the sometimes drying effects of clay on the skin. This proprietary blend helps the facial provide a nourishing, hydrating experience in addition to the pore refining.
Is it non-comedogenic/non-acnegenic? Is it suitable for acne-prone, oily skin?
While it is not tested as non-comedogenic/non-acnegenic, it has effective ingredients to help acne-prone skin types. The HA-infused clay and BHA help decongest and refine the look of pores, without drying skin, while PHA and Watermelon Enzymes smooth any dead skin to avoid cell buildup. This product has been dermatologist-tested & clinically proven to improve skin hydration and minimize the appearance of pores. This product is allergy-safe & can be used on sensitive skin.
Can you use it day and night?
It can be used once a day for up to 5 minutes. For people with sensitive skin, we recommend using it for 2 minutes and then gradually increasing usage time.
Is it easy to wash off?
Yes! The whipped, soft hyaluronic clay never dries down or “cakes” onto the skin and helps to hydrate. Because of this, it easily washes off.
At which step of the skincare routine should I use it?
Watermelon Facial should be used on cleansed, moist skin. So, feel free to use the mask at any time of the day after you cleanse and before the rest of your skincare routine.
Can I use the Watermelon Pore-Tight Toner together?
We encourage you to use these products together in the same routine for an extra pore-clarifying, hydrating routine!
What is the recyclability of the packaging?
Every part of this packaging is recyclable. The glass jar, plastic cap, plastic inner lid, plastic spatula, and the entire carton can be recycled curbside. The plastic cap and pump can be recycled through our Terracycle program. Please rinse out the bottle before recycling!

Sensitive Skin approved!
I have suffered with red patches on my cheeks, chin and eyebrow area for a very long time now. It's been about 3-4 weeks now and I have noticed a huge difference. Those areas are still red but feel much smoother, less bumpy and my skin feels much more softer. The first 1-2 weeks I did only leave it for 2 minutes like the instructions said but also used it every other day and worked my way up to every day or night for 5 minutes.

Amazing! I’m in love!
I really cannot say enough about how amazing this mask is! I have tried many masks but none seem to compare. After using it just twice, I can honestly see a difference in the size of my pores and in the smoothness of my skin.

Immediate results
I was hesitant to try this having aging skin. This looks like a product for a 20 something college student but I judged way too quickly! This works for pore size and it works immediately! After 4 months of using my skin is so smooth. I use the 3X a week because of the cost-size. I would work up to the 5mins and make sure your skin is moist not soaking wet.
