[Mary&May] CICA Houttuynia Tea Tree Calming Mask 30ea/400g

Mary&May CICA Houttuynia Tea Tree Calming Mask 30ea / 400g

When your skin is angry, inflamed, broken out, or simply overwhelmed — it needs one thing above all else: calm. The Mary&May CICA Houttuynia Tea Tree Calming Mask is formulated specifically for those moments. A powerful triple-calming complex of CICA, Houttuynia Cordata, and Tea Tree works in concert to rapidly reduce redness, soothe irritation, combat acne-causing bacteria, and restore balance to skin that has been pushed to its limits.

With 30 generously soaked masks per box, this is your go-to treatment for post-breakout recovery, reactive skin flare-ups, after sun exposure, or any time your skin is calling out for relief. Gentle enough for daily use, yet potent enough to deliver visible calming results from the very first application.

✨ Key Ingredients & What They Do

• CICA (Centella Asiatica Extract) — The cornerstone of Korean calming skincare. Centella Asiatica is rich in madecassoside, asiaticoside, asiatic acid, and madecassic acid — four bioactive compounds with clinically proven anti-inflammatory, wound-healing, and barrier-repairing properties. CICA reduces redness and irritation at a cellular level, accelerates the healing of damaged or compromised skin, strengthens the skin barrier against future stressors, and promotes the production of collagen for long-term skin health. It is one of the most extensively researched and trusted calming ingredients in dermatology.
• Houttuynia Cordata Extract (Heartleaf) — A powerful medicinal herb widely used in traditional Asian medicine and increasingly recognized in modern skincare for its exceptional antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Houttuynia Cordata is particularly effective against acne-causing bacteria (Cutibacterium acnes), making it a potent natural alternative to harsh acne treatments. It also soothes redness, reduces swelling around blemishes, and helps regulate sebum production — addressing both the symptoms and root causes of acne-prone skin.
• Tea Tree Oil (Melaleuca Alternifolia) — One of the most well-known and clinically validated natural antibacterial and antifungal ingredients in skincare. Tea Tree Oil effectively targets acne-causing bacteria, reduces inflammation around active breakouts, and helps prevent new blemishes from forming. Studies have shown it to be comparable to benzoyl peroxide in treating mild to moderate acne, but with significantly less irritation and dryness. In this mask formula, it is included at a skin-safe concentration that delivers its benefits without the sensitization risk of undiluted application.
• Allantoin — A gentle, skin-identical ingredient derived from the comfrey plant that soothes irritation, promotes cell renewal, and accelerates the healing of damaged skin. It works synergistically with CICA to calm and repair, making the mask suitable even for post-procedure or highly sensitized skin.
• Hyaluronic Acid — Ensures the mask deeply hydrates while it calms, preventing the dehydration that can worsen inflammation and slow skin recovery. Skin is left feeling balanced, plump, and comfortable after every use.

🌿 What It Targets

• Active breakouts, acne, and blemishes
• Redness, inflammation, and irritation
• Post-breakout marks and healing skin
• Sensitized, reactive, or stressed skin
• Excess sebum and oily, congested skin
• Sun-exposed or environmentally stressed skin
• Weakened or compromised skin barrier

🧴 Texture & Feel

Each mask is soaked in a generous, cooling essence that feels immediately soothing and refreshing upon application — like a cold compress for inflamed skin. The sheet adheres closely to the face, delivering the calming essence in sustained contact with the skin for maximum absorption. After removal, skin feels visibly calmer, less red, and more balanced — with a comfortable, non-sticky finish that allows you to continue your routine or go straight to sleep.

📋 How to Use

1. Cleanse and tone your skin before masking — clean skin maximizes essence absorption.
2. Carefully unfold the sheet mask and apply to the face, aligning the cutouts with your eyes, nose, and mouth.
3. Smooth out any air bubbles and press gently to ensure full contact with the skin.
4. Leave on for 15–20 minutes — for extra calming relief, refrigerate the mask before use for an enhanced cooling effect.
5. Remove the mask and gently pat the remaining essence into the skin — do not rinse.
6. Follow with your moisturizer to seal in the calming essence.
7. Use 3–5 times per week for ongoing calming maintenance, or daily during active breakout periods or skin flare-ups.

⚠️ Important Notes

• Suitable for all skin types, especially oily, acne-prone, sensitive, and reactive skin.
• Contains Tea Tree Oil — patch test recommended for those with known sensitivity to essential oils.
• For external use only — avoid contact with eyes. If contact occurs, rinse thoroughly with water.
• Do not reuse sheet masks.
• Store in a cool, dry place — refrigerating unused masks enhances the cooling, calming effect upon application.
