Pores Look Smaller, Instantly

Users say it gives an 'immediate tightening' effect. The AHA/BHA blend and hydrating essence work together to temporarily plump the skin around pores, making them appear less visible right after use.

Skin Feels Deeply Clean, Not Stripped

Reviewers note it leaves skin feeling 'refreshed and clean' without that tight, dry feeling. It clarifies congestion while the hydrating base keeps your skin's moisture barrier happy.

Fights The 'Grimy' City Skin Feeling

It tackles the buildup from daily pollution and makeup that regular cleansing can miss. People love that it provides a 'deep clean' their routine was missing.

Smooths Skin Texture in One Use

The gentle exfoliation helps slough off dull, dead skin cells. Customers report their makeup goes on 'more smoothly' the next day because their skin's surface is evened out.

Calms Redness and Irritation

Thanks to licorice root and the absence of alcohol, it's formulated to soothe. Users with sensitive skin say it's 'gentle' and doesn't cause stinging or redness.

Prevents Future Blackheads

By keeping pores clear of oil and debris, it helps stop new blackheads from forming. It's a proactive step, not just a reactive fix.

Maximizes Your Other Skincare

With a clearer, smoother canvas, your serums and moisturizers can penetrate better and work more effectively. It's the perfect prep step.

A Quick, Effective Reset

In just 10-15 minutes, it delivers a concentrated treatment. Busy users call it a 'lifesaver' for giving their skin a noticeable boost with minimal effort.

1. After cleansing and toning, unfold the mask and apply it to your face, aligning it with your eyes, nose, and mouth. 2. Gently press the sheet to ensure full contact with your skin. 3. Leave on for 10-15 minutes (the 'sweet spot' noted by users for maximum absorption without over-drying). 4. Remove the mask and gently pat the remaining essence into your skin until fully absorbed. No need to rinse. For best results, use 2-3 times per week, ideally in the evening to let your skin recover overnight. Timeline Expectations: Week 1: Skin feels instantly refreshed and smoother to the touch, with a noticeable 'clean' feeling. Week 2-3: Pores appear less visible, especially around the nose and cheeks. Skin texture becomes more even. Week 4+: With consistent use, pores look clarified and refined. Skin maintains a clearer, more balanced state with less congestion.

Born from Kose's 70+ year obsession with Japanese skincare science, this mask was created for one reason: to give your skin the reset button it deserves after a long day. Modern life—pollution, stress, blue light—creates invisible buildup that clogs pores. Our labs in Japan developed this formula using a patented blend of AHA and BHA, plus Japanese botanical extracts like licorice root, chosen for their gentle yet effective clarifying properties. Every batch is produced in a GMP-certified facility, the same standard used for pharmaceuticals, ensuring purity and potency. It's not just a mask; it's a targeted pore-care ritual trusted by millions in Japan, consistently ranking as a top-selling sheet mask for its no-nonsense, visible results.

The Kose Clear Turn Sorry Bare Skin Pore Care Mask - 7 Sheets Japan by Kose features a carefully curated blend of ingredients designed to address pore-related concerns and enhance skin clarity. Key components include hyaluronic acid, which serves as a powerful humectant to deeply hydrate and plump the skin, improving elasticity and reducing the appearance of fine lines. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is included for its anti-inflammatory properties, helping to minimize pore size, regulate sebum production, and brighten the complexion by reducing hyperpigmentation. The mask also contains charcoal powder, which acts as a detoxifying agent to draw out impurities, excess oil, and environmental pollutants from pores, promoting a cleaner and more refined skin texture. Additionally, botanical extracts such as tea tree leaf extract provide antimicrobial benefits to soothe irritation and prevent breakouts, while allantoin offers gentle exfoliation and skin-soothing effects to support barrier repair. Together, these ingredients work synergistically to purify, hydrate, and refine the skin, resulting in a smoother, more balanced, and visibly clearer complexion with regular use.
