Pores Look Cleaner and Tighter

Users say it makes pores "less visible" and "look smaller." The Keana Rice extract helps to gently decongest and refine the appearance of enlarged pores, giving skin a smoother, airbrushed finish.

Skin Feels Deeply Hydrated, Not Sticky

Reviewers love that it gives "intense moisture" but absorbs completely with "no sticky feeling." The 23ml of essence delivers a surge of hydration that leaves skin plump and supple.

Fades Dullness for a 'Shiny' Glow

This is the "shiny" in the name—a translucent, healthy glow from within. It tackles the gray, tired look caused by stress and pollution, revealing brighter, more radiant skin.

Smooths Rough Texture Overnight

Many note their skin is "softer" and "smoother" the next morning. Consistent use helps improve skin's texture, making it feel silkier to the touch.

Perfect Prep for Makeup

It's a favorite for creating a "smooth base" for foundation. By hydrating and smoothing the skin's surface, it helps makeup apply more evenly and last longer.

Calms Redness and Irritation

The gentle, fragrance-free formula is known to be "soothing" and "doesn't irritate" sensitive skin. It helps to calm temporary redness for a more even complexion.

Quick Self-Care Ritual

Fits easily into a busy routine. In just 15 minutes, it delivers a spa-like treatment that feels like a "reset" for your skin and mind.

Maintains Skin's Resilience

By supporting the skin's moisture barrier with ceramide-like ingredients, it helps your skin better defend against daily environmental stressors, keeping it healthy long-term.

1. Cleanse and tone your face. 2. Remove the mask from the pouch and unfold it. 3. Apply the mask to your face, aligning it with your eyes, nose, and mouth. Gently smooth out any air bubbles. 4. Leave the mask on for 10-15 minutes, as recommended by users for optimal absorption without over-saturating the skin. 5. 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. Timeline Expectations: Week 1: Skin feels immediately hydrated and smoother after the first use. Pores may appear less noticeable right away. Week 2-3: With consistent use, skin texture becomes more refined. Dullness starts to fade, revealing a more even, translucent complexion. Week 4+: Pores look minimized and cleaner. Skin maintains a healthy, "shiny" (translucent) glow with a more resilient barrier against daily stressors.

Kose, founded in 1946 in Tokyo, is a name trusted in Japanese skincare for its research-driven approach. The Clear Turn Keana Shiny Genji Mask was developed specifically to address the enlarged pores and dullness caused by modern urban life—pollution, stress, and screen time. The formula centers on Keana Rice, a patented ingredient sourced from the Niigata Prefecture, known for its pure water and ideal growing conditions. This isn't just any rice extract; it's a specific, high-purity form selected for its ability to deliver moisture and refine skin texture. Every batch is produced in a GMP-certified facility in Japan, adhering to strict quality controls that exceed international standards. It's a consistent top-seller in the Japanese sheet mask category, chosen by those who prioritize precise, effective skincare backed by decades of research.

The Kose Clear Turn Keana Shiny Genji Mask - Pore Refining Sheet Mask contains a carefully formulated blend of ingredients designed to refine pores and enhance skin clarity. Key components include water and glycerin, which serve as hydrating agents to maintain skin moisture and improve the mask's texture. Niacinamide (Vitamin B3) is included for its anti-inflammatory properties, helping to reduce redness and minimize pore appearance by regulating sebum production. Hyaluronic acid provides deep hydration, plumping the skin to create a smoother surface. The mask also features botanical extracts such as rice bran extract and licorice root extract; rice bran extract offers antioxidant benefits and brightens the skin, while licorice root extract soothes and evens skin tone. Additionally, it contains butylene glycol as a humectant to lock in moisture, and fragrance for a pleasant sensory experience. These ingredients work synergistically to purify pores, reduce shine, and leave the skin looking refreshed and refined, making it ideal for those seeking a clearer, more balanced complexion.
