How it works
Kaolin, Bentonite and Diatomaceous Earth form the mud base, absorbing surface oil the way clay masks do but built into a rinse-off foam instead. Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acid and Malic Acid sit in at cleanser-level concentration for mild surface exfoliation, while Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid and Beta-Glucan offset the clay and acids so the sebum-focused formula does not over-strip the skin during the short contact time of a cleanse. It is meant to be rinsed thoroughly with lukewarm water rather than hot, since hot water alone can undercut what a gentler surfactant base is built to avoid. This particular listing is the 150ml size TIRTIR sells for the line, packaged and formulated for the Korean market rather than a separate US release.
Key benefits
- Kaolin, Bentonite and Diatomaceous Earth for oil absorption
- Glycolic, Lactic and Malic Acid at cleanser-level concentration
- Sodium Hyaluronate, Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic Acid and Beta-Glucan to offset stripping
- Rinse-off foam format rather than a leave-on clay mask
- Brought in as the exact Korean-market SKU TIRTIR sells at home, not a separate US-market formulation
Key actives
Sodium Hyaluronate CrosspolymerCross-linked humectant
A cross-linked form of Sodium Hyaluronate built to sit on the skin's surface longer than the standard molecule, giving a more cushioned, film-forming hold of moisture.
Sodium HyaluronateHumectant, water-binding
The salt form of hyaluronic acid, and the exact form this row's own ingredient list names, drawing water into the skin's surface layers for a plumper, more hydrated feel.
Hydrolyzed Hyaluronic AcidLow-molecular-weight humectant
A broken-down, lower-molecular-weight version of hyaluronic acid that sits closer to the skin's surface than the larger molecule, layering a second depth of hydration.
Hyaluronic AcidHumectant, water-binding
The classic water-binding humectant, named directly on this row's own ingredient list rather than inferred, drawing moisture into the surface of the skin.
Beta-GlucanSoothing humectant
A soothing polysaccharide that holds water at the skin's surface while calming visible irritation, a combination that makes it a common pick in Korean sensitive-skin formulas.
Is this a mask or a cleanser?
A cleanser. It uses the same clay ingredients, Kaolin and Bentonite, that a leave-on clay mask does, but built into a rinse-off foam for daily use rather than a periodic treatment.
Will the acids in this be too strong for daily use?
The Glycolic, Lactic and Malic Acid sit at cleanser-level concentration and short contact time, which is milder than a leave-on acid treatment, though drier skin may still prefer alternating days.
Does this help with visible pores?
The clay ingredients target the oil that often makes pores look larger, so skin that is oily or shine-prone is where this formula is most suited. This is general guidance rather than a fixed rule, so adjust it based on how your own skin or the product itself responds.
Is this the same formula sold in Korea, or a version made for the US market?
This is TIRTIR's Korean-market formula, sourced and shipped with its original Korean-market packaging and batch coding rather than a separate US-reformulated version. Korean Pharmacy stocks the exact SKU sold through Korean retail rather than a substitute built for US shelves, which is the point of buying from a specialist rather than a general beauty retailer.
How should I store this to keep it in good condition?
Keep the cap or compact closed between uses and store it away from direct sunlight and heat, the same way you would any cosmetic. A cool, dry spot such as a drawer or cabinet keeps the texture and finish consistent for longer than leaving it exposed on a warm windowsill or in a hot car.

How to use
- Work a small amount into a lather with wet hands, massage over oil-prone areas like the T-zone specifically, and rinse thoroughly. Daily use suits oily or combination skin; drier or combination-dry skin may prefer alternating with a gentler cleanser.
Worth knowing
- Avoid combining a clay or acid cleanser with a strong exfoliating treatment on the same day.
- Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm rather than hot water, which helps avoid stripping the skin further.

Hyaluronic acid helps bind water to collagen, which traps water in the skin. That helps make the skin more plump and full-looking.
