Product Information
Full details
This two-step gel mask is designed for individuals seeking to cool, calm, and refine stressed or irritated skin, particularly targeting redness and pore appearance. Its key benefit is a seamless, dual-action application that gently exfoliates while providing immediate soothing. A potential consideration is that it's a targeted treatment, best used periodically rather than daily.

FAQs
How often can I use the CELIMAX JIWOOGAE Cica Cool-Calming Gel Mask?
It is generally recommended to use this mask 1-2 times per week, depending on your skin's tolerance and needs. Listen to your skin and adjust usage accordingly.
Can I use this mask if I have active acne?
While the Cica and cooling properties can be soothing, the PHA exfoliation might be too much for active breakouts. It's best to use this mask when acne is not inflamed or consult with a dermatologist.
What does Cica mean?
Cica is a common name for Centella Asiatica, an herbal plant known for its soothing, anti-inflammatory, and skin-regenerating properties.
What is PHA and is it safe for sensitive skin?
PHA stands for Polyhydroxy Acid. It is a type of chemical exfoliant that is generally milder than AHAs and BHAs, making it suitable for sensitive skin types. It also has humectant properties, meaning it can help attract and retain moisture.
Can I leave the hydrogel mask on longer than 20 minutes?
While it's generally safe, leaving it on much longer may cause the mask to dry out and potentially irritate the skin. Adhering to the recommended time ensures optimal results.
Do I need to rinse my face after using the mask?
No, rinsing is not required after removing the hydrogel mask. Gently pat the remaining essence into your skin to maximize absorption of the beneficial ingredients.
Troubleshooting
Skin feels tingly after applying the peeling stick.
This is normal for a mild exfoliant. If discomfort persists or becomes intense, rinse off the product and discontinue use.
Hydrogel mask is difficult to apply or doesn't adhere well.
Ensure your skin is clean and slightly damp after the peeling step. Carefully remove both protective films before applying. Press gently to ensure good contact.
No noticeable difference in skin.
Results can vary. For optimal results, ensure proper application and consider using the mask consistently as part of your routine (e.g., once a week).
Peeling stick feels sticky or residue remains.
This is expected. The residue is designed to be a light exfoliant and is followed by the mask. Gently pat it in or rinse if preferred before applying the mask.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
This is a single-use treatment mask.
- Step 1 (Peeling Stick): After cleansing, gently swipe the PHA peeling stick over the face, avoiding the eye and lip areas. Allow a minute for the exfoliant to work.
- Step 2 (Hydrogel Mask): Remove the hydrogel mask from its packaging. Peel off the protective films from both sides and apply the mask to your face, aligning it with your features. Leave on for 15-20 minutes.
- Final Steps: Remove the mask and gently pat any remaining essence into the skin. Follow with your usual serum or moisturizer if needed.
Compatibility:
- Suitable for most skin types, including sensitive skin, due to the gentle PHA exfoliant.
- Recommended for skin experiencing redness, irritation, or enlarged pores.
- Can be used in conjunction with a regular skincare routine, but avoid using other strong exfoliants or active ingredients on the same day.
Care:
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
- This is a single-use product and should be discarded after one application.
