How to use
HOW TO USEAs a Daily Cleanser
Take a pea-sized amount onto wet hands. Lather into a rich foam and gently massage onto wet face. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
As a Clay Mask (Recommended)
Apply a generous layer onto dry face, avoiding eye area. Leave on for 3-5 minutes until slightly dried. Add water and massage in circular motions to transform into foam. Rinse thoroughly.
Pro Tip: Enhanced Pore Care
For deeper cleansing, use with a silicone cleansing brush or Daiso finger brush while rinsing. This helps physically extract loosened sebum plugs for maximum pore purification.

Frequently asked questions
FAQYes, this product is considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It does not contain any of the commonly contraindicated ingredients like retinoids (retinol, tretinoin), salicylic acid, hydroquinone, or chemical sunscreens (oxybenzone, avobenzone). The formula is fragrance-free and uses gentle, naturally-derived ingredients. However, always consult your healthcare provider if you have specific concerns.
No, this product is NOT fungal acne safe. It contains several fatty acids that can feed malassezia yeast, including: Myristic Acid (C14), Lauric Acid (C12), Palmitic Acid (C16), and Stearic Acid (C18). Additionally, it contains Hydrogenated Lecithin which may also promote malassezia growth. If you have fungal acne (pityrosporum folliculitis), consider alternatives like COSRX BHA Blackhead Power Liquid or Malezia products.
Yes, but with caution. Since this is a rinse-off product without active exfoliants, it can generally be used alongside other actives. However, to avoid over-irritating your skin: avoid using strong AHA/BHA or retinol on the same night you use this as a mask treatment. When used as a daily cleanser (quick wash), it's gentle enough to use before most actives. Always follow with hydrating products, especially when using retinol or chemical exfoliants.
This cleanser is best suited for oily and combination skin types. It excels at absorbing excess sebum and purifying congested pores. Normal skin can use it as a weekly treatment. Sensitive skin can also benefit (fragrance-free, contains Centella), but should start with shorter application times. Dry skin types should use sparingly and follow with extra hydration. Not recommended for those with active fungal acne.
You'll notice immediate results after the first use: skin feels cleaner, pores appear less congested, and texture feels smoother. Clinical studies show 75.44% reduction in pore waste and 57.44% reduction in excess sebum. For visible improvement in blackheads and pore appearance, expect to see significant changes within 1-2 weeks of regular use (2-3 times weekly). Long-term pore refinement typically occurs after 4-6 weeks of consistent use.
Use this product in the cleansing step of your routine—specifically as your second cleanser in a double-cleansing routine (after oil cleanser). For best results as a mask: apply to dry skin after removing makeup with oil cleanser. As a daily cleanser: use on wet skin as your primary or secondary cleanser. Follow with toner, serum, moisturizer, and sunscreen (AM only). Use the mask treatment 2-3 times per week in your PM routine.
The comedogenic rating is 2/5 (low-moderate). While the product contains some fatty acids that could potentially be comedogenic (myristic acid, lauric acid), the clay base and rinse-off nature of the product significantly reduce clogging risk. The 6-clay complex actively draws out pore-clogging sebum and impurities. Most users with acne-prone skin report improved clarity, not increased breakouts. However, if you're highly sensitive to fatty acids, patch test first.
The Period After Opening (PAO) is 12 months. The 120ml tube typically lasts 3-4 months with regular use (2-3 times weekly as mask, or daily as cleanser). A pea-sized amount is sufficient for cleansing, and a thin layer covers the full face for mask use. The squeeze tube packaging helps maintain product freshness by minimizing air exposure. Note: natural color variation from mint ingredients is normal and doesn't affect efficacy.
Verdict: The FULLY Green Tomato Clay Pack Cleanser is a genuinely impressive K-beauty innovation that delivers on its pore-purifying promises. The unique 49% green tomato extract combined with a powerful 6-clay complex provides clinical-level results (75% reduction in pore waste) without the harsh, tight feeling typical of clay masks. The 2-in-1 clay-to-foam technology is both satisfying to use and practical for busy routines. Winner of Women's Health 2025 Best Clay Mask award for good reason.However, it's not suitable for fungal acne sufferers due to fatty acid content, and those with very dry or extremely sensitive skin should proceed with caution. For oily, combination, or normal skin types looking for effective pore care in a vegan, fragrance-free formula, this is an excellent choice that justifies its cult-favorite status.

Understanding Silicones
If you've ever used a skincare, makeup or beauty product that's made your skin look and feel smoother tempoarily - it's likely contained Silicone. They are a popular class of ingredients found in cosmetics due to their smooth, soft, easy-to-spread and smooth properties that help creates an artificial layer/barrier on top of skin or hair (commonly found in conditioners).
For the same reasons they are popularly used, they are also commonly avoided. Anecdotally, many individuals have reported that Silicones cause/excerbate breakouts, irritation, cause a feeling of skin being unable to breathe, cause clumping of cosmetic products and find it difficult to wash off. As a result, those who find them problematic are avoiding them and increasingly, cosmetic companies are avoiding them as well.
If you have had bad experiences with Silicones in the past, or suspect they are problematic then look out for the tick on the Silicone-free label.
Disclaimer
The Silicone-free label only includes the most common Silicone ingredients that have indentified been reported by individuals that could potentially cause issues.
These include: Amodimethicone, Behenoxy Dimethicone, Bis-Aminopropyl Dimethicone, Cetearyl Methicone, Cetyl Dimethicone, Cyclomethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethicone Copolyol, Dimethiconol, Methicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Phenyl Trimethicone, Stearoxy Dimethicone, Stearyl Dimethicone, Trimethylsilylamodimethicone.

Understanding the Identified Contact Allergens
The EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has identified and established 26 cosmetic ingredients that are likely contact allergens (potential to cause skin allergies) as demonstrated in clinical or epidemiological studies. The EU's SCCS have recommend cosmetic companies to disclose them on the labels if used and in cases where the concentration exceeds 0.001% in leave-on products and 0.01% in rinse-off products, then they must be labelled.
Look out for the tick on the EU-Allergen free label to know your cosmetic is free from any of the 26 identified cosmetic ingredients.

Disclaimer
The EU Allergen Free label is for the 26 ingredients identified by the EU SCCS and products will be only flagged if a suspected ingredient is on it's ingredient list. It is possible for cosmetics to contain one of the suspect ingredients without it appearing on the ingredient list due to it not reaching the concentration threshold to disclose it and cosmetic manufacturers choice to not disclose it.

Fungal Acne (Molassezia) Safe
Understanding Fungal Acne (Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia Folliculitis)
Pityrosporum Folliculitis/Malassezia folliculitis or simply known as Fungal Acne is a persistent acne-like condition that commonly responds poorly to traditional acne-treating methods. Unlike most cases of Acne where bacteria is the culprit, Fungi is the culprit of Fungal Acne (Hence the name!). There are certain classes & groups of ingredients that have been shown to promote and feed the growth of the Fungal Acne, Fungi such as fatty acids, oils, esters, polysorbates and fermented ingredients.
For more information regarding Fungal Acne, please visit Simple Skincare Science (f.c) - #3 of our Recommend Skincare Resources for an amazing comprehensive guide!
Please Read: How to use the Fungal Acne (Malassezia) Label
At SkinCarisma, we've done our best to identify as many ingredients as possible but note the fungal-free label may not be 100% accurate due to the complexconditions and combination of ingredients that malezzeria can thrive on.
Additionally, products that may contain ingredients that have shown to feed Malassezia may not neccessarily exacerbate the condition due to concentration of ingredient used in the product, this information is simply not available on the products.
As a result, please note this is only an experimental label that can be best used to possible identify problematic products you have used in the past. It is in no way a perfect identifier nor a predictor in whether or not it will exacerbate or cause fungal acne. It will continue to be worked on as more information and research comes to light.
If you find any ingredients you believe should be included, please email us at snails@skincarisma.com.
Disclaimer
Due to the lack of substantial research into this area it is very likely there are other ingredients and class/groups of ingredients that could feed Fungal Acne which have not been indentified.
The Fungal-Safe label does not constitute as medical advice. For your specific case, always consult your medical professiona such as dermatologist, physician, pharmacist, or health care provider - please read our medical disclaimer for more information.
What are Notable Effects & Ingredients?
Ever used a product that promised a certain effect but provided no results? It might not have contained any notable ingredients that could have been responsible for that promised effect. It doesn't matter what the marketing or packaging «promises» it can do, if it doesn't contain anything that can help - then the likelihood of it helping is low.
We help you identify key notable ingredients that have been shown to help with effects such as acne-fighting, brightening, UV-protection, wound healing & anti-aging to help you achieve your skincare goals smarter. Please note that different notable ingredients have varying levels of research behind them, some are extremely well proven yet some have mixed research in their efficacy.
Pro Tip Alert!
Just because a product doesn't contain any notable ingredients doesn't mean it's bad. And a product with notable ingredients (or even many) doesn't necessarily guarantee the efficacy of the product performing these effects either. There are other factors such as ingredient quality, concentration and formulation that will ultimately determine this.
Be smart and use this as just a starting point for you to make more informed and smarter choices and compare it with reviews to see if the product is right for you

What is the Ingredient Safety Breakdown?
Ingredient Safety Breakdown refers to the percentage % of ingredients in different risk categories as classified by EWG (Environment Working Group) if they are available. There are almost endless cosmetic ingredients and they are one of the few organisations globally that have assigned ratings to a lot of the more commonly used ingredients which is why we reference them.
Pro Tip Alert!
EWG is seen by many to be more on the alarmist side in their assignment of health ratings resulting in rating ingredients as riskier than they actually are. We recommend using this a reference point rather than a strict guide of ingredient safety and to always do further research if into ingredients that you may find suspect.
