Frequently asked questions
FAQYes, this mask is considered safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding. It contains no retinoids, salicylic acid, hydroquinone, chemical sunscreens, or other ingredients commonly advised to avoid during pregnancy. The formula focuses on gentle hydration and barrier support with rice-derived probiotics. However, if you have concerns, always consult with your healthcare provider before adding new products to your routine.
No, this product is NOT fungal acne safe. It contains Saccharomyces/Rice Bran Ferment and Lactobacillus/Rice Ferment, which are fermented ingredients that may potentially feed malassezia yeast. If you're prone to fungal acne (tiny uniform bumps, often itchy, that don't respond to traditional acne treatments), you should avoid this product and look for alternatives without fermented ingredients.
Yes! This mask works well as the final step after your active ingredients. Apply your retinol, vitamin C, or AHAs/BHAs first and let them absorb, then follow with the sleep mask to seal everything in. The mask's gentle formula won't interfere with your actives. In fact, it can help soothe potential irritation from stronger treatments. If you're new to combining products, introduce them gradually.
This mask works excellently for dry, combination, normal, and sensitive skin types. It's particularly beneficial for those with dehydrated, stressed, or barrier-compromised skin. Those with very oily skin may find it too hydrating for daily use but can benefit from using it 1-2 times per week. The formula is clinically tested for sensitive skin and is fragrance-free, making it suitable for reactive skin types.
Most users notice immediate hydration and softer skin after the first use. Within 1-2 weeks of consistent use (2-3 times per week), you should see improved skin texture and reduced dryness. Barrier strengthening benefits typically become noticeable after 4-6 weeks. Brightening effects from the rice bran extract usually appear after 8+ weeks of regular use.
Apply this as the LAST step of your evening skincare routine. The order should be: Cleanser → Toner → Essence → Serum → Eye Cream → Moisturizer (optional) → Sleep Mask. You can use it over your moisturizer for extra hydration, or in place of your moisturizer if you prefer a lighter routine. Leave it on overnight and rinse off in the morning.
This mask has a low comedogenic rating of 1/5, meaning it's unlikely to clog pores for most people. The formula is oil-free and silicone-free, which are common pore-clogging culprits. It contains no known highly comedogenic ingredients. However, everyone's skin is different, so if you're acne-prone, it's always wise to patch test first and introduce new products gradually.
The product has a PAO (Period After Opening) of 12 months. Once opened, it should be used within one year for optimal efficacy and safety. The 80ml jar typically lasts 3-6 months with regular use (2-3 times per week), as a little goes a long way with this product. Store in a cool, dry place and always use the spatula for hygienic application.
Verdict: The Abib Rice Probiotics Overnight Mask Barrier Jelly is an excellent overnight treatment for anyone seeking deep hydration and barrier repair without harsh ingredients. Its unique bouncy jelly texture delivers rich moisture while the proprietary Rice-Bran Probiotics complex works to strengthen and nourish the skin barrier overnight. The fragrance-free, minimal ingredient formula makes it suitable for sensitive skin, and users consistently praise the soft, plump, glowing results. The only significant drawback is that it's not fungal acne safe due to the fermented ingredients. If that's not a concern for you, this K-beauty gem delivers impressive results at a reasonable price point and earns a strong recommendation for dry, dehydrated, or barrier-compromised skin.

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.

EU Allergen-Free
EU Allergen-Free
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.
For more information regarding the EU's Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety, please visit their official website.
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.
Also note, the EU Allergen Free label is not personalized for your own allergies you may have and it does not constitute as medical advice.

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.
