A credible oil-balancing clay mask with a verified APIVITA INCI, best suited to oily or acne-prone skin that tolerates fragrance and some drying potential. The formula has useful cleansing and soothing components, but the fragrance, alcohol, and essential oil make it a less comfortable choice for sensitive skin.
Scored for skin — based on what its ingredients contribute.
What it may help with
Whether the ingredient helps increase the skin’s water content — humectants that attract water, ingredients that reduce water loss, or ones that make skin feel less dry.
From Panthenol, Sunflower Oil, Pentylene Glycol, Hydrogenated Olive Oil Unsaponifiables
Whether it can calm the skin — linked to less redness, irritation, discomfort, or visible reactivity.
From Propolis Extract, Panthenol, Helichrysum Italicum Extract, Sunflower Oil
Whether it can improve smoothness and surface texture — roughness, flaking, clogged pores, or unevenness. Exfoliating acids, retinoids, and smoothing moisturizers may score here.
From Citric Acid, Panthenol, Helichrysum Italicum Extract, Sunflower Oil
Whether it can reduce excess sebum, shine, or greasiness — absorbents, sebum-regulating ingredients, and some acne actives.
From Illite, Kaolin, Charcoal Powder, Montmorillonite
Whether it can help visible signs of aging — fine lines, wrinkles, loss of firmness, or photoaging.
From Tocopherol, Tocopheryl Acetate, Rosa Canina Fruit Extract, Hydroxyacetophenone
Things to watch
Risk of allergic contact dermatitis or immune-based reactions. Fragrance allergens, preservatives, botanicals, and some dyes may score here.
From Citronellol, Fragrance, Hydroxycitronellal, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil
Whether it can make skin more sensitive to sunlight, raising the risk of sunburn or UV-related irritation. Relevant for some exfoliating acids, retinoids, and certain plant-derived ingredients.
Risk of short-term irritation — stinging, burning, dryness, redness, or discomfort. Common for strong actives, acids, retinoids, fragrances, and harsh surfactants.
From Alcohol, Citrus Limon (Lemon) Peel Oil, Fragrance, Citric Acid
Whether it can weaken or damage the skin barrier — harsh surfactants, strong exfoliants, high alcohol content, or overuse-prone actives.
From Alcohol, Citric Acid, Fragrance
Whether it may sting or irritate around the eyes. Relevant for sunscreens, fragrances, acids, surfactants, and volatile ingredients.

This is a rinse-off facial mask for oily, acne-prone skin, confirmed by APIVITA's product page and ingredient list. The formula uses clay, charcoal, propolis, panthenol, and vitamin E for oil control and cleansing, but it also includes alcohol, lemon essential oil, and fragrance allergens, which may limit suitability for sensitive skin. The online evidence matches the exact APIVITA variant and confirms the full INCI list.
Summarised from public reviews across the web — subjective experience, not our formula assessment.
Real user feedback found online generally describes the mask as cleansing and oil-controlling, with some users noting a clean feel after rinsing, while others report that APIVITA propolis products can be irritating for reactive skin.
