Witch hazel extract - astringent
Pulsatilla Koreana extract - anti-inflammatory
Honey extract - soothing and anti-bacterial

I like pore caring masks and it’s somewhat hard to find ones without drying alcohols. So I was pleasantly surprised that this Oka mask doesn’t contain alcohol. Some people can react poorly to witch hazel, but it has always been good to my skin (a long time ago I used to buy alcohol-free witch hazel toner).
The mask is soft and smells faintly of tea tree oil (which I like). The fit on the lower half of my face didn’t work too well - that part was too wide and the mouth opening too low, so it was a challenge to keep the product off my upper lip (I definitely don’t want astringents on my lips). You can also see how poorly it fits around the nose/eyes.
My skin was hydrated and plump afterwards. I didn’t notice any significant benefits to the pores or any changes in pore appearance. It’s not awful but also not a win for me, I’m not going to repurchase it.
