ARIUL 7 Days Mask Green Tea S

Green tea is the ingredient most Korean brands reach for when the target is oily skin, and Ariul uses it at a serious concentration here: camellia sinensis leaf extract at 10,000 ppm, fifth in the ingredient list. This ARIUL 7days Mask is the sebum and texture entry in a range organised by concern.

What separates it from a plain green tea sheet mask is the betaine salicylate. That is a gentler BHA derived from betaine and salicylic acid, and it gives the mask a mild exfoliating action alongside the oil control. Dipotassium glycyrrhizate, allantoin and ceramide NP sit alongside it so the exfoliation does not come at the cost of comfort.

The sheet is TENCEL, made from eucalyptus fibre, and the formula is vegan. As a Korean green tea mask available in Canada, it does more than hydrate, which is worth knowing: because it contains a BHA, it should not be stacked with other exfoliants on the same day.

Ariul is a Korean skincare brand built around affordable everyday essentials, and the 7days Mask range is what it is known for. The concept is a mask for each concern rather than one mask for everything, with variants covering green tea, heartleaf, tea tree, aloe, lemon, lotus and calendula, each labelled with a letter that signals its purpose. All of them use the same TENCEL sheet made from eucalyptus fibre and the same short, vegan formulation approach. Within the ARIUL range available in Canada, these are the products most people start with.
