VT Reedle Shot EX Cica Modeling Pack

A modeling pack is the rubber mask you get in a Korean spa: a powder you mix with water that sets into a firm, peelable layer over the face. VT brings its CICA REEDLE technology to that format in a 25 g single-use cup, and the Cica version is the comfort-focused option in a range of four. 

The plant side of this variant is the most thorough in the range. Centella Asiatica leaf and stem powder sits alongside Centella Asiatica extract and all four of its derived compounds, with houttuynia cordata powder, spirulina platensis powder, green tea leaf powder, licorice root powder and aloe. The base is 100% American diatomaceous earth with glucose, algin and calcium sulfate, which is what allows the mixture to set. The mask cools noticeably as it firms and peels away in one piece.

This suits skin that feels warm or reactive. Note it contains milk exosomes and whey filtrate, so it is not suitable if you avoid dairy, and propolis, so it is not vegan.
