Purifying Mask

When shine gets ahead of you, pores become more visible and spots start to appear, you don't need to “dry out” your face; you need to restore its balance. The Purifying Mask by SEGLE Biotech is a deep-cleansing treatment with seaweed and white smectite clays that unclogs pores, regulates excess sebum and mattifies, while keeping the skin hydrated, comfortable and full of vitality.

Smart purification: deep cleansing without drying

Formulated for normal, combination, oily and acne-prone skin, this mask works like a targeted detox: it absorbs excess oil and toxins, dislodges the dirt built up in pores and reduces shine, while providing water and comfort thanks to its hydrating base and the presence of glycerin. The result is cleaner, more matte, more even skin that never feels tight.

• Deep cleansing: helps unclog pores and reduce the appearance of blackheads and spots.
• Mattifying effect: controls shine and leaves a visibly more even finish.
• Balance and hydration: prevents a dry feel thanks to humectant actives.
• Prepped skin: optimises the penetration and effectiveness of the treatments that follow.

Marine biotechnology: the remineralising power of seaweed

At the heart of the formula is a complex of three marine algae (Spirulina, Chlorella and Fucus) that provide minerals, micronutrients and a powerful protective action against environmental stress and blue light. Your skin feels stronger and more balanced, with a visibly healthier tone.

Spirulina: defence against blue light and digital ageing

Spirulina is a microalga extraordinarily rich in proteins, vitamins and repairing enzymes, able to protect DNA against damage caused by blue light from screens and the sun.

• Protects against blue light and digital stress, one of the new ageing factors.
• Neutralises free radicals and helps prevent photoageing.
• Soothes irritation and reduces inflammation in reactive or acne-prone skin.
• Provides energy and vitality, leaving the skin looking more rested.

Fucus vesiculosus: comfort, softness and protection

Fucus extract, from a seaweed rich in mucilage and minerals, acts as an emollient veil that brings hydration and comfort to skin that has just been deep-cleansed.

• Softens and comforts sensitive or irritated skin.
• Helps reduce inflammation and strengthens resistance to environmental stress.
• Helps keep the skin hydrated and protected after rinsing.

Chlorella vulgaris: support for redness, acne and rosacea

The microalga Chlorella vulgaris is particularly suited to skin prone to redness, acne or rosacea, thanks to its soothing and regulating action.

• Helps reduce redness, especially on the nose and cheeks.
• Improves the look of skin with acne or rosacea, giving a more even tone.
• Complements the sebum-regulating action of the clays without compromising comfort.

White smectite clays: clean pores, matte finish

The selected white smectite clays act like a magnet for impurities: they absorb sebum and toxins from the skin's surface while releasing minerals that are beneficial for the skin.

• Help unclog pores and minimise their appearance.
• Absorb excess oil, leaving a matte, even finish.
• Provide minerals that help keep the skin remineralised and balanced.

Glycerin: hydration that balances the formula

Glycerin, a classic, highly tolerated humectant, ensures that the purifying phase does not lead to dehydration.

• Attracts and holds water in the skin, providing instant, long-lasting hydration.
• Helps keep the skin soft, supple and elastic.
• Strengthens the barrier function, preventing a tight feeling after the mask.

Application ritual: the detox moment of your week

Use the Purifying Mask by SEGLE Biotech 1–2 times a week in your night routine. After cleansing (ideally a double cleanse if you wear makeup or sunscreen), apply an even layer to the face and neck, avoiding the eye area.

Leave it on for about 10 minutes and enjoy its purifying and mattifying effect. If you notice it starting to dry, you can lightly dampen the skin with water or a mist to maintain comfort and make removal gentler. Rinse with plenty of lukewarm water and pat your face dry. Continue with your usual eye cream, serum and cream: your skin, now purified and remineralised, will be ready to make the most of every active.

To boost its benefits, you can precede it with a gentle mechanical exfoliation using SEGLE's Gentle Volcanic Exfoliating Mask: by removing dead cells, the seaweed and clays act more precisely, and the skin looks even more refined and radiant.

Skin type and when to use

This mask is designed for normal, combination, oily or acne-prone skin looking to control shine and pores without giving up hydration. It can be used on young and mature skin, as a weekly purifying treatment or as an occasional “reset” during times of stress, pollution or bouts of shine. For very dry or extremely sensitive skin, it is advisable to space out its use and always combine it with highly hydrating and soothing treatments.
