Cleansing is not clearing your skin. Even after a thorough wash, leftover sunscreen, oil, dead skin cells and daily product residue can remain on the surface. This invisible layer can reduce how well moisturiser applies or absorbs.
AHAs work on the skin surface for visible brightening. BHAs are oil-soluble and help exfoliate within pore lining areas. Masance uses both, no scrubbing required.
Physically buffs away surface buildup using scrubs or a brush. Can cause micro-tears and irritation when used too aggressively. Many people find chemical exfoliation a more even alternative to harsh scrubs.

The Masance Facial Detox Pads use chemical exfoliation. A triple-acid blend of Salicylic Acid (2%, BHA), Glycolic Acid (1%, AHA) and Lactic Acid to help pores look clearer while leaving skin feeling smoother and more refined in a single step.
Dead skin cells sit on the surface and scatter light unevenly, making skin look dull, flat and tired no matter how much moisturiser you apply. Regular exfoliation lifts that layer away, revealing skin that looks fresher, more awake and visibly brighter.
Rough, bumpy texture is often just surface buildup. Dried product residue, dead skin and excess oil sitting on top of otherwise healthy skin. Exfoliating clears this away, and the difference in how smooth your skin feels can usually be noticed within a few uses.
If your foundation looks patchy by midday, surface buildup is often the reason. Makeup and products both cling to rough, uneven texture and dry patches. A regular exfoliation step creates a visibly smoother, more even base, so everything you put on afterward applies more evenly too.
Pore size cannot be changed permanently, but congested pores filled with oil and dead skin look noticeably larger than clear ones. Removing that buildup regularly helps pores appear smaller, cleaner and less visible overall.
Dead skin buildup settles into fine lines and makes them look deeper and more defined. Removing that surface layer helps skin look smoother, with lines appearing softer and less noticeable without any dramatic actives required.
Surface buildup can contribute to uneven-looking tone. Regular, consistent exfoliation helps skin look more balanced, clearer and more even over time.
| Skin Type | Frequency |
|---|---|
| Combination | 1-3x per week |
| Oily or Congested | 2-3x per week |
| Normal or Balanced | 1-2x per week |
| Dry or Sensitive | Once per week |
| New to Exfoliation | Start once, build slowly |
Over-exfoliating can lead to redness, dryness or irritation. 1 to 3 times a week is the right range for most people.
After exfoliation, skin may feel drier and benefit from hydration. Hydration after exfoliation is essential. It is what makes the whole routine work. And yes, oily skin needs it too.
Plump, smooth, bouncy and well nourished. Cells are full of water, the barrier is intact and skin looks healthy and even.
Dull, rough, flaky and tight. Fine lines look more pronounced, pores appear larger and skin feels uncomfortable even if it is also oily.

Why hydration matters after exfoliation. Applying moisturiser straight after helps skin feel more comfortable and look more balanced, hydrated and healthy.
Your skin barrier is made of water and oil-loving molecules that work together to hold moisture in. When it feels balanced, skin looks smooth, feels comfortable and responds well to products. When it feels out of balance, skin can feel tight, rough or reactive.
Humectants are water-loving ingredients that draw moisture toward the skin. The Masance Gel-Cream contains Glycerin, Panthenol and Niacinamide — three well-known moisturising ingredients that work together to help skin feel more hydrated and comfortable throughout the day.
Lipids are the oil-based components of the skin barrier that help stop moisture escaping. Ceramides make up around 50% of the skin's natural barrier lipids. The Masance Gel-Cream includes a full Ceramide complex (NP, AP, EOP), Cholesterol and Squalane — skin-identical lipids that help skin feel smoother, softer and more comfortable.
Yes. Oil and water are completely different things. Oily skin produces excess sebum but can still be lacking in water, leaving it feeling tight, looking dull and appearing shiny in a flat, dehydrated way rather than a healthy glow. Some people find dehydrated oily skin can appear oilier.
Skin feels tight after cleansing. Fine lines look more pronounced than usual. Skin looks dull even after exfoliating. Makeup does not sit evenly. Products feel like they absorb instantly but skin still feels uncomfortable. These are all common signs worth addressing with a consistent hydrating step.
Oily skin does not need moisturiser. This is one of the most common skincare mistakes. Some people notice increased shine when skin feels dehydrated. The Masance Gel-Cream is lightweight, fast-absorbing and designed not to feel heavy or greasy.
