What is SKINFOOD Egg White Pore Mask?
It is a wash-off clay mask built for one job: making oily, congested skin feel properly clean and pores look tighter. The formula pairs egg white (albumen) extract with two oil-absorbing clays, kaolin and bentonite. It goes on as a smooth white cream, dries down to a powdery matte layer in about ten to fifteen minutes, and rinses away the excess sebum and grime it has lifted from the surface.
SKINFOOD is known for food-inspired formulas, and this one is among its longest-running bestsellers. A 120g tub gives plenty of uses because you only need a thin layer, once or twice a week.
Why egg white for pores?
Egg white has a long history in home beauty rituals as a tightening face mask. Albumin, the main protein in egg white, gives a firm, taut feel as it dries, which is why pores look smaller and skin feels smoother right after rinsing. The effect on pore size is temporary, but regular use keeps pores cleaner, which helps them look less obvious over time.
SKINFOOD Egg White Pore Mask benefits: what it does for your skin
Deep-clean feel for oily areas
Kaolin and bentonite soak up surface oil, so the T-zone feels fresh and matte after rinsing.
Tighter-looking pores
The albumen and clay combination leaves skin feeling taut, and pores on the nose and cheeks look visibly smaller for the rest of the day.
Help with blackheads
As the mask dries, it helps lift the oily build-up that collects in pores, which makes blackheads easier to manage between cleanses.
Smoother texture
Small amounts of glycolic, malic and tartaric acid in the formula support a softer, more even surface.

How to use SKINFOOD Egg White Pore Mask (morning and night)
Step by step
- Cleanse your face and pat it almost dry.
- Spread an even, thin layer with clean fingers or a mask brush. Keep away from the eye area, lips and around the mouth.
- Leave it to dry for about 10 to 15 minutes; it turns from creamy to powdery.
- Splash with lukewarm water and massage in small circles until the dried clay softens, then rinse it all away.
- Follow with toner, serum and moisturiser straight away.
Morning or evening?
Either works. In the morning it gives a matte, fresh base under makeup on oily days. In the evening, it pairs well with a calming step afterwards, such as the SKINFOOD Carrot Carotene Calming Water Pad, which helps skin feel settled after a clay mask.
How often
Once or twice a week is ideal for most oily and combination skin. Dry or sensitive skin should use it less often and keep the time on the shorter side.
Multi-masking tip
If your cheeks are dry but your T-zone is oily, apply this mask only on the nose, forehead and chin, and use a hydrating mask elsewhere. The SKINFOOD Rice Mask Wash Off works well on the drier areas.
Who is SKINFOOD Egg White Pore Mask best for?
It suits oily and combination skin, especially if your main concerns are a shiny T-zone, visible pores and blackheads on the nose. Normal skin can use it now and then for a deep clean. Dry and sensitive skin is better off with a creamier mask, because clay can leave skin feeling tight.
Is it good for acne-prone skin?
It can help keep oil in check, which many acne-prone people appreciate. Avoid spreading clay over open or inflamed spots, and cover any active pimples with a patch such as the COSRX Acne Pimple Master Patch instead. For a wider routine, see our oil control edit.
Using SKINFOOD Egg White Pore Mask in Pakistan's heat and humidity
Summer humidity makes skin produce more oil, and dust and sweat sit on top of it, so a weekly clay mask is a practical reset. During the hottest months, many oily-skinned people find twice a week keeps shine down noticeably. In dry winter weather, scale back to once a week and follow with a richer moisturiser so skin does not feel tight.
SKINFOOD Egg White Pore Mask results: how long until you see a difference?
You will see a smoother, more matte complexion and tighter-looking pores right after the first rinse. That immediate effect lasts for the day. For fewer blackheads and less day-to-day congestion, give it three to four weeks of regular weekly use alongside a good cleanser.
Does SKINFOOD Egg White Pore Mask have side effects?
Clay masks can leave skin feeling tight or dry, particularly if left on too long. Because it contains egg-derived albumen, anyone with an egg allergy should skip it. Alcohol and fragrance in the formula may sting very sensitive skin. Always patch-test first, and rinse off immediately if it burns.
Can you leave it on longer for better results?
No. Leaving a clay mask on well past the suggested time does not clean pores more; it simply dries the skin. Rinse once it is powdery.

Tips to get the most from your tub
Always scoop the mask out with a clean spatula or dry fingers so water does not get into the tub, and close the lid tightly after each use so the clay does not dry out. Store it somewhere cool and out of direct sun; a hot bathroom shelf in summer can change the texture. If the top layer ever thickens slightly, stir it gently before applying.
After rinsing, skin is at its most receptive, so it is the best moment for your hydrating toner and moisturiser. On mask days, skip scrubs and strong acid toners to avoid overdoing it.

Original vs fake SKINFOOD Egg White Pore Mask: how to check
On a genuine tub, the label is evenly printed with a batch code and expiry date, and the mask itself is bright white and smooth, drying evenly to a soft powder. A greyish colour, grainy lumps, a sour smell or a mask that never dries properly are all reasons to be suspicious.
