Allow us to introduce The Klog’s Sweet Potato BHA Clay Mask, a velvety-textured rinse-off mask featuring its star ingredient, the Korean Sweet Potato, the perfect new addition to your next Girls Night In! 

This multitasking, vegan formula offers gentle exfoliation and deep hydration helping you achieve soft, supple skin while effectively unclogging pores, leaving your skin more radiant. Mainly enjoyed roasted or steamed, the Korean sweet potato is known for its purple flesh and subtly sweet flavor. It is packed with antioxidants, heart-healthy minerals, and immune-boosting vitamins.

The spotlight here belongs to the sweet potato’s antioxidants, including beta-carotene and carotenoids, which work harmoniously with vitamin E to provide a variety of skin solutions. This duo not only slows down the aging process but also slows down harmful cell oxidation. Anthocyanins aid in preventing cell damage and stimulating cell production. The result? Enhanced skin elasticity  resulting in that youthful glow. The vitamin C it contains is a true multitasker. It not only brightens by regulating the production of melanin but also promotes collagen production. This dual-action process keeps your skin looking luminous while providing a protective shield against external aggressors.

Having introduced our star ingredient, let’s explore the other powerhouse components that make up this mask.

Sweet Potato BHA Clay Mask $19

Niacinamide: Shrinks the appearance of large pores, evens out skin tone, and smooths away fine lines, all while reinforcing the skin’s protective barrier.

Aloe Extract: Provides soothing relief and deep hydration, making it a safe choice for sensitive skin.

Pineapple Extract: Boasting a proteolytic enzyme, pineapple extract partners with the sweet potato to normalize your skin turnover cycle. 

Salicylic Acid:  Removes impurities like blackheads and whiteheads, all while harnessing anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties. Great for those dealing with acne.

How To Use: Apply a thick, even layer to clean, dry skin avoiding the eye and lip areas. Leave on for 10-15 minutes and rinse clean with lukewarm water. For best results, use twice a week.

Whether you’re pampering yourself, your friends or prepping for a festive Friendsgiving, this mask adds a touch of skincare luxury to the mix. Think of it as the perfect treat for your skin during a night in with friends. And speaking of Friendsgiving desserts, why not bring our Sweet Potato BHA Clay Mask as the ultimate skin treat?

Calling all skincare lovers who adore our Original Soft Shield Pimple Patch – your next obsession has arrived! 

Let’s face it, battling stubborn post-pimple pigmentation marks can be frustrating. But worry not, because we’ve got your back (and your face) covered! Meet The Klog Soft Shield Pigment Patch, the ultimate sidekick for tackling post-pimple pigmentation and dark spots. A near-invisible hydrocolloid patch infused with Tranexamic Acid & Allium Cepa extract that serves as a protective covering and targeted treatment for post-pimple pigmentation and dark spots. Made from the same 100% vegan hydrocolloid as our original patches with a beveled edge to keep patches secured while they move with your skin, and adhesive enough to stay put on oily skin & overnight.

Now that you’ve met our newest patch, let’s plunge into the remarkable benefits and ingredients that truly sets it apart.

100% Vegan Hydrocolloid allows for a barely visible patch while effectively absorbing impurities and secretions beneath the skin’s surface. 

Tranexamic Acid is renowned for its gentle yet effective ability to fade pigmentation.

Allium Cepa Extract is recognized for its proven capability to visibly reduce the appearance of scars.

We didn’t just stop at the lab coats – we sent our patches out into the real world and let them mingle with everyday people. The verdict? Visibly reduced pigmentation and scarring in just 4 weeks!

How To Use: Apply patches towards the tail end of an active breakout and for up to four weeks, effectively targeting post-pimple pigmentation in its tracks. Remove the patches after 8-12 hours.

The Soft Shield Pimple Patch vs. Soft Shield Pigment Patch: A Comparison

Both share a beveled edge and strong adherence to fit facial contours. These patches discreetly absorb impurities while preventing picking, thus aiding the skin’s natural healing process. The Soft Shield Pimple Patch, tailored for active breakouts, accelerates recovery, while the Soft Shield Pigment Patch, formulated with tranexamic acid and Allium cepa extract, targets post-pimple pigmentation and scars. The Pigment Patch’s tranexamic acid fades pigmentation, and Allium cepa extract minimizes scar appearance. Choose the Pimple Patch during breakouts and the Pigment Patch for post-pimple care.

Launch by launch, the klog skin care line has expanded to develop a full routine of products… from a Double-cleansing Regimen and Jelly Toner, to treating the skin with our Snail Mucin Energy Essence and Soft Shield Pimple Patches. Friendly and dependable products, reliable ingredients and acne-focused solutions. Now, the klog is bringing a long-awaited addition to the team.

Introducing the klog Sebum Balancing Gel Moisturizer ($17)! An ultra-lightweight gel moisturizer concentrated with ceramides, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory ingredients to help calm, restore, and balance sensitive or stressed skin. 

If you’re asking yourself—what is “sebum” anyway? You’re not the only one. Here’s a quick breakdown:

• Sebum is a component of oil…a specific type made up of fatty acids, waxes, sugars, and other natural chemicals. It’s produced in the sebaceous glands of your skin, which are …everywhere.
• Sebum is an important component of the skin barrier — and it can become unbalanced for a variety of reasons like hormones, pollution of the skin, or diet and dehydration.
• If your skin has too much sebum, it can become oily and produce acne. If your skin has too little, it can be dry.

To achieve the goal of maintaining the balance of sebum within your skin barrier, products with specific ingredients can target this task. And the new klog gel moisturizer has got ‘em all. With nourishing and restoring ingredients like zinc, squalane, nettle leaf extract and pineapple extract, it not only delivers hydration, but balances and soothes unstable skin.  It’s safe for all skin types, and specifically targets blemish-prone skin. 

The klog is formulated to be the friendly skin care that’s there for you when all else seems out of balance. And this moisturizer is an extension of that dependability. Having a stress breakout? Ate too much greasy food this weekend? This balancing moisturizer is here to mellow you out. 

When the klog says affordable, they mean it. 

At the affordable price of $17, this gel moisturizer is the key to a balanced routine (and…a balanced life $$$). Because of these accessible price points, the entire routine—every product sold by the klog— can be on your bathroom counter, improving your skin every day for LESS than $100 dollars. Seven products, a full routine, for only $99 dollars…wow.

They say that the best skincare routine is the one that you look forward to following every day. After all, when skincare is fun and exciting you’re way more likely to stick with a regimen and carve out proper space for those daily self-care moments. 

I definitely subscribe to the theory, and I think that’s partly why I’m so amped about The Klog’s recent launch of three new products—Plant-Rich Antioxidant Pore Cleansing Oil, Double Action Exfoliating Cleanser, Hydra Shield Anti-Pollution Jelly Toner. Meant to be used together or on their own, this multi-functional trio covers all your bases while gifting a slew of sensorial experiences. 

You get a silky slip from the oil cleanser, a literal cooling sensation from the creamy exfoliating cleanser, and a bouncy, ultra-hydrating watery texture from the toner. I’ve made this trio my go-to clean skin routine for spring and summer and definitely won’t be looking back. If you’re keen on trying it yourself, just follow these three simple steps. 

By the way,  The Klog line was born out of trying to find acne-focused solutions. The brand’s first product was the Soft Shield Pimple Patch, which is now a best-seller on Soko Glam. This minimalist skincare routine is all about making life easier—and skin clearer—for those with acne-concerns, as well.  

Step One: Plant-Rich Antioxidant Pore Cleansing Oil

I’ve been a fan of the double cleanse method for years and there’s zero chance of me changing course now! The Klog’s Plant-Rich Antioxidant Pore Cleansing Oil is a fine, lightweight oil that’s perfect for my sensitive, blemish-prone skin. Plus, it does a bangup job of nixing oil, dirt, and all the products I applied during my previous skincare sesh, including moisturizer residue, sunscreen, and makeup. 

If you’re wondering whether the oils will be too heavy for your skin, I promise you they aren’t! It’s a fusion of sea buckthorn, jojoba oil, sweet almond, and grapeseed oils, which means the formula is incredibly lightweight. Basically, you get to enjoy the deep cleansing benefits and the right dose of hydration without worrying about breakouts or a greasy feel. 

To use: Apply a dime-sized amount to dry skin, massage gently in small circles, then rinse away. The oil grabs onto all the gunk on your skin and, once water is added, sends it all down the drain. 

Step Two: Double Action Exfoliating Cleanser

After rinsing the cleansing oil, it’s time to follow up with your second cleanser. When I tell you that the Double Action Exfoliating Cleanser has a cooling sensation, I’m not joking! It’s not an overwhelmingly “cold” feel, but rather has a refreshing effect that’s perfect for these upcoming warmer months. (And as someone who lives in the hot desert, I’m especially loving it!). 

What makes it a “double action” cleanser? So glad you asked. This creamy formula not only cleanses your skin, but it’s made with lactic acid, an alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) that exfoliates your skin. 

“Lactic acid is a common ingredient in skin care products due its gentle exfoliating effect and its ability to mobilize cell turnover creating more vibrant and thicker skin over time,” says Dr. Nava Greenfield, board-certified dermatologist at Schweiger Dermatology Group in New York City. “As an added bonus, lactic acid works well with sensitive skin types.”

In addition to lactic acid, the Double Action Exfoliating Cleanser contains willow bark to promote a clearer-looking complexion while balancing oil production.

To use: Apply to damp skin, massage in gentle circles. For an extra cooling sensation, leave it on for 15 seconds. Then rinse with warm water before gently patting dry.

Step Three: Hydra Shield Anti-Pollution Jelly Toner

With your double cleanse complete, it’s time to hydrate! The Hydra Shield Anti-Pollution Jelly Toner is the perfect follow up. It has a juicy, bouncy, serum-like texture that instantly hydrates your skin and leaves it feeling soft and supple. 

I also love that it’s formulated with 3% niacinamide, peptides, LHA, red clover, and snow mushroom, which help strengthen skin, brighten my complexion, and protect against environmental pollutants that can lead to premature signs of aging. 

“Pollution and environmental toxins are not easily seen with a naked eye because the particles may be microscopic. However, just as UV rays can cause damage to the DNA in skin cells, environmental toxins may have a detrimental effect on skin cells and speed up the aging process,” notes Dr. Greenfield.

She adds that it’s theorized that niacinamide has the ability to transform into “essential enzymes,” which help your cells fix the damage. The addition of antioxidants in this formula also helps protect against free radicals while peptides promote a stronger skin barrier. 

To use: Push down once on the dispenser for the perfect dose of jelly toner. Gently press it onto your skin and enjoy the instant hydration.

You can definitely get away with following these three steps—plus a sunscreen on top—during the hot and humid months. If you wanted to, though, you could follow up with The Klog’s Snail Mucin Energy Essence, $17, which offers an extra boost of lightweight moisture for those with dry skin types or people in drier climates. 

While carving out some proper “me time” for a luxurious 10-step step skincare routine is so nice, it’s not always feasible. This simplified clean skin routine is a good option for those who want to minimize their regimen.
