Axis-Y<\/strong><\/a> caught our attention when it became an overnight sensation on TikTok simply from digital word of mouth. At the time of writing, the brand has organically<\/u> reached a mamothian 87.3M views <\/strong>on TikTok despite having only just 13K followers and the brand is rapidly becoming a hot favourite amongst K-Beauty influencers.<\/p>\n

Browsing through their brand hashtag #AXISY<\/a>, we saw grids of video reviews from K-Beauty TikTokkers, showing off their mugwort mask and its clarifying benefits, and commending how great it is for acne and oily skin.<\/p>\n

Not gonna lie. <\/em>The creamy sage green mud mask looked absolutely yummy as we watched video after video of TikTokkers smoothing it over their skin. And after some digging, here\u2019s why…<\/p>\n

And most importantly, soothing Korean mugwort extract<\/em>. A rich 61% content of it, in fact.<\/strong> This mask is plump with all the good stuff.<\/p>\n

Your favourite oppa<\/em> has a backstory.
\nSo does this mugwort mask...<\/em>\uc9c4\uc9dc~~<\/p>\n

This is the first time we\u2019ve heard of a beauty product with a backstory, moreso one inspired by COVID-19.\u00a0 As the tale goes, AXIS-Y\u2019s mugwort mask was formulated to provide the community with a skincare product that fights COVID-19 skin troubles (like maskne) but also provides a moment of self-pampering against the pandemic\u2019s gloom.<\/p>\n

But then again, when it comes to beauty and skincare, novelty doesn\u2019t necessarily translate to effectiveness. It\u2019s results that speak…\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Time to test how well the mask works!<\/strong><\/h2>\n
