Skin Care Review: Going Green with Chlorophyll by Mustus
I have always been on the search for the most effective skin care for my dull and dry skin. However, scanning through the ingredients is overwhelming in itself. Moreover, with the countless skin care products in the market, it’s easy to just be swayed with what is on trend, and what works for others.
On my searching journey, I came across Mustus, which is a Korean brand, which means fresh in Latin. I was interested with the brand’s inspiration with its products as it is rooted with nature, specifically how plants protect themselves from pests. This “self-vitality” process of plants became Mustus’ approach in designing and formulating their products. Since the turnover of the human skin is every 28 days, Mustus’ products focus on helping the skin breathe from the pollution and dirt from the environment.
Plants are enough.
Mustus
Mustus believes that going green is the therapy for troubled skin. Hence, I tried its products which has chlorophyll as its main ingredient for three (3) weeks, and I must say that being a skin vegetarian has brought drastic improvement on my skin. Particuarly, I tried the Chlo Gauze Peeling Pad, Chlo Ampoule and Chlo Gel Cream and I’m very much excited to share my experience with you.
Mustus Chlo Gauze Peeling Pad
This product claims to eliminate old keratin and impurities with mild peeling, while smoothing out skin texture. It claims to bring about smooth, clear and healthy skin through eliminating old dead skin cell and skin wastes. It contains the following major ingredients:
- Chlorophyll
Chlorophyll is the green pigment present in plants, and it absorbs light to permit photosynthesis. When used on the skin, chlorophyll has a detoxifying effect, fights acne and clears breakout because of its amazing germ killing action. It enhances wound healing and it has natural anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties.
- PHA (Poly Hydroxy Acids)
PHA is a type of chemical exfoliant packed with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits properties which is advisable for sensitive skin. It causes less irritation than AHA and BHA because it has relatively larger molecular size.

Verdict: I recommend this product!
These three products by Mustus were very much loved by my dry and sensitive skin. Also, plus points for its Eco-friendly packaging. The brand used soy ink for the prints! However, before I dive into the details why I recommend this, I just want to share first how I used the products on my face. The manner of using these products is as follows:
- Gauze Peeling Pad – at night only | every other day
- Ampoule – at night only | every day
- Gel Cream – at night only | every day
For three weeks that I have used the Chlo Gauze Peeling Pad, Chlo Ampoule and Chlo Gel Cream, the following are my observations:
- I never experienced any dry patches
- My skin less dull-looking and more vibrant.
- Furthermore, I also observed that my pimple marks have lightened faster.
- The textures on my nose and chin were treated, making my skin smooth and supple.
- Lastly, the finish of my make-up is far better than before.
You may purchase these three products as a set from my Charis shop for Php 1,540.00.
