"I formulated this mask for patients who want a single weekly reset for dull, congested skin. Salicylic and mandelic acids exfoliate while niacinamide and aloe refine and soothe, leaving skin smoother and brighter."
What's Inside
Product Details
A targeted exfoliating scrub and treatment mask formulated by Dr. P. Alexander Ataii based on 20+ years of helping patients smooth texture, decongest pores, and reveal brighter skin at Laser Clinique San Diego.
Dr. P. Alexander Ataii built Ataii Aesthetic MD on a single premise: the same clinical-grade formulas that deliver results in his San Diego med spa should be accessible to everyone: not just those who can afford in-clinic treatments.
His father was a pioneering pharmacist and chemist who developed regenerative skincare formulas in the 1960s, work that earned international recognition and helped a Hollywood actress restore her complexion. Dr. Ataii refined and modernized that legacy through two decades of clinical practice.
This Pore Refining Mask is the weekly exfoliating treatment Dr. Ataii reaches for at Laser Clinique San Diego for patients with dull, congested skin, a scrub and mask in one his patients take home to smooth texture, decongest pores, and reveal brighter, more youthful-looking skin.

→

Get The Most From It
Refining Protocol
A simple protocol to smooth texture and refine pores over the weeks ahead.
1
Week 1
Start once weekly
Introduce slowly with one gentle treatment so skin adjusts comfortably.
2
Weeks 2 to 4
Build to twice weekly
If skin feels comfortable, use up to twice a week for steady results.
3
Congested Areas
Focus on the T-zone
Spend extra time massaging the nose, chin, and forehead.
4
Long-Term
Use consistently 8+ weeks
Smoothness and clarity are cumulative, refined skin builds over time.
Pro tip from Dr. Ataii:Always follow your mask with hydration, and wear SPF the next morning. Freshly exfoliated skin is more sensitive to the sun.

Niacinamide

Common Questions
Frequently Asked
For most skin types, once or twice a week is ideal. If your skin is new to exfoliating actives, start with one treatment a week for the first few weeks, then build up if your skin stays comfortable. It is a treatment, so there is no need to use it daily.
Yes, when used gently. It pairs exfoliating acids with soothing aloe to help keep skin comfortable. If your skin is reactive, start with one short treatment a week, massage lightly, and reduce frequency if you notice any irritation.
Both. Massage it over damp skin in small circles to use it as an exfoliating scrub, then leave it on for 5 to 10 minutes as a treatment mask before rinsing. You get the polishing benefit and the deeper treatment in one step.
Yes. After rinsing, follow with your serum and moisturizer to replenish freshly exfoliated skin. Because this already exfoliates, avoid using other strong acids or retinoids on the same night, and always wear SPF the next morning.
Skin often looks smoother and brighter right after the first use. With consistent weekly use, refined pores, smoother texture, and a more even, youthful-looking glow typically become more noticeable over 4 to 8 weeks.
No. The exfoliating particles are designed to be gentle, and the mandelic and salicylic acids do much of the work chemically. Use light pressure and let the actives lift away dead skin rather than scrubbing hard.
