Garden of Wisdom's Uncork My Pores Cabernet Mask with Mandelic Acid 8% allows you to indulge your skin in the ultimate age-defying experience. Our Uncork My Pores Cabernet Mask, a powerful blend of nature’s most potent skincare ingredients. Infused with Cabernet Wine Extract, this mask is rich in resveratrol, a polyphenol known for its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps to combat environmental stressors, minimize signs of aging, and enhance skin radiance. Our formula is supercharged with Stabilized Oxygen, which stimulates collagen and elastin production, supporting skin’s natural renewal process. This oxygen infusion plumps fine lines, hydrates deeply, and promotes a youthful, healthy glow. Organic Aloe Vera Gel soothes irritation, promotes healing, and provides a cooling, calming effect while helping to inhibit the growth of unwanted bacteria. Mandelic Acid is a gentle yet effective exfoliant for those seeking a refined, smooth complexion, minimizing the appearance of pores, evening out skin tone, and fading hyperpigmentation. Meanwhile, Apple Pectin acts as a natural emulsifier and film-forming agent, ensuring a luxurious texture that locks in hydration and nutrients for a lasting glow.
Uncork the benefits of this antioxidant-rich mask and reveal a smoother, brighter, and more youthful complexion with every application!
Method of Application Apply a generous amount of this mask to your face and neck area (if desirable). Once dry, remove with a soft washcloth and tepid water.
Shelf Life and Storage Information for Our Products and Ingredients
Finished Products - generally don't need to be refrigerated as they are preserved, but you can refrigerate them to extend their shelf life. The shelf life for most products is 9-12 months. Vitamin C Serum(s) and VitaResurface products should continually be refrigerated to extend their shelf life. Sample Sizes - do have a shorter shelf life (generally 3-6 months), and items in jars can dry up quicker than this if the lid is not tightened well enough (Vitamin C Serums - use within 90 days).
Please Keep Your Products Out of Humidity, Heat, Direct Light and in a Dark Cabinet When Possible
Exfoliating Acid - products have a shelf life of 9-12 months. The only things we don't suggest refrigerating are the Mandelic Acid Serums or Salicylic Acid Serums, as they can crystallize in the refrigerator. If this happens, you can set the product into a hot water bath to see if the crystals will dissolve.
Additional Items That Require Refrigeration and/or Kept in the Dark
Hydrosols and Distillates - remove 1 ounce of hydrosol and add it to a separate, sterilized spray bottle and spritzer. Keep the larger bottle in the refrigerator. Carrier and Exotic Oils - generally refrigerate all carrier oils, although some very rich oils will solidify. This is fine. All you have to do is take the oil out, warm it up at room temperature, and it should liquefy. If not, set the bottle in a hot water bath and occasionally shake the bottle, which will hopefully turn into a liquid. Some oils, like coconut cream and jojoba oil, have a super long shelf life.
Refrigeration of The Following Ingredients is Not Necessary, But it Won't hurt
Essential Oils - essential oils are best stored in a cool, dark place. Co2 Extracts - these should continually be refrigerated. Butters - we suggest refrigerating our "skincare" butters. You can remove what you need and keep the rest in the fridge. Clays - keep in a dry, dark place. Shelf life is at least 2 years. Herbs All herbs <i>(whole or ground)</i> should be kept in a dark, cool, and dry location. Herbal (liquid) Extracts are created using grain alcohol. The alcohol pulls the constituents (properties) from each herb, root, trunk, leaf, and flower. They have a shelf life of 3-5 years. They can be stored in the refrigerator or a dark, dry place. Other Raw Ingredients - such as Sodium PCA, Honeyquat, Oat Beta Glucan, etc., will all have different shelf lives.

Uncork My Pores Cabernet Mask with Mandelic Acid 8%
I've used this on and off for years, and in the past few months have been using 2-3x per week. Whenever my skin is a little flaky or rough, 10 minutes of this mask makes me all silky and smooth. It also seems like it prepares my skin well for other products to sink in. I've gotten into a habit of a quick lukewarm water rinse in the morning (or a longer one if I've used retinol), then applying a layer of this for 20 minutes or so while I do household chores. I rinse it off in the shower and then continue my routine and it really seems to brighten and refine my skin. It's especially amazing for blocked pores or tiny blemishes - I feel like I can see an immediate difference after just a few minutes. Can't live without this one, can't live without GOW!!

I've been using Clear, Brighten, and Prevent Serum for at least a year, and it has made a significant difference. My redness and acne have decreased, and when I do develop a pimple, it clears up faster. My pores seem smaller, and my acne scars are lighter. I can't say it was this product alone that did the trick, but I've been on a long skin care journey, and this has become one of my absolute favorites.
Marlene

I love the high quality of GOW’s Argan oil. It’s so great to have a place to shop where I know I’m getting the best quality of ingredients every time.
Margie, thank you for your review.This is an oil we directly import from Morrocco ourseelves so there is
no middle man/woman/child. ;-) It is very nice to be able to have this confidence in our supplier.
I received this via GOW's free gift with purchase. I have mature combo skin (oily t-zone). I'm a long time GOW customer and wanted to change my routine. I was happy to see this promotes collagen production, exfoliation and saw another benefit was brightening. I sought out help and Jen quickly responded.
To those who've not used GOW's products, all I asked what was meant by brigthening. The level of detail Jen provided below only proves why I've used GOW for more than decade. I've noticed an improvement in my dark spots and how my face feels overall. I hope others chime in on this product. I was told it's discussed whether to keep it in the store. I say heck yes.
This is a great question, as "brightening" can mean a few different things in the context of skincare.
Based on the ingredients, brightening refers to a combination of actions that improve the skin's overall clarity, radiance, and evenness of tone.
Specifically, here is how the key ingredients contribute to this effect:
The Pumpkin Fruit Infusion contains natural vitamins and enzymes that gently exfoliate the skin. This process removes dull, dead skin cells, which in turn promotes cell turnover and reveals the newer, fresher skin underneath, resulting in a naturally brighter and more youthful complexion.
Skin White BLE, a plant-based brightening agent, is included specifically to address uneven skin tone. It works to reduce the appearance of dark spots and hyperpigmentation, leading to a more radiant and uniform complexion.
Pumpkin Seed Extract and Colloidal Gold deliver rich antioxidants that help repair and protect the skin from environmental stressors that can otherwise dull the skin or contribute to discoloration over time. The reduction in inflammation from the Colloidal Gold also supports a calmer, clearer skin appearance.
Licorice root extract helps inhibit the enzyme responsible for producing melanin (tyrosinase), thereby working to reduce the appearance of dark spots and promote a more uniform, brighter complexion. It also has soothing, anti-inflammatory properties.
In short, the term brightening in this serum encapsulates both the immediate visual improvement from gentle exfoliation and the long-term benefit of evening out skin tone and protecting against environmental dullness, all of which contribute to a glowing, healthy look.

Revival is exactly the right name! I actually use this on my entire body in between the days that I use the Bakuchiol body oil. My skin is sagging getting creepy and as I get older and I really believe this combination is working to help reduce it.
This magical potion also happens to make an incredible hair cream for my curly hair. My hair has never been this healthy! I use the lovely locks shampoo, no conditioner, and then the coconut revival cream as a leave-in conditioner/hair cream.
Margie
Thank you for your amazing review! We are so happy to hear that our Majik Coconut Revival Cream is truly living up to its name for you.

Thank you for sharing your positive experience with us.
We will always appreciate your support. Keep on glowing!
This cream is so healing to my skin. I have a sensitivity to citrus products and get a terrible rash and my face will itch. This is the only product that calms my skin.I apply this and within a few hours the rash has diminished and the itchiness is gone. The Calendula Blossom Cream has saved my skin.

Magic in a bottle!
This product has become a required staple in my skincare routine. I use it everyday on my very sensitive skin that is prone to redness and dryness. Not only is it extremely calming and soothing, but it also makes my skin look more plump and moisturized. I never want to be without this product; it has shot to the top of my "best skincare products of all time" list, next to the gentle cleansing gel. I highly recommend trying this if you have sensitive or aging skin that needs a boost of rejuvenation.

Great to have on hand if you use a lot of actives!
Sometimes, you just need a great soothing moisturizer, and this one is my new favorite! I recently graduated from using retinol to tretinoin and whoaaaaa boy. All my other creams had actives that were only making the tret burn worse. This was perfect for helping soothe my skin, and now I use it to buffer the tret!
