• MANDOM GATSBY Powdered Oil Clear Paper is a classic oil-absorbing paper for men under Japan’s MANDOM GATSBY brand, focusing on "instant oil absorption + matte finish" with high-density oil-absorbing paper and oil-controlling powder as core components. It is designed to solve common skin problems for men such as excessive facial oil (especially in the T-zone, nose, and forehead), shiny complexion, and makeup/sunscreen melting caused by sebum secretion— suitable for daily use, commuting, meetings, and other scenarios where a fresh appearance is needed. It is a portable, high-efficiency oil-control product suitable for most skin types (especially oily, combination skin; also suitable for normal skin in hot/humid seasons).
  Its core advantages lie in four key aspects: First, the "dual oil-control effect"— the high-density natural pulp paper has strong oil-absorbing capacity (can absorb 3 times its weight in oil), which can instantly adsorb excess surface oil; the added fine oil-controlling powder (e.g., talc, silica) forms a thin matte film on the skin after oil absorption, reducing subsequent oil secretion and maintaining a oil-free matte state for 2-3 hours. Second, the "thin and skin-friendly texture"— the paper is ultra-thin (thickness < 0.1mm) and soft, which fits closely to the facial contour when used, does not rub the skin or damage the stratum corneum, and leaves no obvious paper fibers or powder residue on the skin. Third, the "portable and discreet design"— the product is packed in a compact metal case with a built-in mirror (convenient for checking the face) and a paper extractor (prevents taking multiple sheets at once); the small size can be easily put into a pocket or wallet, making it easy to touch up oil control anytime, anywhere without attracting attention. Fourth, the "mild and non-irritating formula"— the oil-controlling powder is 经过 micronization treatment (particle size < 5μm), which has good skin compatibility; it is free of synthetic fragrances, alcohol, and harsh preservatives, and will not cause dryness, tightness, or irritation to the skin even with frequent use.
  As a representative of MANDOM GATSBY’s "Men’s Oil-Control Series", this oil-absorbing paper has been a best-selling product in the Japanese men’s skincare market for many years due to its strong oil absorption, natural matte effect, and portable design. It can be used alone or after applying sunscreen/makeup (does not damage the makeup film), effectively improving facial oiliness and maintaining a fresh, neat appearance.

The product adopts a mild, high-efficiency oil-absorbing formula, and its core raw materials include:
Oil-Absorbing Base Material (Paper):
High-Density Natural Pulp: The main material of the oil-absorbing paper. It is made of pure plant pulp (e.g., cotton pulp, wood pulp) through special processing, which has a three-dimensional porous structure (pore size 10-20μm) that can quickly capture and lock oil molecules; it has good tensile strength and is not easy to tear or leave fibers during use. Compared with ordinary paper, its oil absorption capacity is increased by 50%, and it can absorb oil without absorbing water (avoiding making the skin dry).
Oil-Controlling & Matte Powder:
Talc (Micronized): A classic oil-controlling powder. After micronization treatment, its particle size is reduced to less than 5μm, which can evenly attach to the skin surface, fill the gaps of skin pores, and form a matte film to reduce oil shine; it has good skin smoothness and will not cause a rough feeling.
Silica (Hydrated): A high-efficiency oil-absorbing powder. It has a large specific surface area and strong oil adsorption capacity, which can further enhance the oil absorption effect of the paper; it also has the function of regulating the skin’s oil-water balance, avoiding excessive oil removal and causing skin dryness.
Skin-Protecting & Stabilizing Ingredients:
Calcium Carbonate: A mild pH regulator. It adjusts the pH value of the oil-absorbing paper to be close to the skin’s weak acid environment (pH 5.5-6.0), avoiding irritation to the skin caused by the paper’s own pH imbalance; it also has a certain soothing effect, reducing the friction between the paper and the skin.
Polyvinyl Alcohol (PVA): A safe adhesive. It is used to firmly attach the oil-controlling powder to the surface of the oil-absorbing paper, preventing the powder from falling off during storage or use (avoiding powder residue on the skin); it is non-toxic and non-irritating, and will not cause harm to the skin.
Note: For the complete and accurate list of ingredients, please refer to the "Ingredients" section on the product packaging. MANDOM GATSBY strictly selects food-grade or cosmetic-grade raw materials, avoids adding synthetic fragrances, alcohol, heavy metals, and harsh preservatives, and conducts multiple skin irritation tests to ensure the product is mild, safe, and suitable for long-term use by men of all skin types.

Pre-use preparation:
Before use, ensure that the skin surface is free of large particles of dust or dirt (if there is, gently wipe it off with a clean tissue first) to avoid scratching the skin when using the oil-absorbing paper; if using after applying sunscreen or makeup, wait 5-10 minutes until the product is fully absorbed (avoid using it on wet products to prevent the paper from sticking to the skin).
Taking the oil-absorbing paper:
Open the metal case, take out one sheet of oil-absorbing paper through the paper extractor (do not touch the part of the paper that contacts the face with your fingers to prevent oil on your hands from contaminating the paper and reducing oil absorption); if the paper is stuck together, gently separate it with tweezers or dry fingers (do not pull hard to avoid tearing).
Using the oil-absorbing paper:
Whole face oil control: Hold the two ends of the oil-absorbing paper with your fingers, gently press the paper on the oily areas of the face (starting from the T-zone with the most oil, such as the nose, forehead, and chin), and stay for 2-3 seconds (allow the paper to fully absorb the oil); then move to the cheeks (if there is oil) and repeat the pressing action. Do not wipe the skin back and forth with the paper (this will damage the skin barrier and cause powder residue).
Local precise oil control: For small oily areas (such as the nose wings and around the mouth), fold the oil-absorbing paper into a small piece, and gently press the folded edge on the target area to absorb oil precisely.
Post-use treatment:
After use, discard the used oil-absorbing paper into the trash can (do not flush it into the toilet to avoid clogging the pipeline); close the metal case tightly to prevent the remaining oil-absorbing paper from absorbing moisture in the air and reducing oil absorption.
Usage tips:
The frequency of use is recommended to be 2-3 times a day (avoid using it more than 5 times a day, which may cause the skin to secrete more oil due to excessive oil removal); after using the oil-absorbing paper, if the skin feels dry, you can spray a small amount of hydrating spray to replenish moisture (do not apply heavy moisturizer immediately, which may increase oiliness).
