My Scheming Extra Ampoule Sheet Mask is a mask with 117 ingredients. It is rated "use caution" in pregnancy because it contains ALPHA-ARBUTIN; ROSMARINUS OFFICINALIS (ROSEMARY) LEAF OIL, SALVIA SCLAREA (CLARY) OIL, SALVIA SCLAREA (CLARY) EXTRACT. Common allergens: fragrance, essential oils, alcohol denat., niacinamide.
Sensitive skin: fragrance, essential oils, alcohol denat., niacinamide Why?
- fragrance: Fragrance or parfum, and scent ingredients listed by name, such as linalool and limonene. The most common cause of skincare allergies; worth avoiding if you have eczema, rosacea, or very sensitive skin.
- essential oils: Plant oils such as tea tree, lavender, citrus peel, and peppermint. Natural, but a common cause of irritation and allergies, especially on sensitive or broken skin.
- alcohol denat.: Denatured alcohol, which helps products feel light and dry fast but can dry out or sting dry and sensitive skin. Fatty alcohols like cetyl alcohol are different and aren't flagged.
- niacinamide: A popular, well-tolerated ingredient that can cause redness or flushing for a few people, especially at high strengths.
These flags don't affect the pregnancy rating. They point out the ingredients most likely to make skincare sting, itch, or cause a rash. If your skin is sensitive, or one of them has bothered you before, you may want to skip the product or patch-test it first. Most people use them without a problem.

Is My Scheming Extra Ampoule Sheet Mask safe to use during pregnancy?
Jouaxia rates My Scheming Extra Ampoule Sheet Mask "Use caution" for pregnancy because it contains ALPHA-ARBUTIN. Arbutin (releases hydroquinone in skin): Can release small amounts of hydroquinone on the skin, and there's no human pregnancy data, so a 2022 review makes no recommendation yet (Putra et al. 2022, SCCS 2023). ROSMARINUS OFFICINALIS (ROSEMARY) LEAF OIL, SALVIA SCLAREA (CLARY) OIL, SALVIA SCLAREA (CLARY) EXTRACT. Essential oil often flagged in pregnancy: NHS maternity guidance says not to use clary sage before 37 weeks, and European regulators say not to use rosemary oil medicines in pregnancy. That advice isn't about the small amounts in skincare, and evidence of harm is limited. This is general information, not medical advice. Check with your OB-GYN or dermatologist.
Does My Scheming Extra Ampoule Sheet Mask contain fragrance or other common allergens?
Yes. My Scheming Extra Ampoule Sheet Mask contains fragrance, essential oils, alcohol denat., niacinamide, which can bother sensitive skin. This doesn't affect its pregnancy rating, and most people use these ingredients without a problem; if your skin is sensitive or you've reacted to one before, patch-test it first or look for an alternative.
Is it OK for kids and teens?
Kids (ages 3–11)
Use with care
- Exfoliating acid (AHA) (GLYCOLIC ACID): Glycolic, lactic, and mandelic acids can irritate young skin, and children rarely need them. We can't see the strength, so low amounts are flagged too.
- Fragrance or essential oils (ROSMARINUS OFFICINALIS (ROSEMARY) LEAF OIL, SALVIA SCLAREA (CLARY) OIL, CANANGA ODORATA FLOWER OIL, LAVANDULA ANGUSTIFOLIA (LAVENDER) OIL, CITRUS AURANTIUM BERGAMIA (BERGAMOT) FRUIT OIL, FRAGRANCE): Children's skin reacts to fragrance and essential oils more easily; fragrance-free products are the usual advice for kids, especially with eczema or sensitive skin.
Teens (ages 12–17)
Use with care
- Exfoliating acid (AHA) (GLYCOLIC ACID): Glycolic, lactic, and mandelic acids can irritate, especially alongside acne treatments. Fine for some teens, used a few times a week.
- Essential oils (ROSMARINUS OFFICINALIS (ROSEMARY) LEAF OIL, SALVIA SCLAREA (CLARY) OIL, CANANGA ODORATA FLOWER OIL, LAVANDULA ANGUSTIFOLIA (LAVENDER) OIL, CITRUS AURANTIUM BERGAMIA (BERGAMOT) FRUIT OIL): A known cause of allergic skin reactions, such as to lavender and tea tree oils.
Helps with acne: NIACINAMIDE.
