Details
A fragrance-free, alcohol-free clay-cream wash-off mask that draws out sebum and refines pores without leaving skin tight.
YBK Pore Clear Clay Cream Mask is a creamy wash-off mask built on four clays — kaolin, bentonite, illite and montmorillonite — plus corn starch to adsorb sebum and impurities and smooth pores. A cushion of glycerin, diglycerin and a soothing botanical complex of houttuynia, calendula, kudzu and hinoki keeps skin comfortable rather than stripped, with gluconolactone as a gentle PHA. Fragrance-free and alcohol-free, with 29 of 31 ingredients screening low-risk.
- Multi-clay pore care — kaolin, bentonite, illite and montmorillonite adsorb sebum and impurities to refine pores.
- Creamy, non-drying texture — humectants and botanicals cushion the clay so skin does not tighten or feel stripped.
- Soothing botanical complex — houttuynia, calendula, kudzu and hinoki calm while gluconolactone gently resurfaces.
- Fragrance- and alcohol-free — no added fragrance, denatured alcohol or BHA; screens almost entirely low-risk.
Hero ingredients: A kaolin, bentonite, illite and montmorillonite clay complex, with houttuynia, calendula and kudzu botanicals and gluconolactone (PHA).
How to use: After cleansing, spread an even layer over dry skin, avoiding the eye and lip area. Leave on 5-10 minutes — it sets fairly quickly, so apply without delay — then rinse off thoroughly with lukewarm water. Use 1-2 times a week.
Read before you buy: This is a wash-off clay mask for oily and pore-prone skin. It sets fast, so spread it quickly, and it can take a little effort to rinse fully; no spatula is included. It contains two colorant ingredients (iron oxides) that screen mid-risk. Patch test 48 hours before regular use. The full ingredient list and our risk screening are on the product page at dhaliora.xyz.

What we think
Multi-clay pore care
Kaolin, bentonite, illite and montmorillonite plus corn starch adsorb sebum and impurities to refine pores.
Creamy, non-drying texture
Glycerin, diglycerin and a botanical complex cushion the clay so skin does not tighten or feel stripped.
Clean, soothing formula
Fragrance- and alcohol-free with houttuynia, calendula and kudzu plus gluconolactone (PHA); 29 of 31 ingredients screen low-risk.
Sets and rinses with effort
It dries fairly fast so it needs spreading quickly, and can take a little work to rinse fully; no spatula is included.
Contains colorants
Two iron-oxide colorants screen mid-risk, though they are cosmetically routine.
Most pore clay masks over-dry or hide behind fragrance and alcohol. This one keeps a creamy, cushioned texture on a four-clay base, adds soothing botanicals and a gentle PHA, and skips fragrance and denatured alcohol. Best for oily and pore-prone skin that wants sebum control without tightness; drier skin can spot-treat the T-zone. It sets fast and takes a little effort to rinse, and it carries two colorants, but on a clean, non-drying profile it out-performs harsher clays, which is why it earns its place.

Against the field
Same grading for every product
Olive Young best-sellers Korea
A gentle mung-bean clay wash-off mask, a close and well-regarded rival, though our formula adds a broader four-clay base and botanical complex.
A real-mugwort soothing wash-off pack for sensitive skin, close on calming, but it centers on soothing rather than the multi-clay pore-clearing ours delivers.
A stronger tea-tree and cica clay mask for oily skin, but it uses denatured alcohol our fragrance- and alcohol-free cream avoids.
Amazon best-sellers US
A powerful single-ingredient bentonite powder you mix yourself, but harsh and drying with no soothing base, where ours is a cushioned, ready-to-use clay cream.
A charcoal, kaolin and bentonite detox mask that draws out oil, but a tightening clay lacking the moisturizing cream base and botanicals of ours.
A volcanic-ash clay mask with walnut scrub and AHA, but a stiff drying clay where ours is a cushioned clay cream with a soothing base.

Friction
Read the frictions as fit cues: this is a gentle, moisturizing clay mask for pore care, so it won't strip the skin and doesn't come with an applicator tool.
Good fit if
- Pore-prone skin that wants clay care without a dry, tight feeling
- Dry or sensitive skin that finds most clay masks too stripping
- Anyone who likes a creamy, cooling weekly pore mask
Not for you if you want
- A deep, stripping clay clean — this one stays gentle and moisturizing
- An included spatula — a few note there isn't one
- Instant pore shrinking — it is gentle, gradual pore care
