Why it works

What this formula actually does

Built around kaolin + bentonite clay complex and screened ingredient by ingredient — here is what earns its place.

01

Multi-clay pore care

Kaolin, bentonite, illite and montmorillonite plus corn starch adsorb sebum and impurities to refine pores.

02

Creamy, non-drying texture

Glycerin, diglycerin and a botanical complex cushion the clay so skin does not tighten or feel stripped.

03

Clean, soothing formula

Fragrance- and alcohol-free with houttuynia, calendula and kudzu plus gluconolactone (PHA); 29 of 31 ingredients screen low-risk.

Our take

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.

Worth knowing

  • Sets and rinses with effortIt dries fairly fast so it needs spreading quickly, and can take a little work to rinse fully; no spatula is included.
  • Contains colorantsTwo iron-oxide colorants screen mid-risk, though they are cosmetically routine.
