Pores Be Pure Skin-Clarifying Mud Mask

The Good: The first thing that attracted me to this mask was the price and the list of ingredients. The bentonite clay, strawberry extract, and salicylic acid are all ingredients that help with controlling oily skin. Application was easy due to the very creamy texture. I found the light strawberry scent quite pleasant and was happy that it only took 5-10 minutes for the mask to completely dry.

The Bad: While this mask did soften my skin, I did not really notice any difference in my pores or with the level of oiliness of my skin after several uses. Rinsing this mask was quite easy, however afterward, there was a noticeable pink residue on my face that took multiple swipes of a toner soaked cotton round to completely remove.

The Verdict: 2.5 out 5 stars... While the price of this mask is unbeatable, and the ingredients list impressive, I probably will not be repurchasing this mask again. It may be good for those with mild oil control needs, but for moderately oily acne prone skinned IT Girls like me, this mask just did not pack a whole lot of punch.

Whenever I feel like my skin has just had a crappy week, with breakouts galore, or if it's just you know, my special time, this stuff really gets in and does all the hard work for you. I've been using this product at least monthly for the last two years and I can tell you that it works just as well as it did when I first used it. My skin generally gets really tolerant of products and as this is one of my all time favourite masks I'm so glad my skin hasn't gained tolerance to it (touch wood.)

Not only do I love mud masks, but this one has quite and odd smell that I've become quite fond of and at such an inexpensive price, it truly is a brilliant bargain.
