Best clay mask I tried. It's really effective and does a throughly deep clean into the pores. I have very oily acne prone skin trough the year and using this product on a regular basis made my skin smoother, more balanced and healthier. It's a strong clay, I had to start using it slowly for my skin to adjust. It's almost creamy and moisturizing. As a general application technique, I always find helpful to use two layers of clay to get all of it's benefits while minimizing potential dryness.
