Ingredients Explained
These ingredients are found in both products.
Ingredients higher up in an ingredient list are typically present in a larger amount.
Bentonite is an aluminium phyllosilicate clay with great absorbent properties. The name 'bentonite' comes from the area where the largest source is found: Fort Benton, Wyoming.
As a clay, bentonite is often used to absorb excess oil and provide exfoliation. It has also been shown to have some antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties. Studies show bentonite was effective at calming dermatitis from poison ivy and in diaper dermatitis of infants. Bentonite has also been shown to act as a barrier against toxic compounds on your skin.
Sunscreens containing bentonite display higher water resistance and stay on the skin for much longer. The sunscreens containing bentonite also show higher potency and UV light absorbtion.
Bentonite is naturally created from volcanic ash and several natural weathering/hydrothermal processes.
A common usage of bentonite is removing excess protein from white wines. Bentonite contains a property of being able to absorb large amounts of protein from aqueous solutions.
Phyllosilicate clay has a structure formed by sheets.

I was so excited to buy this mask. I love most of the Glow Recipe stuff I've tried...
The packaging was beautiful, as always, and the smell was okay, although not as nice as I have come to expect from Glow Recipe, more like a faint, fake, creamy strawberry smell than the lovely fruity experience you associate with the brand. No matter.
I do have sensitive skin and the mask says it is gentle enough to use for 5 minutes every day. I tried 3 minutes the first day, and my skin stung so badly, everything I put on it after hurt. skipped a day and tried 2 mins, skipped a day and tried 2 minutes, but it made my skin so uncomfortable.

I have combination skin that's more on the dry side, but I've been getting a lot of breakouts lately, I imagine due to stress. So I tried this mask out. First of all, I read on other sites that you should only keep it on for 5 to 10 minutes or until you feel it tighten, contrary to what the label says. I washed mine off after 10 minutes. It definitely was hard to get off and made a mess, and my skin has a noticeable amount of redness. But I really can't argue with the results. My pores are still there of course, but most of them are so clean that they almost look like I had extractions done. I used a hydrating serum and a heavy duty night cream after washing it off and I have to say, I'm pretty impressed.
Note: Skinsort says this product isn't vegan or cruelty free, but it actually is.
