Love the mask, hate the price
This clay mask/PHA exfoliating mask always leaves my pores appearing smaller and my skin soft and never dry. It’s a little different when compared to other clay masks I’ve tried. You only need one pump to cover your entire face (I used like 3 the first time I tried this. trust me, you don’t need that much). It goes on a pinkish color, but you are supposed to massage it in until the product turns white. This mask feels kinda sticky and it doesn’t dry down in the same way other clay masks do, but I actually prefer this. The clay and birch sap in here will still remove excess oil, but the high glycerin content makes it so your skin isn’t left feeling tight and dry. The PHA gently exfoliates and always leaves my skin feeling so smooth and soft. The price is something that does bother me, but I won’t doc a star here because I’m reviewing how the product itself works. This mask does go on sale sometimes at sephora so I recommend keeping an eye out and picking it up then. I recommend this for acne prone skin or textured skin of any type (oily, normal, dry), but if you are sensitive be careful. This is a wash off product so some sensitive skin folks may be fine, but for others I can imagine the birch sap, PHA, and/or the fragrance in this to be an issue.

It’s the best
Every time I use this mask it is as if my skin is reset & flawless again. Never dried my skin and made me feel lifted!
